Is that a joint in the bird's mouth in the first photo?

A convicted felon from Watts has been sentenced to 45 days in jail and 12 months of probation for posting video of himself pouring alcohol into a hawk’s mouth, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said Tuesday.
CDFW officers began investigating after a YouTube video surfaced showing 25-year-old Cesar Gustavo Diaz feeding a BuzzBallz mixed cocktail to the bird. Investigators later determined that Diaz captured the young Cooper’s hawk at Amelia Mayberry Park in Whittier in June 2025.
“Hanging out with the homie,” read one still image from the video, according to the CDFW. “Hawk loves him some buzz ball,” another still stated.
Diaz allegedly released the hawk before wildlife officials could intervene, and its condition is unknown. He was already in custody on unrelated charges when prosecutors filed misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and capturing wildlife in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Diaz pleaded no contest to the animal cruelty charge on Feb. 19.

My dog likes bourbon. Every time I get up he gets him some.

I’ve always wondered who drinks that shite.

I don't see how you can rule this as animal cruelty, the hawk is clearly having a great time.

I have a buddy who has a French Bulldog. There is a bowl sitting next to his chair. Every time he pops a beer the dog comes running and he pours about a quarter of the can in the bowl and they drink together. By the fourth quarter of the football game those two are always passed out.
I guess they would charge him too? It’s not like the guy forced the bird to drink.

It sure looks like a joint in his mouth. We did that with Venus Fly Traps many moons ago while partying,

Alcohol is terrible for a dog’s liver.
