A hawk makes a nest at the Tipton and causes havoc, so Mr. Moseby scares her away. When Cody finds that the hawk laid an egg, he cares for it while Zack films the hatching of the egg to sell on the internet. Cody continues to care for the baby hawk after the egg hatches, but when the baby hawk is ready to be released into the wild, Cody has a difficult time letting him go.

Trivia[]

  • The title of the episode, "Birdman of Boston," is an allusion to the title of the 1962 film, Birdman of Alcatraz.
  • In this episode, the hawk's name is "Bubba", the name of Dylan and Cole Sprouse's real-life dog.
  • Carey has blonde hair in this episode because it was produced before "Volley Dad".
  • This is one of only two episodes in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody where London is absent. The other being "Have a Nice Trip".
  • Mr. Moseby says to Zack and Cody “I will get both of you and your little hawk too.” It’s a reference from The Wizard of Oz when The Wicked Witch of the West said it to Dorothy Gale when she was gonna get her and her dog, Toto.
  • Zack says a similar quote “Don’t tell anyone or I’ll punch you in the neck and your little chicken too” briefly during the Mother of the Groom.
  • The hawk featured in this episode is an Augur Buzzard, a buteo hawk native to Africa.

Quotes[]

  • Cody: It moved! The chick moved inside the egg! There's life in me!
  • Maddie: (while protesting outside) The Tipton hates hawks! The Tipton hates hawks! The Tipton...
    • Mr. Moseby: Madeline, please! Look, a zoo isn't so bad.
    • Maddie: Then why aren't you living in one?
    • Mr. Moseby: I am.
  • Mr. Moseby: Maddie, you cannot parade around here with that sign!
    • Maddie: As a citizen of these United States of America whose proud symbol is the bald eagle, best friend to the hawk, I have a right to express myself freely.
    • Patrick: As do I. As maitre'd, I demand the immediate removal of that baby hawk before it presents a real danger to life, liberty and my daily special.
    • Maddie: Bird hater!
    • Patrick: Bird huger!
  • Zack: Maddie, what do you got that's full of fat, sugared-chocolate and peanuts?
    • Maddie: My Aunt Bessy?
  • Cody: If you do anything to frighten or harm that bird, we'll...
    • Mr. Moseby: You'll what?
    • Cody: We'll report you to the TGATPPWSHA.
    • Mr. Moseby & Zack: The what?
    • Cody: The Government Agency That Punishes People Who Scare Hawks Away!
    • Zack: Oh, yeah. They play rough.
  • Zack: You know, this "watering plants for people who are on vacation" thing is easy.
    • Cody: Easy for you. You're planted on the couch.
  • Arwin: You know, in high school, my nickname was "The Hawk".
    • Mr. Moseby: Really?
    • Arwin: No. I did try to get that going though. Actually, they...they called me...uh..."Nose-picker".
    • Mr. Moseby: Arwin...
    • Arwin: You pick one nostril in second grade and they label you for life.
    • Mr. Moseby: Okay, Arwin...
    • Arwin: You know, in retrospect, maybe the problem was, it wasn't my nose.
    • Mr. Moseby: Oh...
    • Arwin: I just felt so bad for her, you know? You know, you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you cannot pick your friend's nose.
    • Mr. Moseby: OH! ARWIN! JUST STOP!
  • Mr. Moseby: {Mr. Tripton} loved my idea of humanely capturing the hawk and releasing her into the wild, so she can poop with wild abandon on all those tree-hugging nature-lovers.
