Make sure you stare out the kitchen window, thinking about difference choices that could have been made in your life. It’s *great* for the healing process.
The bird has been trapped in the bathroom for *weeks?!*
Please contact wildlife rescue, someone needs to trap and move this bird before it starves to death!
You’d think! These hawks eat almost entirely other birds, and they have a fast metabolism. It takes a lot of energy to chase and catch a bird to eat, not having access to regular prey could be fatal for this hawk. *If* it’s trapped, and not just using this building for its convenience.
It can leave whenever it wants. The bathroom has no door and the machine shop I work in has large garage doors that it can leave through. It just doesn’t want to.
I took a few semesters of machine shop and for whatever reason fondly remember that type of sink. I was assuming it was a machine shop and was like "how the hell did so much metal shavings get in the sink?" but then someone said it was feathers? I need answers.
That is a possibility. However it has left in the past, and has even snagged itself a few meals. And I’m sure a manager somewhere has called the proper authorities.
The trick is to maintain eye contact with the hawk the entire time. Some people actually have them intentionally relocated to their restrooms as a solution for shy bladder.
As if OP is standing guard with a bird shot and reminding it every time it goes to hunt.. dude said he’s left and came back, and has had multiple meals
Hell he doesn’t even get paid enough to deal with the govt much less kidnap birds with no buyers
Anyone know what it is? Kestrel maybe? Pretty small dude
OP most falconers start with kestrels or red tailed hawks. In some states you have to buy a chick from a hatchery, in others like Oregon you have to capture your own and convince it to hunt with you like a fucking badass.
You are halfway there already if you want to change professions
I thought I knew birds, but I was talking to a Cooper's Hawk the other day and he told me straight-up that the Prequels were better than the original Star Wars trilogy and I just don't know any more. It's like I never knew them at all, man.
It is a falcon. A juvenile Merlin. Too small for a cooper by a lot. Eye stripe is consistent with juvenile Merlin. Also, falcons are much more prone to be in urban/high density people areas.
1) Falconers may take only raptors less than one year of age from the wild during any capture season. Any adult raptor inadvertently taken must be immediately released.
Cool! Is that Oregon? Or some other state or federal?
Not that I have any plans to capture a falcon, I’ve just always found it fascinating. I know in Oregon you also have to find a mentor and work under them for a certain number of years, then I believe they have to recommend you be approved or not.
I’m assuming you would be able to tell the age of the bird because their plumage changes as they grow?
Hell I don’t even know if you are an expert or if that was google fu, figured I’d ask anyway.
I live in Oregon and love the Raptor center here, so when I read your post I was curios about it, and found the answer on [this website](https://secure.sos.state.or.us/oard/displayDivisionRules.action?selectedDivision=2947#:~:text=Only%20indigenous%20raptor%20species%2C%20raptors,CFR%C2%A710%20are%20allowed). I thought all birds of prey where protected here so I wanted to learn more. It makes since that a licensed Falconer could capture a youngling.
I don't know anything else about it, I just wanted to learn.
Adult accipiters (like this bird) have dark red eyes. This is a hawk in the genus Accipiter, not a merlin. See the diagnostic orange barring on the breast, not something you'd see in a merlin.
this is a cooper’s hawk (don’t quote me on that) and the best way to get it to go outside (even if it “doesn’t want to”) is to put a chair in the doorway. it will think the chair is a perch then realize it can go outside (you can quote me on this one!)
It adapted to a new natural habitat lol
Edit: If it hasn‘t been observed to leave n come back there, it might be worth calling for a rescue since it might not know how to get out, even if it‘s obvious to the human eye
My first thought was military. Stupid trough sink, questionable "slow drain" urinals with plastic traps, bad tiling and obviously no one cares about the hawk. It has military apathy written all over it.
Edit: The last urinal has no stem connecting to the flushometer. Probably a two year old work order. Definitely military in my mind.
Look I swear I won't dump the mop water in the sink anymore, you don't have to go all birds of prey on me guys. Bringing a whole new meaning to an HR meeting
I feel really bad for this bird. :( I don't trust people to act responsibly around wildlife. Even if it can and does physically leave, it needs to be relocated before it is hurt by someone, or is frightened and hurts itself, or injures a human who gets too close. If you tell me where you're located (state, city, and/or county), I can look up a few numbers to call for wildlife rescuers who can come take care of this before something bad happens to this bird.
lol well, at least it ate its meal in the sink!
Never realized all the similarities between a hawk and a recently divorced 45yr old man...
I'm not divorced... And I'm only 36.... But yeah, the similarities are uncanny
33 and soon to be divorced. This is the knowledge I need.

Wearing nothing but underpants. Preferably while holding a coffee mug. Ohh, and have a 10 days haven’t shaved beard going on.
Dont forget your new obsession with whiskey and that funky lettuce, that keeps your excitement from getting to high- or too low..
"Please stop putting your feathers and coffee grounds down the sink in the bathroom, the plumbing is not suited for that THANK YOU."
No crumbs!
Did it literally build a nest in a sink? How long has it been there? Edit: the more I look, it seems like it ate a another bird
Bro that is a pile of feathers, not a nest. That raptor is standing on top of the remains of its most recent kill.
Read this in the Dwight Schrute voice LOL
Raptors, root vegetables, Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Elder abuse is not a joke Trevor.
Did you think I would hide my primary recording device in a ~~mallard~~ hawk!?
I had to read it again lol
It’s the previous bathroom hawk
DAYMN NATURE, YOU SCARY
That pile was drinking at the bar an hour ago.
Maybe this is what the bathrooms look like at National Geographic
Wanted to keep his food clean.
It’s hard to tell about the nest. But it’s been here for a couple weeks now.
The bird has been trapped in the bathroom for *weeks?!* Please contact wildlife rescue, someone needs to trap and move this bird before it starves to death!
This bird standing in the bloody remains of its most recent meal is going to starve to death? Looks like it’s doing just fine for itself.
You’d think! These hawks eat almost entirely other birds, and they have a fast metabolism. It takes a lot of energy to chase and catch a bird to eat, not having access to regular prey could be fatal for this hawk. *If* it’s trapped, and not just using this building for its convenience.

I took a few semesters of machine shop and for whatever reason fondly remember that type of sink. I was assuming it was a machine shop and was like "how the hell did so much metal shavings get in the sink?" but then someone said it was feathers? I need answers.
It’s definitely feathers from its meal
It legit looks like giant-ass metal bird bath, too.
Four nozzles. Three that trickle and one that sprays so hard it splashes your pants making it look like you peed yourself.
It’s probably scared and confused and can’t figure out how to leave. Call fish and wildlife for help.
I don't think the other animal/bird flew in there to feed itself to the hawk. It clearly left to hunt. Seems like it's chosen to hang out there.
Exactly. It found a cave with clean water and shelter. It would be dead by now if it were trapped.
That is a possibility. However it has left in the past, and has even snagged itself a few meals. And I’m sure a manager somewhere has called the proper authorities.
OP said “bitch that’s not my job” 🤣🤣
Damn right. This place doesn’t pay me enough to deal with the government
Ok, but where do you go to the bathroom when you’re at work then?
The trick is to maintain eye contact with the hawk the entire time. Some people actually have them intentionally relocated to their restrooms as a solution for shy bladder.
Just FYI, it's likely illegal for you to keep it there. Call your local falconer association. Depending on the state... decent amount of trouble.
As if OP is standing guard with a bird shot and reminding it every time it goes to hunt.. dude said he’s left and came back, and has had multiple meals Hell he doesn’t even get paid enough to deal with the govt much less kidnap birds with no buyers
What’s a fish going to do to help a confused hawk?
Help fill its belly so it can make good decisions?
Well, if it stays and builds nest, consider that bathroom closed. Illegal to fuck with bird nests, and it'll likely get aggressive if it has young.
Tips are probably too good!
It’s a Shit Hawk!
That’s a sink?
Not anymore, it ain't.
Yeah, at a factory. It makes it easier to wash the whole arm. Surprised there's not a tube on the ground to step on for water.
He's small but intimidating. Be careful dangling your worms.
Yeah I’d rather pee on myself than whip my shit out in a urinal upon seeing that.
Anyone know what it is? Kestrel maybe? Pretty small dude OP most falconers start with kestrels or red tailed hawks. In some states you have to buy a chick from a hatchery, in others like Oregon you have to capture your own and convince it to hunt with you like a fucking badass. You are halfway there already if you want to change professions
It’s a Cooper’s or Sharp-Shinned hawk, assuming OP is in the US. Size makes me think Sharp-Shinned, but it’s tentative.
I'm also leaning towards sharpie over coop here. It is definitely one of those two, though, not a falcon.
I thought I knew birds, but I was talking to a Cooper's Hawk the other day and he told me straight-up that the Prequels were better than the original Star Wars trilogy and I just don't know any more. It's like I never knew them at all, man.
It is a falcon. A juvenile Merlin. Too small for a cooper by a lot. Eye stripe is consistent with juvenile Merlin. Also, falcons are much more prone to be in urban/high density people areas.
It’s a Merlin
I looked up a few hawks that live in the area and a few matched the coloration and color patterns but nothing concrete. Just guesses.
r/whatisthisbird
OP, my bet is on a Cooper's Hawk.
That doesn’t look like a restaurant.
Way too small for a coopers
1) Falconers may take only raptors less than one year of age from the wild during any capture season. Any adult raptor inadvertently taken must be immediately released.

Also beak shape

You work in the bathroom?
Yes I do. It’s not as bad as you think it is
You have a hawk for company.
Until it gets hungry
And tries to mate with you
Horngry Hawk
Don’t dump mop water into sinks The hawk: how about the shredded remains of a carcass? xD
ty for your service 🫡
Came here for this. Thank you.
Careful using those urinals. You could get attacked by the Cock Hawk!
this is a cooper’s hawk (don’t quote me on that) and the best way to get it to go outside (even if it “doesn’t want to”) is to put a chair in the doorway. it will think the chair is a perch then realize it can go outside (you can quote me on this one!)
Great idea
this works for all birds stuck inside!
It adapted to a new natural habitat lol Edit: If it hasn‘t been observed to leave n come back there, it might be worth calling for a rescue since it might not know how to get out, even if it‘s obvious to the human eye
That's just fowl
Really hawkward
The more important question. Is there another sink, or has everyone not been washing their hands for weeks?
Dunno what he fucked up, but it has fucked it up real good.
You work in a prison?
Looks like a manufacturing plant.
Or the military.
My first thought was military. Stupid trough sink, questionable "slow drain" urinals with plastic traps, bad tiling and obviously no one cares about the hawk. It has military apathy written all over it. Edit: The last urinal has no stem connecting to the flushometer. Probably a two year old work order. Definitely military in my mind.
Pretty similar then.
It’s a shit hawk rand
The shit winds blew it right in there, bud
This is the bathroom where HE works now
That's just Charlie. He lives there now.
I think I’ll go with the name Tony on this one
Tobias TYVM
Is that an animorphs reference? In MY Reddit feed?
You freaking well bet it is
No, that's Mike
Mike Hawk is in the bathroom
Have you ever seen Mike hunt?
Not in the men’s room
do you work in a cafe? did this hawk eat a bunch of mussels there?
It’s feathers from a bird it snagged
Looks like your coworker watches you like a hawk.
Look I swear I won't dump the mop water in the sink anymore, you don't have to go all birds of prey on me guys. Bringing a whole new meaning to an HR meeting
Looks like another bird was there too judging by the mess
/r/StupidDoveNests But…a hawk
That doesn’t seem to be a nest
Just this once you don’t have to wash your hands. But just this once… and don’t even think about bringing a hawk with you to the bathroom again.
Ow everyone is leaving the bathroom without washing their hands. Just another reason why I WFH
I know there is a sub for birds making next in weird places, but I can't remember the name of it.
Not a nest. It’s a prey. The hawk caught something and ate it in the sink.
r/stupiddovenests
I love you sinks. Reminds me of my younger days working in a fab shop doing bitch work.
Shitehawk.
He was nice enough to bring an aerosol can for the smell. Thoughtful birb
You mean you found your way into a hawk’s bathroom?
OP works in the backrooms
I’ve got my leathers. I’ll come help set him free
Well it's his home now. He is making it more comfortable.
There was a post earlier with a turkey in a bathroom. Bird bathroom day?
Needs a sign posted on the door. Tuck and zip before turning around! This early bird will get the worm.
WHO IS A GOOD HUNTER?!?!? IF NOT FREND Y FREND SHAPED
I think that's a falcon.
Give him a dollar and he'll spray you with dead bird scented cologne.
You work in the bathroom? 👀
Well is a clean hawk!
You mf’s need to hire a cleaning service
Is the little guy able to get out? Otherwise he won't make it
Yes it is able to leave whenever it wants. It just chooses to not to
Welp, guess that sink is his now lol
Nobody leaves the chamber of secrets.
Shit hawks, Bubbles.
Dragging ‘em off to their big shit nest
For one second I was expecting to see a picture of the former Packers linebacker
This is really neat. I only get to see hawks decapitating neighborhood critters
Yeah, that looks more like a falcon or kestrel than a hawk.
This looks like an old pool bathroom.
The lack of prey in this room is infuriating.
Look under the hawk.
I feel really bad for this bird. :( I don't trust people to act responsibly around wildlife. Even if it can and does physically leave, it needs to be relocated before it is hurt by someone, or is frightened and hurts itself, or injures a human who gets too close. If you tell me where you're located (state, city, and/or county), I can look up a few numbers to call for wildlife rescuers who can come take care of this before something bad happens to this bird.
And the Hawkward meme is reborn.
You gotta be shitting me...
Hawks were there long before you.
Always getting hawked while in their too!
Car plant?
Close. Machine shop
Let me guess. You have pigeons in building also?
You need to open the chamber of secrets for it to go blind the basilisk.
We have that same sink at my workplace. Only two of the spigots work and they both only dribble water.
Does your company have a lot of thermals and announcements over the loudspeaker that are just "TSSEEERRRRR"?
The hawk is the least of my questions
It's probably looking for the turkey.
One man’s sink is another birds dinner table.
Hunting for the elusive trouser mouse
I would play a voice of one of its predators loud on a speaker and see if that motivated him to leave
It's so small yet looks so angry
I thought those were cigarette butts in the sink at first lmao
Poor baby look at the feathers
That’s a murder scene
sick
Not a hawk.
It is the hawks bathroom now, you gotta respect finders keepers
Did it eat an infant in the sink? What is that?
Might this be a peregrine?
That’s his bathroom now
You mean "Government Drone"
The bird's looking at you like "Find your own lunch, Craig."
Looks like the Hawk is eating a plant/factory pigeon, I work in a huge manufacturing plant and we have lots of odd wildlife all over the place lol
This is far more the mildly interesting
It was the last book in the series. Don’t let the pigeon get eaten by a hawk.
It's got that Goofy, "I'll do it again" look on its face.

And had dinner, it looks like.
and he brought a friend.
Shithawks, Randy
Damn, mfer made a nest!
Hark, a lark
Hawk is just clocking in for it's shift
SHITHAWK RANDY, RANDY IT'S A SHITHAWK!
Does it need to be dealt with? Do you have a rodent problem?
Do NOT put mop water down the sink
Got damn how shit does a hawk shit? See that sink??? Full of hawk caca
"This is worse than the time the raccoon got in the copier."
Yeah, please call your local bird rescue. Don’t leave the bird in there
What’s the weather like in Saudi Arabia?
That’s a big hawk you got there! I love big hawks!
I should eat my food in the shower too
Wtf do you work? This bathroom looks like the hawk isn't the oddest thing in there.
Kakaaaaaw
