haven't posted on here for a while, the falconry centre I used to volenteer at shut in september. and the birds were all moved on. My favourite bird a european kestrel went to a new home, as it turned out her new home didn't work out and her previous owner needed a new home for her in a hurry, i was asked and jumped at the chance, I now have a very busy week building a weathering, she is currently on a block in the garden when i'm at home (tethered in my lounge when I'm not) and boxed at night. I will continue to box her at night while the weather is cold. so much to get though, If anyone has an indoor block they can sell me let me know, mines not up to much.

she looks a bit scruffy in the pic but that was just after she arrived and before a good dust bath and preen
