Peregrines On Saker Site (Update)

[melv16]

The chick that was rehabilitated was returned to the nest site to rejoin the parents and fledglings. Hopefully,  it will survive.

The smallest chick (Soma based on its ring), which we managed to save twice after falling out in the corn field, grew up nicely in the zoo's bird hospital, while its companions (Lelle and Hanga) flew out.

 

 

 

 

He has shed his white "fur", only a few down feathers are hiding in his plumage. He grew stronger and practiced the movements of flying more and more often. The day came when we took him out to the base of the power line pole equipped with an artificial nest and camera to return him to nature. 

 

Approaching the power line pole, we spotted one young peregrine falcon at the top of the pole, and then the other one, which was just resting on one of the crossbars, started to squawk. By the time we got to the pillar, one of the parents had also stopped. The youngsters immediately flew up squealing and followed him. The more skilled managed to take the prey from the parent's claws on the fly. This is how young people are fed at this age.

In the meantime, hearing the sound of the hawks, Soma also perked up and squealed loudly to indicate how much he missed the kaba family.

I C and P this from the site.

The translation isn't up to much.

 

 

 

 

Soma was placed on the crossbar of the post by our expert, and before he met the parents again, we left the field so as not to disturb the reunion of the falcon family. In the following days, we will visit the site
