Brilliant defense mechanism. The hawks can’t get you if you’re under a tree.

This is so cool!!!

Chickens are so underrated, I love them

The person in the video calling them idiots is silly, the sound they (the person) made is nearly identical to the very specific call chickens use when spotting an aerial predator in pursuit. The immediate reaction to the “hawk!” call is, of course, to seek cover. Being that alert and that reactive to that sound is what keeps them alive (and why having cover is so, so important for poultry.)

That said, I did have a beloved hen who, when annoyed because there were too many other birds around the feeder/waterer for her to shove through, learned to make her “hawk!” call, which would send them all scurrying for cover and she could eat and drink in peace.
