A falcon once landed in my backyard with a starling still alive in its claws. We got to watch the whole showdown. It was gruesome. It was violent. It was fucking metal.

Basically Planet Earth in my backyard, 10/10

starlings like to drop their shit in our pool but stop when the hawks/flacons start flying around.

I had a Cooper's hawk do the same with a pigeon. The kids and I stood at the backdoor in awe. It was such a raw display of violence with blood and feathers everywhere.

The only downside was the cleanup after.

There is a shockingly large number of feathers in even a small bird.

Nah, Walking with Dinosaurs is more accurate.

The modern version is Flying with Dinosaurs.

The eagle and seagull spinoff is Soaring with Dinosaurs.
