Is Bitchy Ok?

[jabbronies]

A co-worker just saw a hawk land on our patio - at King and Spadina...Probably not Bitchy, but, a hawk in downtown Toronto is pretty fucked up. And Bitchy is the only one I kow in the area/

[Troll]

Hawk? in Toronto? ZOMG, no way?!

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Bitchy is pissed!! HE WANTS A GRASS PITCH!

It's a her. Unless she got a sex change and didn't tell me. Damnit Bitchy.

There are tons of Hawks downtown. A few hang out on top of scotia. There is a nest somewhere up there. Maybe one of them?

[Carts]

Bitchy finally saw the game from Houston... It killed her will to live...

Carts...

I have a family of hawks that swirl around my condo at Eglinton and Don Mills…

Hey I just saw a collie at richmond and Yonge, do you think Lassie is ok, or did she fall down a well too?

That hawk has been there for a bit now. I work at Front and Spadina and last week it was hangin out at the Shell gas station.

[rocker]

I heard Bitchy was traded for the Benfica Hawk.

[james]

ya you would be suprised how many hawks there are in downtown Toronto.

There is a family of hawks living at Queen's Park on the main building!

[Cambridge_Red]

LOL city slickers!

Hawks in Toronto/southern Ontario are completely normal.

I believe Bitchy is a captive hawk who is brought in for games (i.e. she doesn't actually live at BMO field - which is good because she would undoubtedly complain about the high concession prices, if she did.). It is common for raptors to be used as part of an urban pest control strategy. In other words, she's a working bird.

Awww. I never saw a hawk near there today. Just a hobo and a drunk guy. :(

I think it's great, what might they be feeding on though?! My concern would be garbage?

Fuck, maybe it's Bitchy down a well and Lassie has to go and save her!

The mystery continues.....

Hawks typically eat rodents, small birds and pigeons.

...hmmm, good idea.... and then start Bitchy in his place! Her and Danny would be unbeatable up front

they should've added Cunningham to that deal

Lots of squirrels and pidgeons in the park.

Ummm folks? Bitchy is a falcon. Not a hawk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk (smaller more common)

^^^^^ Boooooooo, way to ruin the fun and get all Jack Hanna on us

I was wondering myself which raptor people were actually talking about. Falcons are quite common in Southern Ontario. When I was living in London I'd sit at the outside patio at the Scot's Corner and watch Peregrine Falcons nesting at the TD building fly over the downtown core.

[Daveisonfire]

Why has she been called "Bitchy the Hawk" by so many??
Yikes!

[cmonureds]

I thought that Bitchy was introduced as a Harris Hawk?

[Ron Manager]

Bitchy is a Harris Hawk.

[CoachGT]

FYI, Walmart in Newmarket is selling plastic, life size hawks standing on a fencepost for about $20. I thought that by putting one up in the yard between my RPB and TFC flags would be appropriate!

[ExiledRed]

Bitchy is a Harris Hawk.

Which is definitely a Hawk and not a Falcon, hence the term, 'Harris Hawk'

Where'd this fallacy about her being a mere falcon arise?

[yellowfellow]

This majestic creature was rescued today by Toronto Humane Society (THS) wildlife staff. A concerned citizen called in after seeing the hawk stumbling around on King St. in downtown Toronto.

The hawk seemed very disoriented and was not able to fly. He was jumping on top of cars, and hanging from branches, he seemed very incoherent.

After gently placing a towel over his head, THS wildlife staff brought him back to our wildlife sanctuary, where he was given a full checkup. After completing blood work and X-Rays, this gorgeous creature was given a clean bill of health. THS wildlife staff believe that he likely had flown into a window downtown and hit his head giving him a mild concussion, hence his disorientation.

After making a speedy recovery THS wildlife staff have now released this incredible bird back to the wild so he can return to the skies where he belongs! The hawk was released on the Leslie Street Spit, a perfect natural habitat for this beautiful creature.

Damn! Maybe we should call in THS to check out Danny Dichio! :p

[pekduck]

^ only if Danny Dichio ran into a window head first....

[billyfly]

I still think Winfield would have been such a better name. (sigh)

[James17930]

Speaking of Bitchy -- I haven't heard anything about her lately.

She still there during games? Is all still cool with the Bitch?

[nfitz]

There was a bird perched up there on Sunday during the game.

Maybe they could put those on the railing at the top of the east side of BMO. I thought this thread was going to be about how there are more seagulls at the games lately. :frown:

[TFC Cityboy]

yeah they are taking the piss outta Bitchy!
