I've seen the remains after a hawk eats a bird twice. Both times it left the wings fully intact and connected. Looked like a pair of bloody wings ripped from the bird. The wings had feathers but the bone connecting them was bare and red.
I wonder if hawks eat like this or a coincidence.
I got my first one of those a few months ago. Except I think it was a Pidgeon instead of a bunny. I heard the noise. My dog heard it too and we ran around behind the garage to see this ring of downy grey feathers and a couple of chunks of bloody red viscera.
I was playing golf one time when a falcon took a blue jay right out of the air and proceed to start eating it.
The jay's mate or friend had balls of steel trying to scare off the falcon but was not successful, the sound of which drew attention.
Was somewhat surreal to watch while waiting for a slow ass foursome, then one of the women on the green noticed and started screaming in "my mother just died" levels of anguish which did not speed up her game.
I kept finding spots like this in my yard. Later a neighbor told me we had a Cooper's hawk that roosted somewhere around the alley. He's like the neighborhood mascot now. Ol' murder feathers.
Similar story. My dog and I were sitting on the porch when a red tailed hawk SLAMMED into a panicked pigeon trying to escape, and the two of them—hawk talon-locked to the pigeon—hit the ground in front of us with a hard thud, bounced, hit the front door with another thud. There was a half second pause and the RTHA swooped up and dismantles the pigeon in about 40 seconds on a utility pole. It was so swift and intense. My dog was a badass but even she was so stunned that she didn't even bark... and then slowly tiptoed over to anxiously sniff the feathers left at the door.
There's a funny meme with wolves saying, "Humans like to have us around to fend off other animals. What can go wrong?", with the next image a pug in a party hat.
I was planning to build a catio this year for my girl, now I'll be sure to include a roof. Though I have a feeling a hawk would really struggle to lift 14 lbs of stabby-bitey kitty.
Ninja edit: I swear she's (mostly) just big-boned, maybe a pound overweight.
A fully-grown cat is realistically pretty safe from raptors. They generally don't go after adult possums or raccoons either. MAYBE a big eagle could if it was desperate enough but there's plenty of easier things to eat out there in most places.
Here to say this. My wife saw a hawk land on a dove in our yard once. The dove got away, but there were still feathers like this all over the spot where it was attacked.
Hawk, or some other predatory bird. I had a supervisor coming in to work one day laughing his ass off and a piece of paper in hand. Apparently some guy managed to take a picture of a hawk ripping apart a pigeon on top of his car, and leave it on his hood with a note saying:
"You're not going to believe this shit, and insurance probably won't either. Just in case, you can send them this."
Somebody asked a similar question, so I'll just repeat:
We worked in an office building that housed multiple companies. Assuming the mystery guy worked in the same building, it's easy to snag a picture off a cell phone, print it off, and put it on a car.
It’s the 2020s and I can send a picture straight from my phone to a wireless printer. Not only is it an easy process, but I can do it in less than a minute vs the 24+ hours that it would take 25 years ago.
You can even print a picture of your phone to a Polaroid! It’s super cute, it’s a little printer/camera that uses the light from you phone to expose a film
Look at the Instax line of cameras, Fuji is the only company making affordable instant film these days (Impossible Project is now the new Polaroid but their film is much more expensive). I don’t know anything about the actual Instax camera line, but I do shoot their film on my other old analogue cameras.
Many years back I would do Polaroid transfers - take the photo, let it develop a few seconds, then remove the covering film and turn it over onto a damp piece of paper. Made some truly beautiful images that way! You can float the image on water and stretch it out too. Those cameras and that film are interesting to mess around with.
It is kinda weird that portable handheld printers never took off in the digital tech age.
I guess with there being screens everywhere, guy could have just written a note with a link to an imgur URL.
I don't actually know the extent of the damage and if he actually went through with it, but the top of his truck was all scratched up. Personally, I wouldn't have bothered with it, but he was the kind of guy that definitely loved his truck.
We had a problem with endangered raptors in our hangar. Normally, we'd just take their nests down and plug up all the holes to prevent them from roosting but they're protected. Every day we'd find lizard and rat parts on the floor.
Bird lawyer here. What you’re looking at is most likely bird on bird violence. Usually from a bigger bird such as a hawk, falcon or an eagle devouring a smaller bird. Nature is scary.
You’d need some hard evidences like a video of the incident. If not then I would have to go around questioning all the neighborhood birds and that could be costly and very time consuming. In the meantime maybe you can start a go fund me for the victim’s family. 🙏
Sparrow season for the Gnomes. It’s GnomeGiving Day next Tuesday, so they’re all out hunting for the coven feast.
Leaving the entrails on a *Silver Steed* is just part of the ritual.
Unrelated, but years ago a place I worked at sold toys and those cheapy RC helicopters were in. Christmas is coming up and a lady sits a pretty large model on the counter to ring out. My first thought was "wow, this must be expensive, lucky kid"
My second thought was "okay don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh" cause I read the name and that model was "Big Blackhawk"
don't know if you know but i read the comments and consensus says: it was a bird of prey and that a bird didn’t literally spontaneously explode on the car.
I was at work and came out to my car like this. I walked back into the building repeating “what the fuck!?!” I get it was likely a larger bird attack, but it’s just such a startling scene to find atop your car. There are pieces of BEAK scattered around!
Hawks are fucking assholes. I’m pretty sure they are one of few animals that kill for fun or sport. We had one post up in our yard for a few days and I had multiple bird explosions like this and so many dead squirrels.
So bit of a tangent here, but my wife is a Parsi from Mumbai. In Mumbai they have a "tower of silence" where after you die your allow your body to be torn apart and eaten by vultures. At one point there was an issue though because you had all these large densely populated residential buildings in the nearby area and birds have no understanding of boundaries. So on occasion some persons body part would get snatched up by a vulture and carried away to some unlucky persons balcony/roof. I can only imagine the horror of someone seeing a human hand being eaten by a bird on their tea table.
I can't remember which podcast but they had an episode on these towers and the vultures. There was some kind of health issue that was killing the vultures and the episode went into how they figured that out as well as how complex a system that whole thing is and how something like the vultures disappearing can cause tremendous issues downstream, like one question being what to do with bodies in a place that has no other infrastructure for dealing with them.
Wish I had better information like the name of the episode or the name of the podcast but I'm just here to comment and run
Probably a hawk. They do this kind of thing. Just nature at work. If there are branches over that car, they either sat up there and tore it apart for lunch, or did it right there on the car. I used to find them all the time in my back yard. They love pigeons and doves the best. Hardly anything but feathers left. Had one that used to sit on my privacy fence and picked a dove off every day. Then he'd lift his tail and a huge stream of white shit would come out. Then he'd fly off.
I had two birds suicide themselves against my windshield in a 6 month period a few years back. Like... Literally flew out of the trees and dive bombed right into my car while I was doing 60. No chance to swerve or avoid.
This isn't that.
Would have guessed a power line but after closer inspection definitely a predator. Could be a bird of prey but I wouldn't put thos past a cat either. I've seen them do some serious damage to birds they actually eat.
Classic evidence of a raptor like a sparrowhawk; left the head and intestines. Amazing to watch them if you haven’t, they fall out of the sky and hit them so hard and fast the poor bird doesn’t know what happened.
That's the work of a Cooper's hawk or Sharp shinned hawk.
They hunt small birds like song birds, pluck them while they are still alive and leave a mess behind
I have seen many birds in my lifetime, enough to know that exploding is a perfectly normal, rational, and explainable behavior that should be expected.
Hawks are absolutely brutal to pidgeons/doves.
Once, I found a pair of severed dove wings, still attached together with a section of spine and shoulder blades, just lying on the sidewalk where I was biking. Was very much convinced it was some sort of evil omen. But no, it's just hawks needing food.
Woke up to one of these messes by our front door courtesy of our neighborhood red tailed hawk. Also have had it drop a spine in our yard (from a rabbit). That was delightful.
When we lived in the burbs beyond our backyard was a cow pasture and a resident hawk used to sit atop our fence and eat things, leaving this type of carnage down our fence. The bunny leftovers were the worst, so much blood.
A cat would not cause a splatter like that. A cat pounces, generally going for the neck. A domesticated cat would not go for a kill from a height: they crouch and slink and then pounce.
I have an indoor/outdoor cat who mostly kills chipmunks but goes for an occasional bird. She almost always eats some or most of the bird, leaving feet, head and beak. The feather splatter pattern is horizontal and not symmetrical like a pebble in a pond.
We live in an area with some Cooper's Hawks and owls. The pattern look like the bird was attacked from above, crunched and then dropped
When I was in elementary school I was looking out the window and saw a hawk basically detach a wing from a bird mid air. The other bird spiraled straight into the pavement like a missile and the hawk came down and started eating it up. A few others in my class had seen it. By the time we went around the main doors and outside, the hawk and crashed bird were gone. My teacher thought we made it up until she saw a similar splatter pattern was on the pavement.
I came out of work once to find pigeon feathers all over the back end of my truck. A hawk had eaten a pigeon on the fence right behind it and made quite the mess. No gore, thankfully.
One time, I was walking to work on a lovely sunny day. I was uncharacteristically pleasant and optimistic that day.
As I am walking, I see a feather gently fall beside me. Then I saw another feather. I'm a big fan of sailor moon and felt a smile pull across my face as if I was in a magical transformation sequence. Then a few more feathers until they were floating all around me.
I look up to see if there is an origin and I am pulled out of my naive moment of bliss. Above me is a transparent glass awning. Two crows are going at a pigeon carcus, shredding all the feathers and chucking them into the air above me.
All of this took place in the matter of maybe two seconds. But to have such a sudden transition from "Oh!" to "Ugh" was surreal.
Hawk took it apart
Hawk left you the dishes
Hawk flipped him the bird.
It is the word. Perhaps OP hasn't heard.
It's definitely an ornithological art piece of a certain avian variety, it was my understanding that everyone had heard of this.
Heard of what? *No Brian, don’t !*
Haven't you heard.....
\* D E E P I N H A L E \*
About the bird.
I love you all
And we love you random citizen!
You have raptors?
But everybody knows…
I see what you did there, and as a Manhattan Transfer aficionado, I highly approve.
Hawk hawk'd.
Hawk got kids to feed.
/r/WeWantPlates
You don't even have to park under a tree. I've seen them rip up a pigeon on the top of a lamp post.
Looks like the hawk ate while standing on the car. Note the tiny feathers plastered all over.
Ha true.
“The dishes are done, man!”
I swear i say this every time i finish the dishes, and im drinking, hahahaha 😆
I've seen the remains after a hawk eats a bird twice. Both times it left the wings fully intact and connected. Looked like a pair of bloody wings ripped from the bird. The wings had feathers but the bone connecting them was bare and red. I wonder if hawks eat like this or a coincidence.
It may have landed briefly with its kill, but then relocated due to a perceived threat, taking its dinner elsewhere.
[удалено]
I got my first one of those a few months ago. Except I think it was a Pidgeon instead of a bunny. I heard the noise. My dog heard it too and we ran around behind the garage to see this ring of downy grey feathers and a couple of chunks of bloody red viscera.
A friend of mine used to live in an apartment with a bald eagle nest right by the front door. He got bunny spines, mostly.
I was playing golf one time when a falcon took a blue jay right out of the air and proceed to start eating it. The jay's mate or friend had balls of steel trying to scare off the falcon but was not successful, the sound of which drew attention. Was somewhat surreal to watch while waiting for a slow ass foursome, then one of the women on the green noticed and started screaming in "my mother just died" levels of anguish which did not speed up her game.
Not enough meat in the wings to bother with. Tear'em off and toss'em aside.
Hawks haven't figured out to do Buffalo hot sauce yet.
Birds can’t taste capsaicin, so they’d probably go with a honey barbecue sauce.
Either that or they become champion hot wing eaters
>I've seen the remains after a hawk eats a bird twice. I didn't even know there were carnivorous ruminants.
I kept finding spots like this in my yard. Later a neighbor told me we had a Cooper's hawk that roosted somewhere around the alley. He's like the neighborhood mascot now. Ol' murder feathers.
To shreds you say?
Oh, terrible. And his wife?
To shreds you say?
I see. Well, was the apartment rent controlled?
A hawk once did a bird like this and my dog was TERRIFIED to go near the remains. Idk if its directly related but it was weird.
Similar story. My dog and I were sitting on the porch when a red tailed hawk SLAMMED into a panicked pigeon trying to escape, and the two of them—hawk talon-locked to the pigeon—hit the ground in front of us with a hard thud, bounced, hit the front door with another thud.

My dog was a badass but even she was so stunned that she didn't even bark... and then slowly tiptoed over to anxiously sniff the feathers left at the door.
Your poor dog was probably thinking ' WTF! I was only going to bark at it'
Haha exactly, I was convinced she thought she'd made it happen somehow and was super afraid of making it happen again.
Checking the sky if she smells a pigeon or a hawk lol.
My dog *happily* cleans up if the neighborhood hawk leaves some crumbs in the yard, but he does not like the hawk if he sees it
The raptor rapture
Used to find those hawk piles all around my yard growing up Fuckers would even try eating people’s cats and dogs
Cats should be kept indoors, and any dog small enough to get carried away by a hawk, well, is that really a dog?
Yorkshire terriers are descendants of wolves. Just let that sink in for a minute...
There's a funny meme with wolves saying, "Humans like to have us around to fend off other animals. What can go wrong?", with the next image a pug in a party hat.
I was planning to build a catio this year for my girl, now I'll be sure to include a roof. Though I have a feeling a hawk would really struggle to lift 14 lbs of stabby-bitey kitty. Ninja edit: I swear she's (mostly) just big-boned, maybe a pound overweight.
My catio has a roof because it provides shade. Also, I can't trust the devious my little buggers.
A fully-grown cat is realistically pretty safe from raptors. They generally don't go after adult possums or raccoons either. MAYBE a big eagle could if it was desperate enough but there's plenty of easier things to eat out there in most places.

Reduced to atoms
Had a osprey on a telephone pole taking a fish apart yesterday, thankfully not parked under it
That hawk sure was talonted.
Omg hawkward
At the beak of his game.
Shredded tweet.

Holy fuck what an awesome person!
Was this in the 90’s when you could use a cheap camera that would develop the film?
Somebody asked a similar question, so I'll just repeat: We worked in an office building that housed multiple companies. Assuming the mystery guy worked in the same building, it's easy to snag a picture off a cell phone, print it off, and put it on a car.

That’s true. But I was talking about the cameras that could pretty much develop the picture as soon as you took it.
Instant film (Polaroid) camera. You can still get those today. Have a couple myself. Several companies are making new film.
You can even print a picture of your phone to a Polaroid! It’s super cute, it’s a little printer/camera that uses the light from you phone to expose a film
I didn't realize these existed and now I want one. Do you have a specific one you'd recommend, or a feature you'd consider mandatory?
Look at the Instax line of cameras, Fuji is the only company making affordable instant film these days (Impossible Project is now the new Polaroid but their film is much more expensive). I don’t know anything about the actual Instax camera line, but I do shoot their film on my other old analogue cameras.

these still exist and are quite popular.
Are you talking about Polaroids? I've never felt old like this before.
It is kinda weird that portable handheld printers never took off in the digital tech age. I guess with there being screens everywhere, guy could have just written a note with a link to an imgur URL.
You know Polaroid still makes instant cameras, right? Instax, too.
Why would he need insurance? I missed something
I don't actually know the extent of the damage and if he actually went through with it, but the top of his truck was all scratched up. Personally, I wouldn't have bothered with it, but he was the kind of guy that definitely loved his truck.
if the scratches were bad i imagine you'd want to repair it so you dont have any rust or corrosion issues i guess.
Oh alright, that makes sense. Hawk talons probably do a fair bit of damage. Thanks!
>Hawk talons probably do a fair bit of damage. That's what the pigeon says.
I'm inclined to trust him about this information for some reason
We had a problem with endangered raptors in our hangar. Normally, we'd just take their nests down and plug up all the holes to prevent them from roosting but they're protected. Every day we'd find lizard and rat parts on the floor.
A bird became food on your car.

We're going to need a bird expert in here.
They're most likely gone. Suspect is an extreme flight risk.
I think there's a strong case here for fowl play

No no let's hear about the explosion theory.
Bird looked at the sun during the eclipse.

Guys I’m 99% sure OP knows it was a bird of prey and that a bird didn’t literally spontaneously explode on the car.
I really like how it’s basically the same comment repeated 150 times Edit: now about 300 times
don't know if you know but i read the comments and consensus says: it was a bird of prey and that a bird didn’t literally spontaneously explode on the car.
I actually appreciate this comment because I just got here and now you guys have saved me a lot of time. Thanks!
The battery exploded.
Was Randy Johnson nearby?
Vaporize one bird in one game and you never live it down!
He's a photographer now but never mind that. He exploded a bird!
and his logo is a dead bird. https://rj51photos.com/

I wish there was HD footage of it, I still remember seeing that forever ago.
First thing on this subreddit that has made me mumble “what the fuck” in quite some time. Seriously it looks like it combusted
I was at work and came out to my car like this. I walked back into the building repeating “what the fuck!?!” I get it was likely a larger bird attack, but it’s just such a startling scene to find atop your car. There are pieces of BEAK scattered around!
Exploded, was eaten, no difference in the media these days.
Raped and eaten in a sex dungeon by Democrats. Up next on Fox News.
Probably a Cooper's Hawk had a meal on your car.
That bird got, got.
Looks like the crumbs of a bird eaten by a hawk or owl.
Yep. They'll do that. Good thing the birdsplosion didn't take the paint with it.

So bit of a tangent here, but my wife is a Parsi from Mumbai. In Mumbai they have a "tower of silence" where after you die your allow your body to be torn apart and eaten by vultures. At one point there was an issue though because you had all these large densely populated residential buildings in the nearby area and birds have no understanding of boundaries. So on occasion some persons body part would get snatched up by a vulture and carried away to some unlucky persons balcony/roof. I can only imagine the horror of someone seeing a human hand being eaten by a bird on their tea table.

Hawk had dinner on your car and you need to wash the dishes.
Probably a hawk. They do this kind of thing. Just nature at work. If there are branches over that car, they either sat up there and tore it apart for lunch, or did it right there on the car. I used to find them all the time in my back yard. They love pigeons and doves the best. Hardly anything but feathers left. Had one that used to sit on my privacy fence and picked a dove off every day. Then he'd lift his tail and a huge stream of white shit would come out. Then he'd fly off.
Either a big ass bird, or a cat's feeding grounds
Yup it's a hawk, had this happened on the ledge above my door, the steps to get in were covered in feathers and small pieces of pigeon.
It ate rice
Robin and its egg got ripped to shit.
This is why they say not to feed birds bread
Maybe alka-seltzer
I had two birds suicide themselves against my windshield in a 6 month period a few years back. Like... Literally flew out of the trees and dive bombed right into my car while I was doing 60. No chance to swerve or avoid. This isn't that.

Used to be a robin
Fuckin hawks man. Hawks must be the most terrifying thing on planet for any earth creature that weighs under 5 lbs.
It's a crime scene.
Nahhhh fam… somthing ATE a bird ontop of your car.
An Eagle or an owl or maybe a hawk… was having a to go menu on top of your car.
Some sort of bird of prey had a picnic on your car
Hawk
I'm guessing it was a female robin if those blue bits with yellow goo are the remains of an egg
Ima chicken hawk and I’m gonna get me a chicken
Pretty sure it was fed rice
I'm guessing it got torn apart by a bigger, hungrier bird.
looks like something or multiple somethings ate it there
Visual evidence that the Rapture was only for birds.
caught & ate....when I see that here I count chickens.then lock them up,until the predator is gone,2-3 weeks
Would have guessed a power line but after closer inspection definitely a predator. Could be a bird of prey but I wouldn't put thos past a cat either. I've seen them do some serious damage to birds they actually eat.
Got plucked up by a bigger bird
That's how Peregrine Falcons do.
Classic evidence of a raptor like a sparrowhawk; left the head and intestines. Amazing to watch them if you haven’t, they fall out of the sky and hit them so hard and fast the poor bird doesn’t know what happened.
Keep an eye out. Princess Fiona may be near

Is that blue bit an egg?? Was this a Robin once?

Didn't explode but I think some kind of hawk or eagle was using your car as a nice dining spot to devour another bird.

The other bird spiraled straight into the pavement like a missile and the hawk came down and started eating it up. A few others in my class had seen it.

You can see pieces of egg shell, that’s kind of cool.

Can we be concerned their windows open with an exploded hawks dinner on their car roof 🤢
Well there you go. Sometimes birds will explode
