Faunsdale, AL | Chicken necks pounded with a hammer for them. when they are little they need help tearing off chunks. Doing things like leaving silo doors open a crack etc help even though they can fly straight up or down the chute if they have access to the bottom.
Real young ones imprint on whatever feeds them. When they are grown they can be frightening with the talons and beak if they have no caution about humans. I would leave them where they are unless they are in danger from preditors. If you have to move them then don't move far so parents find them. Went through that with some redtails this spring. They were on the ground and one was gone the next day when I went back to check on them. Caught and fed the other one and left it on a branch above head high. Next day it had been eaten by something. Nature is hard sometimes.
Wildlife laws do not allow keeping the raptors in captivity without a permit, so I would avoid that kind of intervention. | |
