English explanation below
רמת הנדיב משתתפת במאמצים לאישוש האוכלוסיה של הבזים האדומים בישראל מאז 2006. במסגרת פעילות זו, מגיעים לטיפול ברמת הנדיב בזים רבים מדי שנה - מרביתם פרחונים וגוזלים שנפלו מהקן ומיעוטם בוגרים שנפצעו. לאחר טיפול ואקלום, משוחררים בכל שנה כ-50 בזים צעירים, כשעל רגליהם טבעות זיהוי ממתכת ומפלסטיק. לפני שנה החל קינון של זוג בזים אדומים בתיבת קינון ברמת הנדיב. הזכר היה פרט ששוחרר ברמת הנדיב והנקבה הייתה ללא טבעות. הקינון הסתיים בצורה טראגית, כאשר מיינות טרפו את 4 הביצים שהיו בתיבה, והרגו את הבזה. השנה שוב הופיע זוג בזים אדומים, שזהותו אינה ידועה עדיין, על הכלוב, והחל לישון בתיבה. אנחנו מקווים שהשידור הישיר מהתיבה יאפשר לנו לשמור טוב יותר על הבזים, וכמובן שהקינון יצליח.
מצלמת הותקנה ומתוחזקת על-ידי ציפורים אונליין קבוצת צ'רטר\ קבוצת צ'רטר לחקר אקולוגית חיות-הבר' (מכון שמיר למחקר והחוג לגיאוגרפיה ולימודי סביבה באוניברסיטת חיפה) ומומנה על-ידי תורם אנונימי.
Since 2006, Ramat Hanadiv has been participating in efforts to rehabilitate lesser kestrels in Israel. As part of this activity, many lesser kestrels arrive to Ramat Hanadiv yearly - most of them as fledglings and nestlings that fell from nest and some were injured adults. After treatment and acclimatization, around 50 kestrel are ringed with standard aluminum and a plastic color rings are released back to nature from Ramat Hanadiv. In 2020, a wild pair of lesser falcons (The male was ringed) started breeding (laid eggs) in a nesting box but the nesting attempt ended tragically, when invasive common mynas killed the female and ate the 4 eggs. This year another pair of lesser kestrels have started to visit the nest box. We hope that the online camera will allow us to better keep track the kestrels breeding in hope that this year they will succeed.
In 2021 the pair returned, laid 5 eggs and successfully fledged 2 young.
The camera was added and maintained by the Charter Group Birdcams/ Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology (The Shamir Research Institute and the Department of Geography and Environmental Science of the University of Haifa) and funded by a private donor.

I’ve never seen a kestrel chick do this. Even using its talons at this age to grab the centipede was fascinating.

That centipede was like "uh uh, not today."

And centipedes bite so it really was a fight.

[@christopherbarker3543]

The force is strong with this one!

[@1stLt_HChurch]

I've always hated centipedes because there's just too many legs on those things, but damn. This made me creeped out by them even more. Just to imagine how that poor baby felt with the bug grasping onto its whole face while also probably snagged in its throat, without proper methods to get it off. And imagine how gross it must have felt to go down. At that point you want to eat it just to get it to go away, but you would also hope it doesn't try to come back up. Ah god, just thinking about that makes me to disgusted and creeped out. I do love its expression afterwards though. Like, "I finally defeated it, but at what cost." I feel bad for it because the expression is both funny and makes me feel sorry for the poor little exhausted kiddo. It sure was cool to see it use its feet though. It'll probably subconsciously learn a lot from this.

[@austinzobel4613]

I thought it was interesting how the siblings reacted... they must have known something was wrong... but they didn't know how to help or something xD I love how at one part both of the other siblings just exchange a glance before looking back at our warrior chick 2:48

[@venricchen]

LOL🤣, what a cute baby kestrel!

[@KatTheTarantulaKeeper]

They said " really bro??? You had to eat the whole thing?!?" 😂

What are you talking about? The bird wasn't having a tantrum lmao, it literally says it in the title, it's fighting a centipede, do you not see the big a** bug on the birds face???

[@DarkVoidIII]

Even at the end of the video the centipede was still coming back up! I'm not sure they should eat this kind of insect, but it seems like the chick wanted it anyway.

[@bethnor]

they will eat anything. that's why their average parasite count would keep you up at night.

[@leanne2698]

OMG! Hope the chick will be ok😟

[@erismana2105]

[@ND-jl9jq]

No, he's only struggling to get rid of it. It's biting the chick inside its throat.

[@jet5572]

Omg I felt so bad for that poor chick! I hope that thing wasn’t biting him the whole time too bc those centipedes HURT LIKE HELL when they bite omg!!! That little guy didn’t give up tho, even when it was like poking him in the eye and all!!! That little baby is determined and tough as hell💪

[@RoJoMe]

That was fascinating to watch. Having spent most of my life in the Arizona desert, I have never seen a baby bird attempting to eat a centipede. Although, I DID see a cow munching on a rattlesnake…stupid cow.
