The Falcon Wins - Racing Pigeons VS. Raptors (Ep.4)

This was a pretty easy one for the falcon.

00:00 - You can hear all the usual sounds when the hawk attack will follow in a few seconds: the crows scream and fly towards the city agitated, the magpies announce the imminent attack and the pigeons from the aviary fly to hide in the loft. The flying flock is disoriented until they see where the hawk comes from.

00:35 - The first attack being in the first minutes after liberation separates many pigeons because they didn't get to warm their muscles and really connect well as a flock.

00:48 - The second attack few minutes later is already better handled by the flock, with very little separation of birds. The hawk knew it had no chance but it was waiting for a sick pigeon to separate and drop to the ground (easy prey).

01:20 - The third hawk attack although more dangerous is handled well by the flock with perfect 180 degrees turns and no separation.

01:43 - As usual, after the hawks attacks, the falcon arrives and starts the chase. It wasn't a very long chase, it caught a pigeon ridiculously easy right from the border of the flock. That pigeon was sick and recovered but the birds of prey observe things that we humans don't.
