Thank you for visiting HawkTalk.Org
Call us at 1-770-720-1847 to discuss hawk rescue. We care for raptors (birds of prey) that cannot be released back to the wild.
We also rehabilitate hawks, owls, eagles, kites, falcons and ospreys.
We need Mouse Money!
We are a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization located in North Georgia providing hawk rescue and care for other raptors (birds of prey) including owls, eagles, falcons and osprey.
We operate our facility based on donations from caring people who, for one reason or another, aren’t in the position to be rehabbers themselves, but are interested in and dedicated to the preservation and protection of raptors.
We also do off site programs for schools, nature centers, scouts, birthday parties, public displays, etc. This is done on a fee basis. Please call for details!
Hacking for hawk rescue or owl rehabilitation.
Hacking is an old falconry technique that is literally, thousands of years old. Hacking (AKA soft release) is how we re-introduced the Golden Eagle back to the Cumberland Plateau in northwest Georgia, the American Bald eagle to the Lake Allatoona area north of Atlanta and the Peregrine Falcon in downtown Atlanta. We can help you with this procedure or provide it as a service.
For more information, see our blog post on Hacking Orphaned Hawks and Owls.
Here’s what we have going at Facebook
I had no idea that these sweet ladies made this clip after their visit with us almost a decade ago! I just now ran across it... 🙂

I heard Adrienne bouncing around all the way up here as I came into the living room. All of a sudden, I envisioned him breaking feathers off left and right so I threw my clothes on, grabbed the gloves and out the door we went! Didn't even bother with grabbing the phone!
Off into the wild blue yonder he went!
God speed, beautiful!
Crazy AWSOME!
What do you think happened to him as to why he was sitting on the side of the road like that yesterday? He let me get very close to him. He didn’t even move. Almost like he was stunned?
That is awesome 😊
Yay! I just got the biggest chill girl...i used to say the same thing to my releases....God speed little one!
Go Adrienne!!!!
So happy for you and him.
Shout out to A. Nielsen for messenging me about this downed RTHA!
Best of luck with him! He's a magnificent bird. Gorgeous! Hope his recovery is swift and complete! 🍀🐦
BEAUTIFUL! Hoping for full recovery!
This didn't happen very long ago because the bird isn't wet, so I am able to administer Metacam quickly to help thwart brain swelling that can result in blindness due to the pressure being put on the optic nerve. It's a non-steroid antiinflammatory drug that I wish the 'old' vets would switch to rather than hitting them with pred. I only use that as a last ditch effort. Bird was also pretty thin so I also gave Ivermectin for endo/ecto parasites.
Prayers for total wellness! I know you know what to do!🙏🏼
