Which condition is characterized by your hawk flicking her food?

Flicking food is a behavior often associated with a condition that affects a hawk's health and feeding behavior. In this case, the correct answer is associated with Frounce, which is a disease caused by the parasite Trichomonas gallinae. Frounce typically affects the digestive tract of birds and can lead to lesions in the throat, causing discomfort while eating. This discomfort may result in the hawk exhibiting unusual feeding behaviors, such as flicking or dropping food.

In contrast, Lead poisoning is characterized by neurological symptoms and weakness rather than feeding behaviors. Aspergillosis is a fungal infection that primarily affects the respiratory system in birds, leading to respiratory distress, but it does not specifically cause food flicking. Coccidiosis, a parasitic infection that affects the intestinal tract, can result in diarrhea and weight loss but is not typically associated with the specific behavior of flicking food. Hence, the behavior of a hawk flicking her food is most closely connected to the complications arising from Frounce.
