Some birds work for a living just like we do. This Harris hawk hunts for a falconer in Spain.
This year’s most famous working bird is Rufus the Hawk who patrols Wimbledon to scare away pigeons.
Today humans get a day off in the U.S.
Happy Labor Day.

Great commercial and story. Thanks.
Awesome! Harris Hawks hunt as a family unit here in southern Arizona – really cool to see!
