This blog introduces the life of a goshawk, a wild drama that unfolded in front of the caretaker in an urban park Tokyo Japan from July 2017 to December 2018.

Perhaps chasing a crow, the young bird and the parent bird came to the forest together.
Did you meet for the first time in a while, or did you talk about old stories with your parents?
Rather than getting along with the parents, it seems that the parents are trying to get rid of their children.
Inferring from the fact that the parent birds and chicks were witnessed together around the park many times, it seems that the parent birds allowed the chicks to be nearby, or were spending time together.
Perhaps he was watching the growth of his child up close and giving the child a share of the prey obtained by hunting.
I wonder if an only child, a goshawk, will grow up to be a more spoiled child.
After successfully warding off the crow, the parent bird in turn aimed the crow to the young bird.
Still, instead of attacking seriously, it seems that he is saying, "This is not where you are! Find your place somewhere soon!"
It's only a few months since the young bird left the nest, but it's enough time for the goshawk to allow the small chicks that hatch from the eggs to become independent.
The sense of time will be completely different from us humans.
The parent bird chased the young bird into the forest
I don't know if the parent and child are playing with each other or if the parent bird is trying to get rid of the child.
For the parent birds, males and females will pair and nest at this location again.
Preparations for breeding for next year are about to begin.
In the near future, young birds will have to leave the forest and live alone.
If there are chicks that grow up forever in the breeding place, they will be competing for limited food, and there is nothing good for each other.
The young bird seems to be more comfortable to be near the parent bird, but the parent bird may be trying to drive out the chicks with a demon in their hearts.
A young bird surrounded by crows but repelled with dignity
The crows who have put out a little bit again,
Next year, we will drive out the goshawk and rush to revive the crow's paradise.
To live here in the city, you have to live with a crow.
Since the crow also lives, he lives to leave offspring.
A young bird that managed to leave the nest while being disturbed by such a life-threatening crow.
It is the result of the hard work of the parents.
Even in such an urban park, there was an ecosystem that was built on the life-threatening conflict.
Young birds can't help but hope to find a new place and live a strong life.
