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 learned a new word yesterday. I've been involved with raptors for a minute and never, until yesterday, have ever heard the term 'plumicorn' - it's in reference to owl tufts.
My friend was killing time waiting for her rooommate to come out of surgery and was playing trivia on her phone when she texted me about it. I searched the term and there it was...
Next I went over to my buddy's page for all things owl www.owlpages.com and looked in the feather section but didn't see anything so I emailed him last night and axed if he had ever heard that word because I didn't see it in that section, so he has since added a blurb about it.
As I was scrolling down I saw the section about uropygial glands. I cracked up laughing remembering once I was giving a class to some young kids years ago. I sort of start at the head and work my way down the body so when I turned Sam around and separated the feathers at the top of his tail, a little kid yelled out, "That looks like my baby brother's penis!"
Kids.
The Owl Pages - Information about Owls
www.owlpages.com
Everything to do with owls - Detailed descriptions of different species, including photos and sounds. Also includes mythology, art, books, collectables and more.Plumicorn. I like it. I've been searching to find if there's a word for the super-fine hairs that make up the tufts behind and below the ears of our mutt dog, Eli. I call them his mighty ear tufts.
Yeah, I know this isn't about birds, but we're having a baby!!!!

BOTH!!!!!!!
Did he “beak” or “foot” you during the shoes placement? Lol! Hope your scratches feel better!
“I like you but do NOT mess with my feet!” ( kind of how I feel about a pedicure)
Mr. Malone is very handsome 🤩
