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.

Awww...look, he was patiently waiting his turn. (check the glowing eyes in the background)
I saw a hawk yesterday sitting on branch outside owl house swoop down for breakfast which he feasted on on top wood pile. Grey rabbit we saw Sunday before church.
Another one for the win column!
So AWESOME!! Made my heart happy ❤️
Hello Monteen, is this one wounded one by a gunshot? Is our little baby vulture friend still around? 🤗
FINALLY agrees to eat, but I had to hand it to her. 🙂
So I'm confused, I read in another post that you don't think she'll be able to release, but that they don't do well in captivity either. So is the other option what I'm thinking?? Cause then what was the point of trying to rehab her if there's no chance she'll do well in either scenario? Just curious 😊
She’s training you. 😉
How's she doing otherwise?
Gun shot victim - not wanting to feed yet. *sigh*
He is got serious poof head
Thankful he is with you!!
Awww
❣️🙏💛🙏❣️
Holy cow! Three at once!
They're so little! How wonderful to see this!
You’re going to need air traffic control. LOL
Runway 5R cleared for landing!
Awesome
Dine in or takey outy!!!
Yayyyyyy!
PS - I never realized I had so much deer activity...I won't bore you with those...:)
I love this!!!!!
NOW, I can take a deep breath! I invested in a trail cam so I know the screech babes are coming down for food The hackboard = their lifeline! so, as they mature as start catching food on their own, they will disperse from the area to begin the next phase of their journey.
The screech's don't come out during the day like the Barred owls do, so this small investment gives me a good feeling that things are progressing like they should.
This is a really cool (though low cost relatively speaking) trail cam where the photos come directly to your phone through an app. Very cool, esp if you've had to hassle with physically going to the unit, removing the chip, taking it back down to the house for downloading, then taking it BACK to reinstall into the unit. What a pain!! I'm in tall cotton up in here!
Look into Wyz cameras. Cheap. Need wifi though.
So glad this is working and the babies are feeding.
Nice
I love this!!!!
Vicky needs one for her deer herd.
Weeee!
If you have ever thought about making a Mouse Money donation to us, but either kept forgetting or money was tight, or whatever the reason, now would be a really fine time to help us. The babies are eating a LOT of food right now as they haven't figured out how to catch their own yet, They burn a lot of calories right now since they are now strong flyers and I still have three youngsters that haven't been released yet.
Our PP donation button keeps dropping off of our FB page, so won't you please go over to our web site www.hawktalk.org and look for the donate button? It will take you to our secure site and the transaction is real easy and you can choose either a one time donation or a recurring donation every month.
If you're hinky about electronic donating, our mailing address - POBox 130 - Holly Springs, GA - 30142
We are a postage stamp size charity and receive no help from the agencies that regulate us and have no black tie fund raisers or deep pocket donors...we live our life 5 - 10 - 20$ at a time. It has been CRAZY over here fielding calls, dealing with renests and injury cases since the two local raptor centers have been closed.
Thanks for your consideration!
I love watching them grow and return to the wild. Mouse Money sent. I had been meaning to send it the last two weeks and just hadn't gotten to it. Your nudge helped me actually login and send it. Thank you again for all you do.
This is a barred owl, correct?
