Best Answer

The sparrow hawk, also known as the American Kestrel Falcon, (it's a falcon) has predators consisting of great-horned owls, red-tailed hawks, and other bigger birds, even crows and ravens. Some land mammals have been known to attack falcons, such as raccoons, bobcats, coyotes, and more.

Sparrow hawks of Europe are accipiters, which are bird hawks, and sparrows are sometimes eaten. The sparrow hawk of North America is a small falcon, the kestrel, and it sometimes does take small birds. To add to the confusion, there is a European kestrel.

Other birds. Do not be midled by the name, it will happily eat sparrows but has no particular preference for them, and it is unclear why it has the name "sparrowhawk".
