First of all, who the forget cares if he kicked the bird.
It was dead. DEAD. He kicked an animal THAT WAS ALREADY DEAD.
And he would have to be a special kind of stupid to try to catch a falcon that's speeding straight at him. I would looooove getting my hands impaled or seriously injured to the point of almost being ripped off, or better yet, getting killed by a falcon just to save it's life after the damn thing tried to kill me.
It's not like he saw a falcon that looked dangerous then clubbed it to death. It swooped at him and he moved out the way. Big whoop.
