ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Mother kestrel returns
The adult female returns with food for her chicks to find a new chick is in the nest and there is chaos as the foundling chick immediately snatches the meal she has caught for her own young from her! Watch this mother's reaction! Instead of becoming aggressive, as you might expect, she seems to circle the new chick as if trying to work out what on earth this is.
Feeding time
Then she spends some time trying to get the food back from this hungry chick. Once she has it she continues to carefully break pieces off for her own young, meanwhile the foster chick tears off chunks from the kill and eventually the elder of the adult kestrel's natural chicks piles in and also begins to feed for itself- leaving mother kestrel to feed the youngest one. Incredible!
