Study on the relation between an accipiter bird and man. The aim of this study was to learn relations between accipitrids and men working with them. The study consisted in observations of trained accipitrids – common buzzard Buteo buteo and Northern goshawk Accipiter gentili, during everyday trainings, with special attention devoted to the role of sight in their life. As a result of observations made in the study, it was concluded that the visual and audio signal as well as knowing each other and common trust were important factors during man’s work with a raptor. Common buzzard turned out to be a calmer bird, its responses were less rapid compared to Northern goshawk. This raptor did not pay attention to the presence of unfamiliar persons, but was vulnerable to objects emitting signals unfamiliar to it (buses or moving trolleys). None of the hunting birds allowed to be touched by an unfamiliar person, which is a natural behavior of raptors. Northern goshawk was responding significantly faster to the sight of an approaching person and was flaying away almost immediately.
