Hawks are birds of prey known for their sharp eyesight and hunting skills. They are found in various habitats worldwide, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas. While hawks primarily feed on small animals such as rodents and birds, concerns have been raised about their potential danger to humans.
Although hawks are not typically aggressive towards humans, certain circumstances can increase the risk of an attack. During nesting season, hawks may become territorial and protective of their young, leading them to perceive humans as a threat. Additionally, injured or sick hawks may exhibit unpredictable behavior and attack if they feel threatened.
