Hunting
Hook Hawks where a formidable hunter, so much so that young Je'daii would learn about how to defend themselves against them. Hook Hawks hunted in packs searching for prey. The Hook Hawks would circle their prey and hover there while they sang a hypnotic song. The song, if the prey was exposed to it for long enough, could cause paralysis. At which time the Hook Hawks would dive and using their hooked beaks and sharp talons to gouge out the prey's eyes and throats. The way the young [Je'daii]] were taught to escape the hawks was to splash through water which would drown out the song.
