@@janetfitzgerald5794 Yes. Although, to be fair, female raptors are usually a good bit larger than the males. And he was told off when he didn't feed her!
I'm a fan of kestrels and corvids, so I find it hard to root for either one against the other. Bird fights are brutal. If only our feathered companions would agree to a time-share arrangement! Robert, thank you for sharing your extraordinary wildlife documentaries with us! ❤
Couldn't agree more. All birds are special to me, and their conflicts are just a part of life that we don't even need to weigh in our minds. They're all majestic.
I had a kestrel just outside my window, on a fence rail, about 8 months ago. What a joy! It was about 6-7 feet away. He stayed just long enough for me to run for my binocs and get a close-up view. WOW.
These videos are really high quality Robert. I just want to let you know how much i appreciate the effort you put into these videos because they are just amazing and enthralling.
Thank you Robert. Athena trapping Apollo in the nest appears to be saying, "How would YOU like it?" It is sad to see the LACK of trees on the fence lines of the paddocks, not only for birds & windbreaks, but other creatures on the ground & their prey of lizards, etc. Trees are important in soil retention. I truly wish folks would support the Environment & her creatures. In Australia it is so difficult to get folk to provide & replenish water resources/sources & plant canopy & shrubberies, etc. for our wildlife & domestic creatures.
When Apollo comes home empty-handed (empty-beaked?) and Athena presses him back-to-the-wall, delivering a long monologue about how she feels, it all seems like such an uncanny slice of human life.
❤❤ I’m from New Jersey I love seeing your videos it gives me a window of wildlife I would never be able to see and enjoy what beautiful land you have I think you
A lot more facts and insight into other species this video. I really like this format. Is it possible to keep doing this for future videos? Amazing camera work and commentary as always.
What wonderful videos and narration! They are very professional, and desire wide distribution. I accidentally tumbled across your channel after watching a pair of golden eagles at Bear Lake, in the US, and I am so glad to have found it. Thank you for your hard work.
For anyone wondering just how intelligent a Jackdaw is, my encounter with one says it all. I am a roofer, I was working on a metal roof of a leisure centre when a Jackdaw flew down to about 20 feet from us and was watching us intensely. It then began to edge closer and closer. Once it firgure we werent a threat, it began to perch on my arm and and knee when i sat down. Here the crazy part, we were taking screws out of the old roof using molegrips, this Jackdaw decided it wanted to help, so it jumped onto the roof, went to the screws and started to trying to unwind the screws with its beak, and kept doing it anti clockwise!! It knew the direction it had to go! Never went clockwise! It ran along the line testing each one. It was remarkable. It followed me around and sat on my shoulder as i went down to my van, and flew off when we had to drive off. I'll never forget it, such a clever little bird
Wow, that sounds just fascinating! Who would have thought it knows about screw directions!😵. They have proven to be very intelligent indeed & it would perhaps benefit us to do more research into the hows and whys.
BEAUTIFUL, SAD, CRUEL, NEW LIFE, INTERESTING, THAT BIRDS SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN, THAT HALF OF THE BRAINS ARE AWAKE THEN, AND THE FIGHTS. WHAT A STORY OF A KESTREL, ATHENA IS A COURAGEOUS WOMAN, NEVER AFRAID OF THE ENEMY, A FANTASTIC MAM FOR HER CHICKS WHO WOULD GIVE HER LIFE FOR THEM. MAGNIFICENT FILM, THANK YOU Mr FULLER, BUT I ALSO WANT TO SEE THE SECOND PART.👍👍💛💚💛🌹🌿🌾
Robert, I appreciate your films very much. Your caring for the variety of birds is totally awesome. You give people an insight to a world that most people don't know about. The way you give information about these awesome lives, is easy to absorb and understand. Thank you so much for the time and knowledge you give. Lydia from N.Carolina, USA
It's amazing what you do, your love and respect for wildlife! And you let us see how hard life is for all these species, but also how strong they are when it comes to defend their nests an offsprings. And what breathtaking landscapes. It reminds me of those where they show cropcircles. YT has just shown me your videos and I fell in love with them, can't stop watching them. Thank you so much for sharing. Bye from the city of Bs. As., here in the middle of a scorching summer( Feb.1st,24).🦉🐣🐥💞🙋♀️🇦🇷😘
Another awesome film re the beginnings and creations of life. So grandly documented also, which is the only version you know. lol! Thank you once again for another masterpiece ❣
It’s going to be a beautiful day starting it off with one of your videos. It’s such a hard life for all wildlife to survive and thrive, thanks for bringing this to our attention (plus the most interesting fact of their sleeping trick) and ending it with a good outcome. 🙏🏻🥰
Robert: thank you for these exciting & informative videos. Apollo means business with those Jackdaws in her nesting area, & it was so funny when she was scolding Apollo over her lack of food! I had the opportunity to witness a pair of Mourning Doves take turns "building" a nest in a flower pot I placed up high under the eaves at the place where I previously resided. They took turns brooding once eggs appeared...a clutch of 2 each time. They took turns getting food like the Kestrels. They ended up with 10 young that one season. Each time they fledged, they pecked at each other's beaks as they were so excited. So wonderful to see this. Thank you!!
My word, life is brutal for wildlife....soooo interesting to watch this video, for me it's one of the best knes you've produced Robert. Well done to you and to our beloved wildlife ❤
You're show really inspired my mom to set up native bird nest spots on her homestead. She's been allready turning the lot next to hers into a mini wildlife sanctuary, planted with near all native plants for her bees an the wild ones, a lot of plants that have more or less been stripped away where she lives. Since she's letting the giant lot grow over she decided why not set up boxes an hollows on her property. She's allready noticed the crazy amounts of hummingbirds, butterflies and her first barn own couple took the hallow atop an old growth tree. An she's been seeing two hawks frequent her front yard a lot so she's hoping they might be pleased enough with the set up to nest there or close by. It's really neat. Ill keep ya posted with updates on the stead of you want to know. Thank you for making the videos that you do an helping out the wildlife.
Oh that’s great to hear A bit of effort can help wildlife so much and in turn give’s much pleasure and enjoyment seeing the difference it makes 😁 send my regards to your mum
I loved watching how these 2 kestrels overcame adversity, the hidden camera has certainly captured all of life's ups and downs in a kestrel nest the egg laying is a 1st for me something iv never seen b4 .1more event that' the cameras caught was the bringing back of live prey Superb footage.Love to see more.😃👍
Robert, I came across your channel a few days ago and I must say I was Pleasantly surprised. The first one I watched was on the kestrels and it looked like the mother was to tressed out from fighting the intruders and owls off she never returned and the male took over. What a incredible story. Love the channel 👀forward to watching the rest 👍
When I saw the first image of the baby kestrel, it remind me of the rebirth of the phoenix in Harry Potter. 😊 Nature is beautiful but rough. Beautiful video, thanks.
This is where I come to take a break from all the ugliness that is U.S. politics right now. I'm so grateful for your dedication and passion for birds. Thank you.
Hi Robert, this was beautiful! Can you tell us why Athena leaves the nest every time Apollo brings her food. Does she eat it elsewhere to keep from attracting predators to the nest? Does she eat it right away? Does she perhaps go and hide it? Thank you!
Kestrels and most other birds of prey eat away from the nest yes not to attract attention to predators and to keep the nest clean as possible She will eat the food on a branch or on the ground and they do have places they stash food too
9:21 and how did the stick get arched like that, Mr Fuller 😂😂😂 jk, thank you so much for all the incredible work you do for these beautiful birds… the world is much appreciative ❤

Spicy Athena and sweet Apollo. They are one of my fav kestrel couples ❤
Me too you have to love Athena’ spirited nature
Hi Robert. Wow, what a fight. Kestrels are amazing. Apollo is quite the man.
Yes, Apollo is quite the man, BUT it was Athena that pinned that jackdaw down😂

Thank you, for your work, Robert!! I work with a male kestrel, educational ambassador, at Green Chimneys Wildlife Center. Love them 💕
Wonderful stuff. The early morning drone shots of mist filled hollows are superb.
Thank you.
Darn Jackdaws!!! Apollo and Athena are the ultimate team.
Jackdaws are genuinely so scary.
Jackdaws are killers and scary
well kestrels probably hunt jackdaws chicks so no surprise there
We need a jackdaw ep. So far they have just been villians
My heart pounds at the sight of those fights ❤…..incredible narration and footage as always, thanks Robert xxxx
Your stories are magical. Wondrous! Thank you! ❤
So schöne, interessante Aufnahmen! Ich kann mich gar nicht satt sehen. Herzlichen Dank.
When Apollo comes home empty-handed (empty-beaked?) and Athena presses him back-to-the-wall, delivering a long monologue about how she feels, it all seems like such an uncanny slice of human life.
Right? I even reeled kinda out of place seeing this? Because of how similar it is to us.
They sure go through a lot. Thank you.
Throughly enjoyed That thank you.
Thank you very much!
❤❤ I’m from New Jersey I love seeing your videos it gives me a window of wildlife I would never be able to see and enjoy what beautiful land you have I think you
Amazing shots of the lives of these beautiful birds
A lot more facts and insight into other species this video. I really like this format. Is it possible to keep doing this for future videos? Amazing camera work and commentary as always.
Thank you for your feedback, I want to educate my viewers as much as possible, so something I will definitely look at doing more of
I agree! I never even knew kestrels existed before this channel, so it's been great learning more 😊
@@FatShorkI was very interested in medieval life in high school so I knew that the aristocracy used kestrels for hunting.
Me too! It's was wonderful to get to learn more and contrast one behavior with another from different species, thank you!
I have to say birds have very serious intrusions. Never would have thought. Geez. Hopefully all goes well with them. ❤
How wonderful Robert, I enjoy your videos much, I'm creating a Robert Fuller playlists
Wonderful video! If I was that kind of person, I’d be envious of the pleasure you get from your work. Everyone should be so lucky❣️
What wonderful videos and narration! They are very professional, and desire wide distribution. I accidentally tumbled across your channel after watching a pair of golden eagles at Bear Lake, in the US, and I am so glad to have found it. Thank you for your hard work.
Ty for sharing sharing..excellent as always 🎉
Oh my gosh, I have never seen this before! This is just so beautiful to see Apollo and his wife, Athena!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ Absolutely amazing!!!
They really are a great pair - such characters.

Sounds amazing experience it might have been hand raised by humans but living wild
They’re so smart
Wow, that sounds just fascinating! Who would have thought it knows about screw directions!😵. They have proven to be very intelligent indeed & it would perhaps benefit us to do more research into the hows and whys.
@dannesys Yeah, that's what shocked us the most, it watched so intently it even knew the direction! I've never looked at them the same since then.
Hi, Robert! I love this couple very much!!😍
Thank you for this amazing video, and expecting the next one!!

Absolutely tremendous viewing, that is brilliant, much appreciated, thanks
Fantastic to see these Kestrels story.❤
Ohhhh... interesting to see that Jenny met Athena o-o wise bird not to tangle with her..
Excited for the new season ^^
Im so glad Jenny didn't try it too 😮
I thought she was respectful like “oh it’s occupied” and just left without a scuffle. It was interesting to see for sure.
It's amazing what you do, your love and respect for wildlife!

I think this is so lovely, thank you for sharing this. ❤

Another awesome film re the beginnings and creations of life. So grandly documented also, which is the only version you know. lol! Thank you once again for another masterpiece ❣
Someone has to do a compilation of all the times Athena has trapped Apollo to scold him over the years 😂
Good idea 👍 we will take a look
I love your videos. The Kestrels and Owls are beautiful birds. Thank you for sharing these
Glad you like them!
Absolutely fantastic content !!

Saya sangat menikmati video anda. Amazing
When I saw the first image of the baby kestrel, it remind me of the rebirth of the phoenix in Harry Potter. 😊
Nature is beautiful but rough.
Beautiful video, thanks.
I can’t get mad a jack daws any more they do what nature tells them so intelligent
Why does it feel like im watching an epic action movie. So invested in it.
😃 glad you enjoyed the kestrels

Lol, I thoroughly enjoy how Apollo tries to be the "man" but ends up kinda of being a klutz. Reminds me of myself when I play that card. 🤣
This was marvelous..!

Thanks ☺️
Such COURAGE!

Reading these comments makes me feel hopeful for the future. God bless!
This is where I come to take a break from all the ugliness that is U.S. politics right now. I'm so grateful for your dedication and passion for birds. Thank you.
I’ve been binge watching this channel since the election, it restores some of my faith in humanity… at least in the UK, America is f’d 🙄
Such amazing footage!
Kestrals are awesome!
Thank you!! Beautiful!!!
jenny's so polite to athena, just leaving her be instead of starting a scuffle over the nest!
