On June 21st, Martin was called out to check on a young Kestrel Falcon in a person's yard. Upon arrival, Martin saw the nest nearby. Based on the size and age of the Kestrel, Martin knew the parents were still around to care for the young one. In this case, the Kestrel was in no danger and knowing he was all right, the home owner's were happy to share their home and leave him be.

Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah Dear Mr & Mrs Tyner: I’m a lifelong animal lover (turned 60 this April) with a background in veterinary assistance. I live in a very rural area in Northern California and would appreciate any advice on who to contact in my state regarding becoming legal to work with birds of prey. Thanks in advance, and many thanks for all the good you do for these wild beauties!
I recently put up a nest box designed for Kestrels. It was too late for this year's breeding season but I hope to get a pair next year. Years ago I had a 'relationship' with a kestrel outside my home. First time I saw it, I was on my way home. When I saw him on the telephone wire, I turned around to the near by pet store and bought a small mouse and let it go in my yard. It went for it after I went into the house. After 2 more times of seeing him and going to the pet store for a mouse, it recognized my van and would fly in front of me to let me know he was there. I would go get another mouse. This would happen about once or twice a week for a couple of months. Then I stopped seeing it. It was nice while it lasted.
Hi again MARTIN &SUSAN Awww that's a little guy! Wouldn't have guessed it was a falcon. Interesting facts Martin. Amazes me how much you know about so many types of birds! Cool beans! Have a feeling some of that will come in handy down the way! Thx as always...
Hello l just love what you do it's beautiful I'm going to get the money to get your book in the near future for my children because I'd love to shear your story with them an there family to come God bless you and your loved ones 🙏💜✝️
Had a falcon that used to live in the trees right near my house in Florida. Every so often you hear shrieks and look out and there would be the falcon sitting on a branch feasting on a pigeon it had caught in the air. Some days there were pigeon heads and body parts all over the yard!
If we call our local police dispatch, the message tells you to hang up and call 911. When you do, 911 gets you to the police dispatch or fire dept depending on the emergency. Thanks for the video!
We had to take eastern cottontails out of the pond a couple weeks ago (ornamental pond with large stones all the way around.) The first one was sitting next to the waterfall soaking wet. We found 9, two sets of babies. We put them in the large lilies about 5 feet away because we have a couple of red tails that like to hunt there. Its a fenced courtyard so they were relatively safe. Only seen one as of late. I wish i didnt have to touch them but it was better than finding them floating.
Martin, is it a bad sign when one of these little guys is willing to sit on your hand of his own volition? Because when I had to move one to get it away from a cat, it was content to just sit there on my glove, and took some coaxing to get into a tree.
Yeah, I was a bit of a dope the other day on the way to work and without thinking it through called 911 to ask who to call. She was very nice and put me through to local police. A young porcupine was walking in circles on the road. And no, I wasn't going to get out of my car. I couldn't tell if it had been hit and did wonder if rabies might cause that.
what kind of a bird , some of my utah friends call them , nighthawks,,,you see them at night in car headlights grabbing bugs?wondering if it may be a kestrel..thank you😀
@@GowildlifeOrg Which circumstances these are? I can't say I've seen all your videos but in those that I did you never talked about that. Would be nice if you could mention it in next QA or some summary chats
Hey Martin, I live in Kolkata India and a super cyclone amphan hit a couple of weeks back, lots of trees and thus nests were destroyed, I rescued a tiny blue throated barbet that was grounded and being attacked by crows. I need some help with the little fellow, would be glad if I could get some advice. It basically lost all its tail feathers thanks to the crows and had an injured left leg so it wasnt able to perch initially. The leg has since healed, but its tail feathers are growing very slowly, just a tuft in two weeks. I shall gladly provide pictures and more information, please help. Thanks, and god bless you for dedicating your life to avians, I have learnt so much thanks to the little one in the past couple of weeks, and wow was I amazed at how different they are to raise as versus cats or dogs. Looking forward to your reply.
If you see a fledgling covered in mites . Was it ok for me to pick it up and treat it and then let it go . It was only with me for several days. I educated my self how to treat the bird from mites and he was mite free in few days .
If the baby is outside with my dogs running around? My dogs eat birds. They kill em and then EAT them. What do I do when I see baby fledlings on the ground then?
HI today i have found a falkon that very injured and his paw cut i don,t know how many time cut his paw that dry abd seperate from the leg so he very difficult to stand his one feet and he is not to stand any high places and catch the pray so we are worry about that how to possible that this falcon stand his feet and look fresh and healthy so i look on the u tube your channal and i need to help u i m from pakistan thanks
I'm in my 60s and have watched wildlife/nature shows since childhood. How come you are the first to tell me this important info? That it's not uncommon for a grounded bird to be a fledgling that will be taken care of by it's parents. How come? Anyways, thanks.
Martin I have always admired what you do and think u are wonderful but in this case I did not agree with your decision to leave the baby kestrel in the middle of that persons yard. The lady told you several times that the baby was being attacked by other birds, pecked at constantly. The couple said they called you there for that reason, or else they would have just left him alone. I hope the poor cute guy is ok☹️
Please don’t take this the wrong way but I’m beginning to think that it isn’t Martin or Sue that responds to people’s comments. Nothing against them cuz I love to watch their videos. But sometimes I will ask Martin a question or something and the response back isn’t something he would say. Just curious 😊
most wild animals, unless things are obviously wrong, don't actually need your help. 99% of the time, just leaving them alone is the way to go. and that 1% of the time, good luck trying to help them anyway!

Best to inquire among sources in your area

That is a great story. Really cool
what a sweetie... love these little kestrels
They definitely have their appeal!
Beautiful house, scenery and what a beautiful bird.
Thank you Felipe, we appreciate your interest
He's adorable! His eyes are huge!
I absolutely thought the same thing! Precious.
Agreed!

Hi CC, been a lot of years learning about so many birds!
Gorgeous little bird. I was lucky enough to film a wee House Finch leaving the nest and taking a cruise around our bird bath before taking off.
Sounds like quite a treat!
Thank you, love them both. So beautiful.
Martin, Love your channel and what you do.Thank you so much.
Thank you Carl, that is nice to hear!
I learn something new everytime I watch! Thank you sir!
Thanks Tom, that is great to hear
What a beautiful Kestrel
Agreed!
Lovely little creature. Thank you 💚
Agreed!
Thank you sir . That was very educational. I learn something every time i watch.
Good to hear, thank you
Love you guys.
Thank you for your interest
Love all your explanations - makes your channel so special and educational.
Thank you for your interest, education is very important to us
Hello l just love what you do it's beautiful I'm going to get the money to get your book in the near future for my children because I'd love to shear your story with them an there family to come God bless you and your loved ones 🙏💜✝️
Thank you, we appreciate your interest
@3:36 Right upper corner, maybe parent flyby? Young ones getting ready, a good sign 👍👍👍.
Good catch. I bet that was the parents!
Hope so!
Cute lite baby.😃

Wild is wild!
How great is that! Lucky you - pigeons are real pests and impossible to get rid of.
Cute little guy!
Agreed!

It's difficult in some areas...

It's not easy in the wild
Hes probably thinking he's a goner, lol

Exactly, sometimes until it happens, many just don't know quite what to do.
Awesow!
what kind of a bird , some of my utah friends call them , nighthawks,,,you see them at night in car headlights grabbing bugs?wondering if it may be a kestrel..thank you😀
Hey Martin, I was curious why you never attempt to transplant feathers? Wildlife Aid over there in UK did quite a few sucessfull feather transplants.
It's a very old and very common falconry practice, but can only be used in certain circumstances.
@@GowildlifeOrg Which circumstances these are? I can't say I've seen all your videos but in those that I did you never talked about that. Would be nice if you could mention it in next QA or some summary chats

The tail feathers take a while to grow back. Im sure Martin will tell you when he sees this.
You are welcome to contact us directly at info@gowildlife.org
Did not know the parents would still continue to feed chicks on the ground! 1st instinct is to "rescue"! Good to know, refrain and observe.
Hello, first of all nice work you're doing. But I wonder what's wrong with this peregrine at the end of the video? Could you tell me please
Her vision is very bad.
@@GowildlifeOrg Okay thank you. Was my second guess
“Helen“, now I found her. Beautiful girl at all
Curious if anyone can ID the bird flying behind Martin @3:37? It looks like it has a red breast and a long tail... Kestrel? Robin?
Was he playing dead?
If you see a fledgling covered in mites . Was it ok for me to pick it up and treat it and then let it go . It was only with me for several days. I educated my self how to treat the bird from mites and he was mite free in few days .
If the baby is outside with my dogs running around? My dogs eat birds. They kill em and then EAT them. What do I do when I see baby fledlings on the ground then?
Best to seek out local help
Doesn't it now have the "human" smell on him so will be pecked by parent birds and other birds?
Most birds don't have much of a sense of smell. It's more about human intrusion that they will flee from.
@@GowildlifeOrg Thanks!

Southwest Wildlife: Hi babe, how you doing?
Baby American kestrel? ???
I'm in my 60s and have watched wildlife/nature shows since childhood. How come you are the first to tell me this important info? That it's not uncommon for a grounded bird to be a fledgling that will be taken care of by it's parents. How come? Anyways, thanks.
We're sorry to hear that.
Has pin feathers
3:36 kestrel incoming
Falcons are like mini hawks?
There are similarities but lots of differences too.

Won't the ants try to eat him?
Everyone has to deal with insects doing their thing, birds gotta battle them too.
Important message, not to pick up baby birds that are still being looked after by their parents.
Probably as fiesty as cute.
Agreed!
