Thank you Karin

[@pamelalayman9849]

Wow! That one little one tried to cover the bowl with it's wings. They are so cute and so so beautiful when they grow up!

[@mehboobkm3728]

Ha, that is called mantling the food. All birds of prey would do that after they attain a certain age in their growth curve but here she (apparently, because of the size) failed at mantling because the food did not come in one piece!!

[@marilyncatalano6478]

Awwwww the babies!!! Was so funny when all of a sudden Martin stops feeding them, how they all stopped chirping at once. And I found is so funny, I laughed out loud. Their little faces!! Awwwww.

cute as all get out! l've been watching the peregrine falcon nest cams a couple of years now. they're great! fave would be Great Spirit Bluff. the parents often feed the young birds they catch. they have enemies such as owls; l sort of forgot which.. last summer the mom kept watch each night. they are madly hungry all the time it seems and they also seem to get big very fast. 1st time l've seen young kestrels!

[@BLAK371]

Very nice - Please can you tell me how you know (male or female) and how to make them drink the water - thank you - ^ _ ^

[@Iggy_Plush]

Look I know I'm 8 years late, but birds of prey get water from the meat! Also, there are no colour differences in males and females. It's the size. Males are smaller, females are larger

[@BLAK371]

[@Iggy_Plush]

@@BLAK371 you're welcome!

[@Sasser2015]

I really love watching kestrel chicks in the nest. Yes, they are really aggressive for the food at feeding time and I've watched them rip many mice to shreds while fighting over them. But, I've also noticed they're generally not too aggressive towards each other. I don't believe I've ever seen an instance of siblicide , like you do occasionally see with other types of birds of prey.

[@GowildlifeOrg]

It varies from nest to nest

[@shinjineesen400]

The mother kestrels in England feed their chicks in turns, everyone getyomg a share. At least that is what I saw on Robert Fuller's channel. So no siblicide. However the youngest and weakest chick sometimes does not make it to fledging.

[@BrownNomura]

I had to laugh. Martin said, "As you can see these don't make good pets." Response: As you can HEAR these don't make good pets. That competition, the demand for food, CONSTANTLY. I COULD UNDERSTAND why they get kicked out of the nest. I COULD ALSO UNDERSTAND the NEED TO GET FOOD to SURVIVE. I LUVVV THEIR DRIVE TO LIVE!!! GOOD JOB, MARTIN!!!

PhereTaggs I doubt seriously that they will grow to 7 feet tall. Maybe two feet from beak to tail feathers.

[@LION749]

then they will be like Bloodwing ;)

[@Iggy_Plush]

Kestrels are actually small

[@WJack97224]

Do the birds just naturally know how to hunt when they are released to the wild?

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Yes and no. They have strong instincts, and hunting has be figured out the hard way. We can try to help initially, but it comes down to trial and error. Some get it figured out, some don't.

[@WJack97224]

@@GowildlifeOrg , Huh! Thanks for taking the time to educate me.

They learn from watching the parents. Without any parents maybe they can watch a video.

[@bettysmith2673]

What do hawks eat.

[@GowildlifeOrg]

It all depends on the type of hawk and where they are hunting at. Belle, our Harris Hawk, hunts jackrabbits and cottontail.

[@shathaal-monthri5586]

What kind of meat or food at home I can leave for babies I have in my window? Don’t have access to wildlife services/vet where I am

[@GowildlifeOrg]

We deal with so many species of birds, it really depends on their dietary needs. If your would like additional information, please contact us directly at www.gowildlife.org

[@peteraernouts5741]

how do you learn them to hunt for them self is what I wonder.

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Hi Peter, thanks for your interest and that is a good question! It is mostly instinctual and also a judgment call by Martin. He needs to recognize the bird is mature enough or recovered enough face the wild. He mentions this part in many videos, but maybe that would be a good topic for its own video.

[@zacharycat]

Usually predatory birds cannot survive in the wild after being raised by humans.

[@doriannes1549]

What else are you feeding them besides pinkies?🤔

[@GowildlifeOrg]

They are Kestrel falcons. Their natural diet is large insects, mice and very occasionally small birds. Martin feeds them them close to the same until they are ready for release.

[@doriannes1549]

What is that metal thing your using?

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Hi Dorianne, Martin sometimes uses forceps to keep his hands a little safer from getting bitten during feedings.

[@AugustAdvice]

I thought if you give animals food they forget how to hunt, is this true?

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Good question, thanks for your interest. We'll add it to our list for an "Ask Martin" video then we'll ask Martin is he'll do a "Ask Martin" video.

[@ernestferguson1283]

AugustAdvice no

[@ernestferguson1283]

they are imprinted to humans and couldn't be released in the wild.... it's beautiful to have saved them for sure 😍😍

@@GowildlifeOrg 5:10 The one in the dish is spreading the wings to "protect" the food, is there a word/phase for that behavior?

[@robertlee-nq6mg]

Will they survive in wild if released as they don't get to learn from mommy how to hunt

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Yes, raised properly they will have the basic skills and instincts to take care of themselves.

To have one as your hunting companion, you must become a falconer

[@khurshidaanjum8207]

SubhanAllah SubhanAllah Alhumdulla what a nice and cute bird.

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Agreed!

[@nebulosa4347]

Don't they need their parents to teach them what to eat, where to find food, and how to hunt? Have orphaned falcons released to the wild actually been followed to see whether they survive?

[@impossibruru]

+Nebu Losa Instinct

[@nebulosa4347]

+ImpossibRu Apparently instinct does not work for cats, big or small.

[@impossibruru]

Nebu Losa Those are not birds tho are they? They arent taught how to fly either. They just DO IT lol. It's in their DNA, etc etc. They don't perch on a tree while mom is like ok watch while i catch this mouse. Nope, they just catch the damn mouse LOL. Instinct

[@dedfed321]

+Nebu Losa actually i would use your thought particularly about flying, generally young birds needs assistance from their parents to master flying

[@nebulosa4347]

dedfed321 Was that question really for me? I'm not too familiar with birds. I do know that they train a lot on the nest before they try to fly. They keep flapping their wings until they can lift themselves off the nest. I don't know whether their parents assist them with flying, but they certainly help them find food in the first weeks/months after they leave the nest.

[@mehboobkm3728]

Why the small one is small though you assured equal feeding for all? Was it a male chick?

Do You give them water too?
