Shame on 927 Fifth Avenue
For 12 years, a famous hawk has lived at the luxury New York City address of 927 5th Avenue. He has sired at least 25 hawklets from his nest perched under a ledge on the outside of the building and was a regular attraction for both residents and visitors to the city. But last week, the building co-op decided to evict the hawk, destroying it’s nest and, most importantly, removing the ability to rebuild it. News reports say the poor bird has been seen trying to rebuild but to no avail. The residents understandably don’t want to talk about it to the media, the whole city has protested against such a shameful act, and there have been daily protests outside the building. Hopefully the bird will be allowed to return but whatever the outcome this seems just another example of the selfish attitude of the very wealthy. If you’re in the area sometime, shout some abuse at them for me.
