Two kestrel chicks reunited with nest in Beijing

Recently, the Beijing Raptor Rescue Center rescued two common kestrel chicks from different sources, only to find out they were from the same nest outside a residential building in Fengtai district. Both chicks accidentally fell from their nest and were fortunately saved by kind-hearted locals. On Friday, the rescue center happily reunited the chicks with their nest.

The common kestrel is a common small raptor species in Beijing that plays an important role in maintaining environmental health, ecological balance and controlling rodent and insect populations.

All raptors are second-class or higher protected animals in China. With the arrival of summer, if you encounter fallen chicks, please contact professional rescue organizations.
