Kestrel: "he's just standing there.... MENACINGLY"

[Ravenholm]

Kestrels are the kittens of the raptor world. Tiny, adorable, killing machines.

"you cannot sleep now, there's a birb nearby"

[smn]

He is completely unaware of how insanely adorable he is lol

Cooper’s hawk:
“I hear you talking shit over there, you little bastard.” 😂

[entitledbobcat]

I love how his little tail is just going “bap bap bap”

[sunla]

This is like my chickens. They notice things easily that I would never be able to see on my own. They also have different alarm calls for different threats. "Cat in the yard" is different from "hawk spotted", etc. Birds are smart!

[paladingeorge]

Thats the most adorable warning call I have ever heard.

Every car needs airbags, collision avoidance and a kestrel-powered danger warning system.

[Susan_R]

Many parrots will do that if they think of you as a flock member. They'll even bite you to "take flight."
Birds are so cool!

Bird: *sees predator*
Bird: SQUEAKY TOY MODE *ENGAGE*

[FarmerFpv]

He stomps his feet when he squeaks. He does the Nala Stomps. 😂 What a cute little guy, lol.

Falconry 101: ALWAYS look where the bird looks

[cierrafriend]

He's so cute! Its so sweet of him to let you know about the hawk! He cares so much for your safety 😂❤

[DLCoates]

I love the fact that you can hear another kestrel responding with the same warning call in the distance.

[CharlieApples]

Kestrels are so cute it’s easy to forget they’re predators. They’re like the first evolution of a falcon Pokémon 😭💕

[SakuraMoonflower]

Warning of danger, they make a squeaky toy sound... Such adorable menace. 😂❤🎉

[deetigerhoover]

It sounds like a squeaky toy when it makes the alarm call. It's gorgeous.

[juiceloose]

He forgot to mention they're freaking adorable. 💕💕

Kestrels are one of the few raptors that if you have extensive training and know the bird's personality you can rest it on your bare arm. By comparison the Great Horned Owl and Bald Eagle can pierce a rawhide leather glove and break bones in your hand.
