"Taima" the hawk
The big day is almost here. What will we talk about in Seattle when football is over?
Taima made an appearance at the Superbowl last year but was grounded. By the way, there is no such bird as a "Sea Hawk." Taima is Auger Hawk (also known as the auger buzzard) native to Africa. She lives at a bird sanctuary in Spokane, and is trained to fly out of the tunnel ahead of the players at home games.
This week, Taima is on a strict diet to get down to ideal Super Bowl weight. The problem being the warmer weather in Phoenix, which could cause a slower flight and mess up the precise timing of the game opening. Or worse.
You never know what you're gonna see at a Seahawks game. In November, Taima committed a personal foul and later apologized on Twitter for her unsportsmanlike behavior.
