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
Lovin' from the oven! it's that time of year!

Rat poison kills everyone!
Rat poison killing larger animals, worsening rodent problem
Wildlife rehabilitators are urging residents and business owners not to use rat poison as it is suspected in the deaths of three foxes and a coyote in Gloucester in recent weeks, as well as countless ...A GHO I tried to help, but was too far gone. 🙁
If you don't want rats, don't create a food supply and breeding ground for them. Dispose of waste properly, and don't kill/scare off their natural predators (aka birds/snakes/cats)
I have been beating this drum loudly for years! NO POISON!! Let raptors do their jobs!!
It took out two mountain lions in Southern California last month alone. 😢
I thought deacon was outlawed... but I've seen tv commercials recently 😠
Please trap rodents - do not use poison.
Her mind is fine, but her body no longer wants to cooperate due to advanced MS. Her husband is also in a wheelchair now because he's lost circulation in his right foot; his toes are black and they're getting ready to have to amputate below the knee.
Her MS is worsening and she's falling out of her chair often, so often now that they were embarrassed to call 911 AGAIN - the 4th time this week, so they called me. It's not the first time I've gotten her back up, but this was definitely the hardest.
I found her in a crumpled heap between the shower stall and the toilet. It took forever to find the 'belt', a wide woven thing to put around her waist to help get her up on her knees so she could help me drag her forward onto the wheelchair, then get her turned around. She usually has jeans on and I can grab the belt loops to hoist her up, but not this time.
These people aren't old. She's 4 years older than me and I think her husband is close to 70. He used to be so vibrant and chatty - would help me tinker with the lawn mower so I wouldn't have to spend money to take it somewhere. *sigh*
Whatever god you pray to, be thankful that today, you are whole; you can arise from your chair and walk across the room or down steps. It's the simple things that we take for granted.
I'm glad I was there to help.
So sorry for this couple and thankful you have a helping heart. Do they have any family?
You should take great comfort and pride in knowing these people realize you can depend on you. Be proud
This makes me sad and thankful at the same time. Sad for their particular situation but thankful they have you in their life. ♥️
Hugs good thoughts and prayers. So sorry. They are both lucky to have you to call on
Amen. Thankful that they have dear friends such as you <3
Bless you🙏
Prayers
Please tell them not to be embarrassed to call 911. Public safety officers/dispatchers do what they do because they want to help
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just a suggestion to rehabbers of a particular discipline. Don't go out of your wheelhouse. Get the bird to someone who understands how they are put together.
As a rehabber of raptors, I know NOTHING about deer and would never in a million years examine one because I don't know anything about their physiology.
That 'pop' you heard when you were palpating the wing? That was YOU, fracturing the bone.
The bird had to be euthanized.
Thanks a pant load.
Amen Sister!
“First, do no harm......” I’m a nurse and I’ve had basic raptor training for volunteer work and it’s GENTLE assessment. Your eyes work better than your hands sometimes! And another human nurse lesson....watch your patient! Ugh! But I have learned LOADS from all your videos! Like injecting mice with fluids to help rehydrate......nothing beats hands on but your videos often help me answer questions people ask too. You’ve been my inspiration!
"Wannabe's" have a way of fouling up sooooooo much stuff. LISTEN TO MONTINE, you wannabe's, she knows what she's doing. I've watched her for years and I do not contribute my money to bums...she's the BOSS with those birds. Learn it. 👍👍
Oh geez, I’m sorry - That you were on the receiving end of a case like that and for the bird. What is the saying? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Another happy customer!
This is a really cool place - second floor on the square in Dahlonega!
I want to snuggle an owl 🦉😍 does he let you kiss him?
So cute!!! Would love to get to meet him, let us know if you are visiting some parks soon 😊🦉
Fi and I had a fun day up at the Tea House in Dahlonega yesterday!
Thankies!

I don’t know what your doing up in them there hills, but it’s agreeing with you..... think you have found the fountain of youth. Love this photo!
