Description
Next up in the "Birds of Prey" show is our Kestrel. Here's the question for you. Is a Kestrel in the Hawk or Falon family?He is very skittish and nervous around the crowd, always "bobbing" his head, measuring things up with this action to see where he could go.
The answer is....Falon! Give yourself a pat on the back if you got it right!

I am going to guess the Falon family. It looks so small it's cute, is it full gorwn?

Yes, you are correct! They are in the falcon family. Yes, it is full grown. Kestrels are very small, yet they are still birds of prey.

I agree; I think this little one's very cute! This is as big as they get too.
