Video of animal rescue
Young kestrel got its leg stuck to the nest
A small kestrel was unable to fly away from its nest under a gutter in Oberweiden (Lower Austria) - because plastic threads were wrapped around the young animal's leg. Florianis rescued the unlucky bird and brought it to the Haringsee owl and bird of prey station.
An attentive local resident from Oberweiden in the district of Gänserndorf noticed the unsuccessful attempts of a young kestrel to fly out of its nest. After a closer look, it was clear that the young bird was stuck to the nest by its leg. Plastic threads were wrapped around it.
The concerned resident contacted the Haringsee Owl and Bird of Prey Station (EGS) run by Vier Pfoten. EGS manager Dr. Hans Frey took a look at the situation himself and alerted the Oberweiden fire department. They rushed to the rescue with ten men and two vehicles.
Injured kestrel was sitting alone in the nest
Frey climbed to the nest with the long fire department ladder and freed the falcon. "The poor bird already had a wound from being strangled and a bone was broken. But thank God the toes are still all supplied with blood. It was just a bit starved," says Frey.
Stuck for weeks
According to the local resident, the falcon's parents were still feeding the little one, but they were coming less and less often. A sibling had already flown out about three weeks ago.
The little kestrel is now being nursed back to health at the Haringsee Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary. It has had a tight bandage wrapped around its wound and is being cared for and fed until it can hopefully be released back into the wild.
