Falcons are carnivorous predators known for their hunting skills. However, they mainly hunt small prey that is easy to kill and carry. Some of the most common hawk prey include rodents, small reptiles, and birds. But in certain circumstances, hawks also attempt to prey on prey larger than themselves, such as turkeys. Despite a turkey's larger stature, there are reports of hawks attacking unsuspecting turkeys. However, the most common victims are young turkeys, or poults, that have not yet learned to be wary of predators. Although falcons are very strong birds, they are not built to carry large prey. A turkey, on the other hand, can weigh more than 10 pounds. So while a hawk could technically catch a turkey, it probably couldn't fly with it. Additionally, turkeys are generally quite adept at defending themselves. They have powerful legs and sharp claws that can cause serious injury and even kill a hawk. As shown in this video, which shows the moment a turkey was seen catching a hawk and giving it a real beating. The turkey is much heavier and much larger than the hawk, and the predator fell when it was first attacked and then was hit in all sorts of ways. The hawk expected to have lunch with a large turkey, but in reality all he managed to do was lose his life in this incredible battle.
