Description: The image depicts a hawk killing many pigeons. Fearing for their safety, after seeing a red kite fly overhead, the pigeons invite a hawk in the farm in return for the hawk’s protection. Once admitted the hawk turns on the pigeons and does more damage to them in one day than the kite would have been able to do.
