murder seagull.

Just imagine his chest splattered with the blood of his victims.
alfi001
Beautyful plumage (and yes, its resting)
barnwolf
So I was thinking. I wonder if birds can see further because of better atmospheric conditions looking straight down.
Like if humans had better eyes it wouldn't matter because of atmospheric distortion at ground level. So really we already have the best eyes
Oprean
Its the White Hawk, the end times have come and soon the last chapter of Berserk will be released.

Absolutely not. God I wish they were still around. Fucking despise the new hosts
Nope, I did too. :D

What evolutionary advantage does this provide?
tivvybrixx
Could be strictly ornamental birds are cray like that especially alpha predators

Not a every trait comes from selection.
EchidnasCanSwim
I always mistake them for more common sulphur crested cockatoos at a distance. Maybe prey animals do too so don't run away as quickly.

Some birds have pigments our human eyes can not see but to other birds they look an IR or UV color our mind will never experience.

Snow hawk

rich humans pimp you out as much as possible to sell your chicks.

Snow and cloudy skies
TrustMeImmaDogtor
It doesn't provide an advantage. Where this guy lives, he'll stand out in his habitat and be susceptible to predation by larger birds.
ModernFalconer
This one is artificially produced, as in selectively bred. Don't think the pure white morph is naturally occurring
No it's not. Grey goshawk are Australian and the white morph is mainly wild in Tasmania
Really? Pure white ones like this?
Yeah I see them at my parents farm in Tasmania, they're very cool http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/indeX.aspX?base=13530

LOOK LIKE CLOUD. NO SEE IN SKY.

Damn it , I repeated that in my head with a horrible Native American accent
frankg101
The voice in my head sounded vaguely Asian. How does that even happen??
Brant04
But what predator to this hawk, if it has any would also be able to go catch it in the sky? It would make more sense to blend in the ground
RosyVision
If they hunt from above, prey wouldn't be able to see it gliding down to catch them?
ReaLifeSmeagol
Clouds, light reflection, heat, heat, heat.
BirdGuyJosh
Its white. Its got less chance of being shot for one thing
Gsxs1000
More whites are shot than other colors.
AsheLake
Proportionately?
AMediocreSubstituteForDave
doesn't red eyes mean its albino?
MikeyEugene
Means it's a Sith
HortlersLeftNut
Albinos have red eyes because they have very little pigment in their irises
Which means the blood vessels in the retinas show through the iris. Goshawks just naturally have the pigment I guess
OneHundredPercentDone
Wouldn't they be more pink than a deep red?
OldFarter
They would. With slight translucency
Vertron
Albino would not have the yellow break and legs
TangyGraffiti
This. This is the easiest way to tell. Go you :-)
Yep yep yep
lightningirl12
I think eyes affected by albinism usually have a red pupil not a red iris
Fatdicksinmybutt
Thought it was pink
It's somewhere in there. I wouldn't really call it pink but it's certainly not like the red shown in the post.
asquiiiiiiisha
Pupils are colorless because they are literally holes. They look black b/c the retina doesn't reflect enough light to appear colored.
I should have put the word "appear" in my original comment. I don't know the biology but albino pupils appear red.
keelinn
It's photoshopped
Its what now? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_goshawk
Secondary source incase you dont like wiki: https://www.beautyofbirds.com/greygoshawks.html
Not the feather color, the eyes.
"The white phase Grey Goshawk has a pure white plumage, reddish orange eyes, and yellow cere and feet." From that second source :-)
Yes, but not THAT color red. If you look at any other photo, there are none with eyes that color.
