1:22:03
Only t'sparrow's leg.
Must have been hungry.
1:22:06
Must have been starvin'.
1:22:08
You hang on here. I'll put him ont' perch.
1:22:14
Come on, then.
1:22:28
You know, there's something
weird about it when it's flyin'.
1:22:33
- Hawks are t'best fliers there is.
- No, I didn't mean that.
1:22:37
When it's flyin', there's something
about it makes you feel strange.
1:22:41
- ls it cos everythin' goes quiet?
- That's it, aye.
1:22:45
Other folks have noticed that. I know
a farmer who says it's same wi' owls.
1:22:49
You know, when they get
his mice in his yard at night.
1:22:53
When they swoop down, he feels like
pokin' his ears to make 'em pop.
1:22:57
Cos it goes that quiet.
1:22:59
It's as if they're flying
in a pocket of silence.
1:23:02
Have you noticed
how quietly we're speaking?
1:23:05
As if we're frightened to raise our voices,
a bit like shouting in church.
1:23:10
- It's cos they're nervous.
- Oh, no. It's more than that.
1:23:13
It's instinctive. It's a sort of respect.
1:23:16
I know, sir. That's what makes me mad.
When I take her for walks, somebody says
1:23:21
"Look, it's Billy Casper and his pet hawk."
1:23:24
I could shout at 'em, sir. lt in't a pet.
1:23:27
Or if somebody comes up to me
and says "ls it tame?"
1:23:30
ls it heck tame! Hawks can't be tamed.
1:23:34
They're manned. It's wild and it's fierce
and it's not bothered about anybody.
1:23:39
Not bothered about me, right.
That's what makes it great.
1:23:42
A lot of people wouldn't understand.
They like their pets to be fussed.
1:23:46
I'm not bothered about that.
I just want her for her looks and to fly her.
1:23:50
They can keep their talkin' budgies.
They're nowt compared wi' her.
1:23:54
You're right, Billy. You're probably right.
1:23:58
D'you know summat, sir? I think she's
done me a favour, lettin' me watch her.
