The Indian Hawk

The most fascinating and little known aspect of this apparently familiar bird is its mating habit. Some of the hawk family are monogamous while others are not. While the male and female court each other and build a nest before they actually mate, the mating itself is a marvel. The male and female soar high flying in circles together and the male dive towards the female. They repeat this soar and dive multiple times until the male latches onto the female at which point the male and female free-fall towards the ground. The copulation ritual must be one of the most exciting among the animal kingdom.
