In the early 2000s I worked at a company that had a small central courtyard in the middle of the building. All four sides of the courtyard were three or more stories high.
Pigeons used to congregate in the courtyard and pick for crumbs.
One day, a huge hawk came down and snatched himself a big fat pigeon.
He sat there for most of an hour picking at this bird. When he finally went to leave he couldn’t clear the lowest wall.
We called animal control, they said if he’s still there in 2 days let us know.
He crapped all over the place and by the end of day to was able to just fly out.
I’m not exactly certain that he wasn’t hurt and just got better enough to fly out but it really looked like he just ate himself into a condition where he couldn’t get back out of there.
It was also the only approved smoking location anywhere near the building. So all the smokers crowded into the far corner of the courtyard while the hawk held down the other half.
He was big, probably just shy of two feet tall. Any squawked it anyone that was anywhere near him while he was eating his pigeon.

That’s hilarious 😆
