The kestrels

All the kestrels in my gallery, and more, can be found at Falconcrest

The kestrels are very closely related to Falcons, I call them mini-falcons. They are cheerful birds, easy to tame, and always a pleasure to be busy with.

My Kestrel Photo Gallery

The kestrels are always a pleasure to be with, they appear cute and cuddly (don't be fooled). They accept human company, but like the snow owls, can be very stubborn if they want too. They are cheerfull birds that always appear happy to see me and feeling is mutual.
