Flew the COOP



Okay, that's not gramati-cally correct but the baby kestrel, COOP, is now out of her pen. She's seen sitting on top of the hawk flite barn looking at her new home, the big wide world. I'm still planning on feeding her mice, as I did this morning on top of the bunny barn. And will support her as long as she stays around here and begs for food. Just as any parent kestrel would do for a certain amount of time after their babies fledge.

Thanks again Kristy for saving that little white downy baby from a certain death. Now it's up to Mother Nature to provide the strength and knowledge so this wonderful little falcon lives a long a healthy life.

  1. How fast they grow up ! I hope she sticks around for awhile and learns the ways of the world before heading out on her own. Catching those mice isn't as easy as it looks !
