We had seen that video quite a while ago...
totally off topic about hawks... Harris hawks actually hunt and attack in groups or pairs. One of the interesting things we learned while on the hawk walks in Ireland. I think he said Harris were the only birds of prey who attack in this manner. The second walk we took out both female hawks and they communicated constantly throughout the walk. And Eric explained that on a real hunt, one hawk flushes out and then they both attack.
Here is a video we took of the second hawk walk. Eric kept moving the bait even when it should have been dead and you can see how they react and the second one jumps on when she thinks the other needs help with the kill.
