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 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
"Your supporters (23 households) who shopped at Kroger between 2-25-2018 and 5-26-2018 (Cycle 5, Qtr 3) have contributed to your $34.95 total donation.

Awww...thankies! 🙂
Dang we are there every week! Our visits alone should have generated that. Must send a supplement!
are you registered in Amazon's Smile listing for donations? I don't know if you qualify but you might check it out: org.amazon.com/ref=smi_se_saas_org_org
How do WE get our Kroger card to do this for you?
I have a long night ahead of me trying to keep this beautiful, starving hawk alive.
Since you can't feed whole food yet due to level of emaciation, I do a gastric lavage of lactated ringers and a special recovery food for carnivores Q2 hours around the clock, either until they expire, or feel better. You have to slowly jump start their system to start producing digestive enzymes again before you introduce whole food.
Offering whole food to a starving raptor is how the unsuspecting Good Samaritan kills them with kindness because they don't know any better.
It will be a miracle if I can help him through his trouble, the poor thing.
But the thing about miracles? I not only believe in them, I RELY on them. Please keep him in your prayers over the next couple days. If he lives through this night, his chances will be greatly improved for recovery.

Praying for him! My backyard and deck railing have suddenly turned into a hawk hangout and I have loved watching them from my window. They are so beautiful and fascinating.
Tabatha Chafkin Tabby Cat - You were on my mind while I was returning with the bird today...an hour and a half drive one way, and for some reason, there you were in my little hade, wondering if you were still on FB because I never see anything on my newsfeed. I'm glad to see you.
Glad this baby is under your care!!
Bless him. And you.
You a saint
I've said it many times...Monteen, you're one in a million 👍👍
Thank you all for your kind words...
Poor buddy. And it's not stupid to want to show compassion and be with a sick creature and show them love if they're going to die. Much better in a warm lap than a hard crate. Hope he pulls through.
Prayers for the little guy. I so hope he makes it !!!
Sending good thoughts and healing energy to you both.
Sending prayers
Bless your heart. Really.
I will chip in a bit towards the care fund.
So glad there is someone like you committed to the task and knowledgeable.
Thank You
And heaven gained another feathery angel at about 7:30 tonight... *sigh*
I had a good cry and went to bed...
Good luck lady. Carol and I had a very low success rate when they were that far down.
Hugs.
hugs & prayers <3
It’s not stupid for you to hold him in case he dies! Thank you for caring so much.
Thank you for helping him. Pray it survives
Dang it, I’m so sorry. There are days when the world just seems too harsh.
Prayers
Fiona and Heather, the receiver of the ring this morning...
Are you going to the wedding? I think Fiona should fly down the isle with the rings!
Awe... Fiona owl kisses
Awww Fiona is sooo sweet! I always love it when you show her in your videos <3
Holy cow...I just had an in-house field trip with a young couple and he proposed marriage to her with Cotton on her glove! It was awesome and it was all I could do not to burst into tears...
Romantic for an owl lover.
That he chose you and the birds to be with when he proposed ...is so sweet....I'm sure she will always remember
Cotton and Heather
I think I would have cried!
Tell me somebody got a video or a photo! ❤️
Now that's a guy to say yes too!
