Hawk Has Babies Outside Woman's Window and the Internet Is Invested
A woman online has people tuning in after she discovered a hawk had laid eggs outside her window. Kimberly Clark has been documenting the whole exciting journey on her TikTok page and had people cheering after showing the mama hawk caring for her new babies.
The hawk babies started hatching a little over a week ago and ever since Clark has held the internet's attention.
Every couple of days, Clark would give the world an update. First one egg hatched, then a few days later the second egg hatched too. The third hawk egg has now finally hatched, which made Clark very, very happy.

"We have three babies!" she said in the clip. The footage shows the mom tending to her little newborns. They're so darn cute!
Clark has also been live streaming the hawk nest, so that she and her students wouldn't miss a single update. The woman said she's hoping to come up with names for the babies very soon.
People in the comments section were very invested in the three babies. "How can you get anything done? This is all I would do all day," wrote one person. While other people had suggestions for names. "Alvin, Simon and Theadore! Named after their dinner," joked one person, referring to the unfortunate chipmunk mom had nabbed for their meal. "If mom’s name is Trina, I vote the three are named after other Victorious characters: Tori, Beck, Jade for example lol," someone else added.
Unfortunately, many people in the comments section pointed out there was a good chance not all of the babies would survive. "Only one will live. The strongest one will kill the weakest and smallest first and [keep going until] only one of them survive," one person pointed out.
Do Baby Hawks Get Along?
It's not exactly clear if the hawks will kill each other, but there is a good chance the bigger hawk baby will be aggressive with the smaller hawks to hone their skills. Or sometimes the older hawks will pick on the younger hawks if there's a lack of food.
It's during these food shortages that baby hawks may kill weaker babies. But it may not exactly be the norm. Even if the bigger hawk doesn't want to kill its sibling, the aggression can still be intense. Thankfully, it looks like this mama hawk has brought a chipmunk and mouse for her babies to eat. So here's hoping that all three hawks will make it out a-okay.
