I'm getting slow. It's not a king bird, it's a hawker harrier.

The defense against this, is the raptor suddenly rolling over, and grabbing the offending attacker in it's talons.

Since the hawks and eagles are larger, and slower to maneuver, this doesn't usually allow them to actually catch the attacker, but it keeps them from from being pecked on the base of their skulls.

It's a trick that can't be used if they're too close to the ground, because they lose a bit of altitude and speed, every time they try it.
