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
My x husband used to declare that I would one day become road kill for stopping traffic to get the turtles to the other side of the road. Their territorial, so don't 'drive them away to a safer spot' because they spend their lives not venturing too far from home.www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2250693705122702&set=a.155761377949289

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.I always stop and move them in the same direction they are headed. I used to take them to “safe” places until I found out there is a reason they are going in the direction that they are.
The more I’ve heard “Darwin Award” or “who cares” the more I do it! ❤️💚
I got rear ended because I slowed down to pull over....the idiot who hit me called his mommy who went ballisitic on me screaming - "look what you did - you did this for a turtle"...ah no....HE hit me - going UPHILL!!!!!!!! Hit me so hard, my car went airborne, and the turtle, which was 2 car lengths IN FRONT OF ME ended up between the wheels of his car! I picked it up and put it on the side of the road in the bushes where it was headed.....it came out of the shell and scurried away! so 2 totalled cars - but the turtle was fine this time!
I stop and if I am able will move them or wave down a passing car for help. I have a little dude as a pet and they are at our mercy they just want to go from here to there. #turtlelove
I will always stop, or flip it around like a crazy person to get back before some dumbass runs over them.
yes, and just move them across the road they are crossing, do not relocate them as that will mess up where they layed their eggs.
I always stop or go back to help.
I do the same
Flip them in the direction they're heading.
Always

I live near you in the same Georgia county. If you would be amenable and wouldn't mind the occasional visit, I would like to start bringing by a mouse money (cash) donation. Being retired, it won't be a lot, but HawkTalk was my Amazon Smile charity. Considering how little I bought in 2022, my in-person donation will likely be larger than my portion of that check from Amazon.
So sad they are ending this program 😞
