These little kestrels don't waste any time switching places. One is in and one is out. I can't wait to see these chicks and wish I knew when hatch time was.
Published on Apr 26, 2014 By Leo Ceelen Het mannetje torenvalk verorberde vandaag maar liefst 5 muizen recht voor de camera die bij z'n favoriete paal staat. In dit filmpje heeft hij een nog levende muis.
I used Google translate and this is what that says: The male kestrel devoured today no less than five mice in front of the camera with his favorite pile. In this movie, he has a living mouse.
Pop I don't see how any of them are going to go hungry in this nest. I watched off and on today and it looks like they are getting fed about every 20-30 minutes. I wish we could see all the way inside the box because it looks like the pantry is stacked along the right side wall with frequent deliveries adding to the stash. The babies are funny with their mouths open wide for a bite of food no matter if they're facing away from the parent or not. Their eyes are open but I wonder if they can see right now? Every thing is fast forward with these kestrels. Feed fast, warm them up fast, jump up and fly out of the box fast, back inside fast, settle down on the babies fast. I'm surprised they were able to sit on the eggs long enough to hatch them!
This is a great video showing catching and feeding.
Surely these chicks can't see yet even tho their eyes are open? Can they? I've tried to find some info on this but haven't had any luck so far. They act like they have no idea where the food is and just open their mouth and wait for it no matter which way they are sitting.
