So how long does it take for a hawk to kill a duck, longer than 8 minutes. The hawk started eating him before he was dead. I took his lifeless body into the house to die warm, comfortable and loved. It took several days but after the swelling in his neck went down he made a full recovery. A falconer said this hawk was a juvenile. If it had been a full grown hawk the duck would be dead.

What a horrific thing!

I am relieved that he made it.

How awful where you home when this happened? So happy to hear he made it.

I couldn't even watch it all.

Those poor ducks have no where to hide from predators....literally "sitting ducks".

I was planning to write a condolence note; what a wonderful and surprising ending to the story. Kudos to you for taking your baby inside, and kudos to him for proving that life is worth fighting for, even in you are "just" a duck.

Same here, I was so happy to find out that he made a full recovery.

Birds are so tough. They never cease to amaze me. How is Cheese now? Pic of his recovered self?

Side note, the dude at the end of the video has a mouth just like me when I see something going for my birds!
