Why are hawks very important to us?
Hawks are very important to us for several reasons. Hawks are carnivorous birds, so they're strong enough to catch their preys. Firstly, this is a long explanation about the pest control. Snakes and rodents are nasty pests because snakes can bite people, which some species can be venomous enough for some people to die. Rodents are also very bad because they can gnaw at people, invade our house and wreck stuffs, destroy farm crops which triggers some famine to people, and some rodents can carry some nasty diseases, which can trigger a plague like the European Black Death in the mid-13th century. However, the hawk these nasty animals, including the snakes and rodents, so that it can save people to reduce the risk of snakebites and rodent plagues. Hawks are part of the snakebite and rodent control because they usually prey on these small nasty animals. Secondly, this partially connects to the first reason point. Hawks are part of the food chain, just like other animals, and hawk is typically an apex predator. If the hawks went extinct, there would be a chaos to the food chain. The hawk usually eat snakes, rodents, small mammals, etc. for their food diet. The hawk eat these things everyday in order to control their prey population. If the hawks went extinct, their prey would overpopulate because there'll be nothing to hunt them down. The snake and rodent overpopulation is especially more terrible because it'll increase the vulnerable frequency of more snakebites and rodent plagues, in which people would be in a huge danger.
That's why we shouldn't hunt hawks into extinction, otherwise we'll all terribly affect ourselves at the end.
no. but they like to live in very high places, like other eagles, falcons, and other large birds.
If you are in an area populated with hawks and your cats are far from you, then yes, it is possible your cat could be a snack. I frequently have have these problems in my backyard, but not once has any of my cats been taken by a hawk. What you should do to avoid this event:
Hawks will not hunt if it sees a stronger, bigger thing that could harm it's hunt. So keep your cats within 5 or 7 yards from you.
Constantly scan the sky for any 'lingering' hawks. I've had hawks take to circling my cats from high above before. If you do see any hawks, go straight to your cat's side.
Follow that and your cats will be safe!
How do humans effect the Red-Tailed Hawk?
Im not the greatest person to be answering this but I would like to help. Humans actually help the red tailed hawks, I know it sounds wierd but we do. Our buildings can provide these hawks with shelter for building their nests and our telephone poles as well, since humans dont really bother them. Red tailed Hawks arent an endangered species, there are actually a lot of these hawks around. We also use them for falconry, we train them to hunt, which has helped their population number go up.
Hawks beaks are very useful. They are strong for breaking open things - snail kites' specialty, impaling things and for breaking down their prey into edible pieces for themselves or their offspring.
No, they are not venomous.
However, they are very large snakes with very strong feeding instincts. Even without venom, they can inflict a nasty bite, and should be left to experienced reptile keepers.

There is a great site called the Internet Bird Collection that has a flock of bird videos and audio clips for your edification. A link is provided to just one of their videos (with audio). The second link is to their home page.
If you mean "who" rather than "what" then I think the answer is probably "no-one"! But if you mean "what" then the answer is that although birds of prey are pretty much at the top of the food chain, this does not mean that nothing ever hunts them. Coyotes, snakes, etc take the young (and eggs) of any bird they can reach, so ground-nesting birds, which includes some hawks, are all vulnerable to them. Also, birds of prey will kill each other, so for example a goshawk will hill a redtail hawk.
a fox can eat a hawk, its mostly the bigger animals. still working on seeing if polar bears can eat hawks though:9 (:
A fox, skunk, badger, or any scavenger will eat a dead hawk. Bigger hawks will eat small hawks, pumas will pull hawks from the air, and foxes, skunks, snakes, ect. will eat eggs.
Hawks are at the top of the food chain, but they can still be preyed upon by any larger birds of prey such as eagles. When on the ground, creatures such as the lynx have been known to kill and eat hawks.
Great horned owls and corvids are known to be predators of hawk nestlings.
If it's a small-ish hawk some big/ wild cats(bob cat, cougar, mountain lion, pumas, ect). Other animals could be, maybe, a large wolf, fox.
The animals that eat the hawk are raccoons, the great horned owl, an the red fox. Eagles and larger hawks will eat smaller hawks.
This depends on where the hawk lives but predators could be, raccoons, foxes owls, eagles, larger members of the cat family
Nothing. The Hawk is an apex predator that feeds on small rodents and mammals like mice, rabbits etc
No animal eats the hawk
Bigger hawks, eagles in certain areas, and big cats like the lynx
How many eggs can a hawk have at once?

The bottoms of a Red Tailed Hawk's wings have a combination of brown, light brown, and black splotches on the wings. They have a mostly cream color near the bottoms of the wings. Hope this helps! ;)
Where are hawks on the food chain?
Hawks are Primary Cosumers on the food chain, in that they prey upon smaller birds and animals but are not preyed upon themselves, except on rare occasions where they exist alongside much bigger birds of prey such as eagles, and are in competition with them for food.
What is the sparrow hawks prey?
