American Toby Jug Museum 

Hawk toby jug medium size produced in Germany circa 1930. Hawks are birds of prey of the family Accipitridae. They are very widely distributed and are found on all continents except Antarctica. The hawk is very intelligent towards humans and other hawks. They prefer open habitats such as deserts and fields, likely because it is easier to spot prey. As they are able to live anywhere, they can also be found in mountainous plains and tropical, moist areas such as Central America, the West Indies, and Jamaica. Like most birds of prey, hawks kill their prey with their talons. Hawks usually prefer hunting just before nightfall when daylight lessens. Although hawks are known for being violent predators, some are gentle and quiet.
