I had a pair of Kestrils nest in my Box in Tennessee for 9 years. In the winter had Screech Owls nest in the box. Had 9 eggs laid by the female Kestril one year. Watched them all fledge and leave with the parents . I captured English Sparrows to prevent them harming my bluebirds and purple Martin's. Snip some feathers off their tail feathers throw them out and the male kestril would catch them in mid air to take to his young to feed. So Loved watching them use that box the 9 years we lived in Springfield Tennessee. So rewarding!
Man, this has got to be the best video on all of CZcams. My girl and I sat and watched it together, and we both laughed and cried. What an amazing story, and even more amazing that you shared it with us. The guy in the video is every bit as much of a bad ass as the kestrel was. Lol. Thank you for such an amazing experience.
Thanks a million 😊 glad you enjoyed it it truly was a amazing part of my life so glad it happened👍👍
Yes! One of the absolute best videos on the platform, by far!
I had no idea what was coming when I clicked on it, but I’m glad I did. High-five props to you, @tango, I thank you and I know that beautiful little Sparrow-hawk does, too!
Kestrels are my favourite bird of prey they are very keen to learn I really enjoyed watching this thanks for sharing
Thank you im glad you liked it😊👍
Thanks for sharing this. Great job and wonderful footage.😍💪👍
Thank you glad you enjoyed it😊👍
@@tangostalons5807 Yes, I love it
Cool 😎 thanks for the update
What an amazing thing to watch. People like you make this world a better place. Such a lovely bird always a joy to see them.
Thank you delighted you liked it, also one of my favourite birds of prey such little characters👍
The most beautifull raptor of Europe.....fast, maneuvrable, and not afraid for anything or anyone during the breeding season..attacking crows, herons and buzzards when flying trough the nest side!!!
They sure are👍 i would have never thought untill i seen them up close in action , unfortunately becoming a rare sight here in Ireland nowdays, but there are pockets of people trying to make a diffrance by building nestboxes ect👍
this is amazing
Mate what an absolute diamond you are. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. All wildlife need more champions like you. Thank you.👍🦅
Thank you glad you enjoyed it👍👍
Mate what a super little bird! Great work getting her fit, could really see her putting the work in on the lure.
Thank you she was a super little character👍
Kestrels are such sweet, loving little birds. I adore them.
You my friend are a legend. What a lucky break that little bird got. Let's hope she went on to make plenty of babies.👍
I am deeply impressed by the amount of time and effort you have put into helping this hawk lead a healthy, independent life. Thank you for the wonderful video
Thank you very much 😊👍
A very moving story with brilliant footage.❤
@@sydeot Thanks Syd, your answer makes my comment complete
What a great story with an amazing ending.
Absolutely loved watching.
It's Great to see there are truly amazing people that can do fantastic compassionate things like this. Amazing
Thank you very much im glad you enjoyed it.😊👍
Thanks for sharing!🥰
❤❤❤❤
So beautiful. Just got my hawk packet yesterday. Can't wait to get to work!
Super footage Steo , a stunning bird hopefully after your care and rehab she is out there with a batch of little ones ..Job well done! 💞
Thanks Maggie 😊👍👍👍
I love raptors including the kestrel and Harris hawk and even the red tail hwak
Great watch this buddy
Thank you glad you liked it👍
What a terrific video and story, I'm so happy watching it, and amazed at your dedication to getting that gal back where she belonged...I bet it was hard to let her go, but maybe she'll meet that wandering male and set up home nearby. Great job and your music selection was the best - as if she was singing the words herself! Thanks for all your efforts!
Thank you for the kind words 😊👍👍
birds and children r amazing
That was Awesome! Thank you for helping her out to survive and get acclimated to the wild again.
Class mate done cracking job
Thanks man 👍👍
Wow, best video I've seen in years. So touching the friendship you two created. A real team. Thanks so much for documenting your journey and sharing it!
Thank you😁👍
From lost babe to full grown adult. Fabulous
Such an honor to spend time with the symbol of the God Horus
They are very smart and building trust seems to be easy. Great birds to train imo. Great video.
Birds are wonderfully smart and she surely seems to appreciate all youve done! They are amazing raptors that are absolutely necessary to the ecosystem! Also as you pointed out, that hover is definitely a great sign of good health. That's alot of power and strength for normal birds. Great indicator of overall condition! Thank you for helping this wonderful bird!
Thank you 😊👍
@@tangostalons5807 so glad you posted! Always loved Falconry! It always seemed like a great sport and I have always been fascinated by birds in general, for such a "small" brained animal they exceed every expectation of what we thought intelligence is based on. You can tell she understood what you were doing! Being she was wild to start and stayed! Amazing little birds!
@@cynaptyc my thoughts exactly i think the whole brain size = intelligence theory doesn't add up when you take a good look at bird behaviour👍
Love seeing the goshawk and Harris hawk hunting videos all over CZcams but this was probably the best video I've seen no hunting just sheer joy at watching this little kestrel and what you did for her quite emotional near the end bet its left a little hole in your life well done cracking video
Thank you very much!! It sure has it really changed my view on life😊👍👍
Do I, feel a tear in my eye?
well, mighty fine for a starter Pokemon!!!
Thanks for sharing, a pleasure to see her progress!
Thank you👍👍
from a sick bird till a bird kez turned it in 2 respect the training and time you give her best kestrel ireland she will be 100%
Thank you Tony👍👍👍
Like from morocco
wow what an amazing story you must be so proud seeing her fly off ,and feather perfect you deserve a medal the size of a bin lid well done
Thank you very much , 😊👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Very very interesting and your love towards the kestrel is outstanding.
Thank you she was a pleasure to work with👍👍
@@tangostalons5807 I have also flown kestrels they are literally fun.
Cheers from India. 🇮🇳
@@falconryandconservation9079 brilliant ! If i ever get the chance to fly one again I 150% would👍👍
That was just fab what a story we'll done to all
Thank you very much 😊👍
She's good
i have one, kestrel too
Kestrels are propably the nicest falcons, or it might be they are the small falcon and are pretty stylish.
6:35 Are we going on a trip ? Im in.
12:05 Looking at how small Kestrels are its difficult to spot them.
Wur close to robert e fullers place😂🎉❤ i love this lestrel
Thank u so much for sharing ur incredible story with us. I've smiled nonstop from start to finish, I'm sure u were sad saying goodbye but what u have accomplished is truly remarkable. Well done big lad and be proud of urself who knows maybe u 2 will meet again some day when ur out flying the goshawk. Take care God bless 😊
Thanks Jason delighted you enjoyed it! It was a epic journey and id love to get a glimpse of her one day the valley i released her was very remote and stretched out for miles and miles i sincerely hope shes doing Great 🤞👍👍
I'm sure she's doing fine and thriving well as I said b4 u have done an incredible job with her. Ur videos have really inspired me to start into the world of falconry and I'm now on the look out for a harris hawk, with the research I've done and all the books I've been reading a harris hawk is the best bird of prey for a complete novice like myself. Wish me luck 👍
You will love the versatility of the Harris they really can do it all so much fun to fly and form a strong bond with you ( there hunting partner) 👍💪💪
@@tangostalons5807 can't wait
Could the common kestrel be used to hunt thrushes or other birds?
Awesome vídeo!! Greetings from Spain.
Hey i think trush may be to big for the little kestrel but starlings yes with a lot of practise 👍
Great job helping her back to health, sadly I don't see too many kestrals nowadays
We should name her mrs.kes junior😂😂
Good Work! 👍 Thank you for putting such a amount of Time and Passion into this Kestrel🤝 small Falcons got a special Place in my Heart for ever. My first Falcon was a Kestrel Female. I think this little Falcon changed your Mind to get into your Lanneret now, im right? 🙂
Thank you and Spot on! I had so much fun just watching her fly, for me the best part of keeping birds is watching them get some Air time, and i never would have thought flying to the lure was as fun and involving as hunting! I was wrong its great😊 .. cant wait to start working with the little Lannerete soon 👍👍⏰
@@tangostalons5807 I wish you good Luck and a lot of Fun with your Lannerete✌I hope you will upload Videos of the Progress ☺ What kind of Prey did u want to hunt?
Good job TT!
It's hawking season once more, how's the gos and harris doing, are you getting ready to start hunting again?
Hey OSH i moved the Gos on to a fellow shortwinger hes now flying him at crows and knocking them dead!! Im only flying a little Lanneret i picked up during the moult.. hes a 10yr old bird and only flew to the lure in his first season then put away for 9 seasons until i picked him up.. abit of a hand full has many bad habits but flying like a rocket machine to the lure!! Hes only flying free just under 2 weeks flown every day building fitness, soon i hope to get him entered on magpies and smaller hedge birds. if i can get him to wait on doves!! Hes very small at 450g bud has some serious speed and agility so no doubt he has potential to be a devastating hedge hunter! Watch this space man 🤠👍
@@tangostalons5807
That's pretty cool, can't wait to see some video of that bird. Knowing you TT, he'll be killing in no time.👌
Just letting you know. 167 grams is a healthy weight for an American kestrel.
That’s not an American kestrel
What's antibiotic use? And treatment for injury. Please. 🙏
How does she know in training to come back to you but take the anklets off and she flies away wild again? Would she ever come back to you if you went out there and saw her?
Hey i had to keep her out longer and longer towards the end to reduce her dependability on me . So on average we started with quick flights and recalled after aprox 5 mins built up to 1 hour or so with the recall and then reward ,, towards the end i could see she was keen on ranging further away from me hovering over long grass and along hedge lines she was scanning for her own reward/food , she did stoop down from time to time after a hover i suspect she had caught a few bugs ect as she only landed for seconds at a time, on the day of release she knew the area very well and was confident in her flying skills and stamina , it helped that the days were warmer and longer she also wasnt sure of the wildlife ranger that was standing besude me so i guess she just felt the urge to head off , i did return a few times but never seen her in that area until months later when i seen a female kestrel hovering above steep hills aprox 1/2 a mile from the release location driving by one evning in my car it was impossible to tell for sure but i had butterflies in my belly hoping it was her👍
@@tangostalons5807 very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Do you watch robert E fuller s channel on you tube, he feed loads of kestrels barn owls etc and has loads of videos on them?
No i have never seen him i will have a look thanks👍
@Tangos talons I think you will enjoy mate, he also has two 24 live streams of all the nests that he has put up
I've been watching his channel for some time now - I would also recommend!
The video is good, but the repetitive music is maddening… 😂😂😂
Sorry i have no way to add different music as i do the editing on my phone👍
@@tangostalons5807 haha it’s ok, take easy. 😆😆😆
yyy
This is mrs kes.. that's why it's not return to he's babys because she got injured
Cool video but deafening music
