Seahawks live mascot escapes handler, goes to chill with all the 12s

Have you ever seen an actual ‘Seahawk’?

The football team by the name has a mascot that’s not actually a ‘seahawk’ (those don’t technically exist), it’s an augur hawk named Taima.

Taima is a very large bird with very large talons who has been trained to make her epic flyovers at CenturyLink Field in Seattle for Seahawks home games.

Sunday, she decided to make a little detour.

Taima instead flew into the crowd and first landed on a man’s head, then an adjacent fan. It looks like she just wanted to hang out with the 12s that always cheer her on as she flies over the field.

She sat patiently as fans around her freaked, then got out their camera phones. One brave fan — the guy she had landed on — even reached out to pet her.

So the Seahawks flew away from its handler and landed on the lady next to me!! See!! pic.twitter.com/osf4fgVpK4
