Funny video

This is a hilarious video i found on youtube. It originally aired on Americas funniest home videos. I couldnt figure out what kind of bird it was but it looked like a red shouldered hawk? I kinda feel sad for the kid! lol

I just wish it could have been a russian dwarf hamster. Those things are evil.

Petco actualy gave me one on the condition that I kill it as soon as I got it home. They had affectionately named it "Fat Bastard" and they wanted it dead LOL.

I have seen that video before, it is staged. In the full version, you can see the hawk perched on the fence and the boy sits the mouse on the cage and then the hawk flys over and snatches it and flys over and lands in the yard. I think if you slow it down, you can see anklets on the hawk. The version sent into Funniest Home Video's doesn't show the entire video. Not very funny to me if it was a falconer! But there are plenty of folks out there that have hawks illegally.

Oh it looked staged to me but i made the assumption otherwise! Thanks Fred for telling me that!
