Can a hawk lift up full sized duck?

Yes, a hawk can lift up a full-sized duck. Hawks are powerful birds of prey that have strong talons and wings that are adapted for carrying heavy objects. They typically hunt small mammals, birds, and reptiles, but they have been known to take down prey that is much larger than them, including ducks.

The weight of a full-sized duck can vary depending on the species, but on average, they can weigh between 2 and 4 pounds. Some larger duck species, such as mallards and Canada geese, can weigh up to 10 pounds. Hawks that are capable of lifting ducks include the red-tailed hawk, the ferruginous hawk, and the golden eagle. These hawks have wingspans of up to 6 feet and can weigh up to 12 pounds.

When a hawk catches a duck, it will use its talons to grip the duck's body and its wings to lift it up into the air. The hawk will then carry the duck to a nearby perch where it will eat it.
