The cannibal bird
Hawks are vicious creatures. They are also cannibals. A hawk has been hanging around the four story office building where I work. The building is designed to keep birds from hanging off its ledges. Wires have been strung on every ledge on the theory that birds don’t land on really thin metal wires. The hawk sits on these wires and watches birds.
Our cubicle zombies have speculated that the hawk is a scaredy hawk because they have observed other birds complaining about his presence and doing dive bombing runs. I’ve explained that it is the hawk dominating these conversations and not the legions of caterwauling complainer birds. My explanation proved correct today.
The hawk caught a smaller bird and ripped its head off. It left the pieces of the dead bird on a window ledge for all of us to ponder on.
