"The story of a goshawk, a bird of prey that has advanced into the city Tokyo Japan"
This blog introduces the life of a goshawk, a wild drama that unfolded in front of the caretaker in an urban park in Tokyo from July 2017 to December 2018.
3 brothers, always 2 chasing
The three chicks that jumped out into the new world, most of them were the first to see and touch, and they showed various interesting behaviors.

When the three young birds that flew out of the nest were able to land well, they began to chase after each other.
But this chase, one young bird doesn't try to join the group very much.
Brothers, young birds flying in the sky with friends, and one that does not join the group are a little smaller than the other two. As I introduced in the previous blog, it must be a male.
Is it bullish, "I won't play with a girl!" Or can you join me?
It seems that three chicks hatched in 2017, the previous year, but only one was able to grow safely.
So I couldn't have the experience of flying around with my brothers, and I was always alone.
Young birds.
However, I was able to eat as slowly as I wanted without having to worry about being stolen by my siblings by always monopolizing the food that my parents brought.
However, since I don't have any siblings, I couldn't have the experience of flying around with my siblings, and I remember always lonely calling for my parents.
The link pasted below is a video of the fledging of young birds last year 2017.
Records of young birds that left the nest the previous year, records of goshawk only children
In 2018, the following year, all three siblings were able to grow up safely.
Therefore, the siblings always compete with each other for the food that the parent birds bring, and they cannot eat slowly.
Instead, all three brothers can fly together in the sky.
Let's chase!
Practicing flying with all the brothers, doing anything seems to be more fun than when you are alone.
As brothers, they will learn various ways to fly for hunting in order to fly in the sky while chasing after them.
By the way, when I had only one young bird last year, I didn't fly around so much and just screamed to call my parents.
Demon change!
This would be two sisters who are always together.
Looks very close.
If you can catch it, catch it!
At this time, the young bird on the right was tired and was reluctant to chase after his brother who was running away.
The brother who set up the chase, when he saw that he would not chase from behind, immediately turned around and turned to the chasing side again.
And, suddenly approaching behind the brother who is not enthusiastic!
If you don't chase, I'll chase you!
The brother, who was about to eat an attack from behind, couldn't help but jump off the branch that had stopped and escape from the attack from behind.
Young birds that have just been nesting.
The flight distance is not so long, let's fly there! It feels like it flies after putting on a stop, and even if it flies, it lands immediately.
While playing like this, young birds gain their flying skills and confidence every day.
The way I flew became more and more bold, and the distance I flew gradually increased.
"It's good to fly like this!" "Is it like this?"
After chasing after a while, it seems that the brothers are reviewing how to fly, perhaps because they are tired.
The eldest son practiced flying with one bird
A little petite eldest son, he doesn't fly much with his sisters and always watches his sisters fly up close.
Again, I was improving my flight ability on a daily basis.
