I'm a people, and I get a chuckle out of people who are not bird people. So I am going to tell you a tale about some not bird people who found a hawk.
I was walking with my vet friend when he got a call on his cell. The people had found a HUGE hawk in their yard and it had a broken wing. They were worried its GIANT beak would bite one of their children so they asked him what to do with it. He has a license to handle wild birds, so he told them to bring him by.
It looked about like this, but was more grey. This is the size of bird.

The beak was not very big at all, and the bird was a bit smaller than Benny Bat Too. I realize that to them it was a very big bird, but dealing with the ones I handle everyday, it gave me a little chuckle...
