chicken hawk
A chicken hawk is an informal term used primarily in North America for several species of birds of prey, such as the Red-tailed Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, or Cooper's Hawk, which are allegedly seen as predators of chickens. However, notably, these species do not predominantly prey on chickens. The term "chicken hawk" is also used in politics as a pejorative term to describe a politician who calls for war, yet has not himself experienced warfare or military service.
