INJURED BIRDS OF PREY Birds of prey can be very dangerous to humans and small pets. If you find a bird of prey that appears sick or injured please call  Nature’s Nursery for specific advice and in many cases we will need to get a trained volunteer to get the animal. HAWK/EAGLE JUST HOPPING AND NOT FLYING When Birds of Prey (like hawks and eagles) catch their food they do something called “mantling.” They will have their wings slightly out and hunch over their food, almost like they are protecting it from other animals that may want to steal it from them. If the bird is still in that location hours later, chances are it may need our help. Please give us a call before going out after any Bird of Prey.
