</div><p> </p><p>In the next video, he said the hawk had been chased by a cat.</p><p>Commenters on the video suggested the hawk's left wing might be injured or it might be stunned after a collision with a car or window, and many urged Mr Bruso to find a rehabilitation or wildlife centre as soon as possible.</p><p>Mr Bruno soon named the bird Harvey the Hurricane Hawk, and kept YouTube updated on Harvey's progress over a series of nine more videos.</p><p>In the second, posted soon after the first, he said Harvey "didn't want to leave" and was "just hanging out".</p><p>Harvey can be seen standing on the passenger seat with its wings and tail spread to brace against braking or cornering.</p><blockquote class="quote--pullquote"><p>"He's a cool bird.

Mr Bruso asks after putting on gloves and picking up Harvey, who settles onto his hand. </p><p>"He just doesn't want to go."</p><p>"Keep him," two people say off-camera. "When he wants to go, he'll go."</p><p>Since Harvey insists upon staying with him, Mr Bruso decides to keep the bird safe during the storm then look for a wildlife carer.</p><div class="inline-content full">

        </a></div><p> </p><p>After having Harvey riding around in his taxi it may not be surprising that Mr Bruso felt comfortable enough to pick up the sleek, sharp-beaked predator, but a panicked hawk could easily cause blindness, and injury from a wild bird could lead to a potentially dangerous infection.</p><p>Harvey moved from the passenger seat to the dashboard as Mr Bruso picked up supplies to ride out the hurricane, then sat next to the bar in Mr Bruso's house and ate chicken hearts while <a href="/news/2017-08-27/hurricane-harvey-leaves-damage-as-texas-braces-for-floods/8845840" target="_self" title="">Hurricane Harvey triggered tornadoes and flash floods elsewhere in Texas</a>.</p><p>Commenters suggested Harvey was large enough to be a female but probably still a juvenile used to being fed by its parents, while Harvey's habit of holding its wings out could be due to either nervousness or trying to get moisture from increased humidity out of its feathers.</p><p>Harvey's story has a happy ending: Although Mr Bruso had thought he would have to wait until Tuesday (local time) to contact a wildlife carer, it was late on Saturday night when the final video showed Harvey being collected by Ivory Rose from the TWRC Wildlife Centre on the west side of Houston.</p><div class="inline-content full">
