This is probably why hawks leave the feet and head of their prey. So their prey can't claw their way out.

I would have thought hawks tore their prey to bits rather than swallowing them whole.... live and learn.

maybe aliens like the movies are infesting birds now, and this one just happened to fail to get out?

you don't eat the toenails you just eat the skin off the feet. They look like rubber gloves for skinney aliens

They do. Take a look at the hawk and the size of the leg. There's no way a whole bird could fit through its beak unless it's somehow gained the ability to unhinge it. I just can't see how it could eat the thing whole.

Ha! That's what the hawk gets for murdering that songbird. I hope he is burning in hell right now.
