As some of you know I am close friends with a couple falconers. A few days ago a male red tailed hawk attacked one of their male saker falcons, who was weathering in the backyard SURROUNDED by 10+ raptors. They rarely have to worry about wild raptors, what bird would be stupid enough to fly into what looks like a lions den.
My friend was inside, when he suddenly heard his birds all freaking out and screaming. Poor Hugh(the attacked saker) was saved, but it seems he may have been blinded in one eye. It's heart breaking, if he is blind he can no longer free fly, something he LOVES to do. He also would no longer be used for abatement.
Send good thoughts his ways that his eye recovers, he's on meds right now to fight off any secondary infections from his wounds and we should have a answer in a few weeks.
Please be careful having parrots outside on a perch

How sad for such a magnificent creature to be grounded. Let's hope the eye recovers!
