I was nine, I found a hawk wounded under the powerlines near my home. I went to the hawk and covered it with my jacket then started home, carrying the hawk and talking softly to it.\n On my way home an old man, Mr. Mills saw me and wondered why I was talking to my jacket so he came over and checked it out.\nHe took me and the hawk home and told my mom he was going to take us both to the vet. We went to the vet and got help for the bird.\nI never will forget what Mr. Mills told me as we were coming home from the vet and the Department of Wildlife.\nHe said " Any young man who cares more for an animal than the cold, is worth having as a friend and I'm proud to count you as one of mine." \n I know it seems like a simple thing, especially now that I'm older, but Mr. Mills made me a rancher and taught me about wildlife. he made a real mark in my life.

I think he's sunbathing.  He will probably go somewhere and preen afterwards. I believe it not only helps get rid of mites but they also get some vitamin D from the action of the sun on the oils on their feathers.\n\nI have seen blackbirds spreadeagled on the ground doing this - eyes half closed, beaks open. You think that they are sick or something and then you realise it's a kind of ecstasy!\n\n\nThey will also sit on an ants nest and let the ants crawl into their feathers. Some people say they actually like the ant bites (or the formic acid) - kind of like an antiseptic, perhaps.\n\nIf you can provide a birdbath (just a shallow dish of water, kept replenished), he will enjoy that too.\n\nI finally found a picture!

When the bird becomes mature, most likely. Animals grow stronger as they grow older till they attain their "mid-life" and that's when the immune system is the strongest, I guess.

Some penguins mate for life, while others for just one season. They generally raise a small brood, and the parents cooperate in caring for the clutch and for the young. During the cold season on the other hand the mates separate for several months to protect the egg. The male stays with the egg and keeps it warm, and the female goes out to sea and finds food so that when it comes home, the baby will have food to eat. Once the female comes back, they switch.

Birds don't produce milk, so they can't digest it.  Parent birds regurgitate food for their babies, so the babies get a partially digested paste of whatever the parents have been eating.  This varies according to what kind of bird it is.  There is a good commercially produced hand-feeding formula for seed-eating birds, but it won't provide proper nutrition for birds that eat anything else, and improper feeding can kill a bird just as quickly as not feeding it at all.\nThe best thing to do with any baby wild animal you find is to leave it where it is.  The parents will usually come back for it.  If they don't, find a wildlife rehabilitation center in your area and take it to them as soon as possible, being sure to keep it warm on the way.\nLots of well-meaning people pick up babies they think are orphaned or abandoned, and many of those babies don't survive even the best attempts to raise them.  Please keep that in mind before you pick up any animal you find!

The Harpies were sisters of Iris, daughters of Electra and Thaumas. Hesiod (Theogony) calls them two "lovely-haired" creatures.\n\nPhineas, a king of Thrace, had the gift of prophesy. Zeus, angry that Phineas revealed too much, punished him by putting him on an island with a buffet of food which he could never eat. The Harpies always arrived and stole the food out of his hands right before he could satisfy his hunger. This continued until the arrival of Jason and the Argonauts. The Boreads, who also could fly, succeeded in driving the Harpies away but did not kill them, as a request from the goddess of the rainbow, Iris, who promised that Phineas would not be bothered by the Harpies again. Thankful for their help, Phineas told the Argonauts how to pass the Symplegades. (Ovid XIII, 710; Virgil III, 211, 245).\n\nThe basic version of this myth, as it was retold, added details not found in earlier versions: namely, that the Harpies did not just take the food away but befouled it so it was inedible. They were soon thought as spreaders of filth and disease, gaining their more famous monstrous appearance as well.\n\nIn this form they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus. They were vicious, cruel and violent. They lived on Strophades. They were usually seen as the personifications of the destructive nature of wind. The Harpies in this tradition, now thought of as four sisters instead of the original two, were: Aello ("storm swift"), Celaeno ("the dark") — also known as Podarge ("fleet-foot") — and Ocypete ("the swift wing").\n\nAeneas encountered Harpies on the Strophades as they repeatedly made off with the feast the Trojans were setting. Celaeno cursed them, saying the Trojans will be so hungry they will eat their tables before they reach the end of their journey. The Trojans fled in fear.

I believe they carry them back to the nest where they are eaten for nourishment. To them its just protein and its much easier to come by

There are any number of large, terrestrial hunters that will gladly eat a hawk, falcon or eagle if given the opportunity.  Cougars, wolves, bears, leopards, jaguars, hyaenas, and even reptiles like crocodiles will eat them if they can.\n\nThe raptors avoid these predators through the power of flight.  Because of their size, it is not easy for other predatory birds to eat hawks, eagles and falcons.  They're pretty much the top of the chain.  While an eagle might be bigger than a falcon, the falcon is faster and more maneuverable.  The same factor would come into play if there was a massively huge bird that was of sufficient strength to take down an eagle.  A bird that big would be too slow, and it would be easy for the eagle to out-maneuver it.\n\nIt should be noted that large falcons (gyrfalcons, peregrine) will sometimes eat small falcons (kestrels, merlins).

Old World Vultures uses sight to find carrion and they also follow large predators to their kill, such as cheetahs and lions.  Only two species of New World vultures uses smell as well as sight to find food.  They are the turkey and the king vulture.

Check if the bird is caring for chicks.  In some species male or female sit on top of their chicks to protect them from predators, while his/her mate brings food.  Some species alternate .  If not, it might be wounded, hatching a dead egg or another number of reasons.  Probably caring for chicks though.

Well mammals hold their young in their wombs for a time (fetus development.....you should know you're a mammal) Females breast feed their young, they mother them, and basically show them the basic instincts they would need to surivie alone. But, all this depends on which mammal you are asking on-some mothers don't do all this with their young

I found a magpie nest with three large babies in it and the nest had no roof, so I have no Idea, but not all members of the species must build them. I would guess though that it provides protection from the elements, and provides shade when the parents are foraging. Some other species such as orioles and cliff swallows build enclosed nest, although I dont know of any corvids that do.

The African Lion.   They live in large family groups called Prides.   These usually consist of a male that leads the group and has almost exclusive breeding rights with the various females in the group, and several, younger males that are not yet old enough to be a threat to his position.   when they reach that age they are usually driven out and live on their won until they can find a rpide of their own.   Most often it is the famles of the group that do the hunting, although the males are more than capable when required so to do.   It was this pride structure that added to the mystique and power of hte species and was part of how they came to be called the King of Beasts.
