Ta-Ta, Tootsie and tea






Of course this is my favourite place in the whole wide world with Ta-Ta. Here is Ta-Ta with another bird of prey - this one is a female kestrel called Tootsie - she has damaged her tail feathers so she cannot steer and also some primary feathers are damaged. One of her talons is missing and she has a broken toe. She is a little bit underweight but is full of life. She eats mice (yum), beetles (yuck) and worms (double yuck). At the moment she eats day old chicks (treble yum). Mike is going to make her some anklets so she can have detachable jesses.
