American Kestrels - Italy / Birdcam (Rebecca)
carly:
Rebecca is giving the chicks a feeding with one of the specimens left for her :D
The Peregrine Chick:
Pretty little bird that Rebecca ... cute chicks too ...
maggieblue:
Rebecca has been snuggled up to her sleeping brood for a while now. Nice to see.
The Peregrine Chick:

Do all birds thermoregulate at the same stage - 10 days?
Rebeccas is there now looking after them and probably wondering where are the food came from ;)
--- End quote ---
Don't know enough about European Kestrels to say for sure if their thermoregulate age is the same as peregrines - they are larger than our kestrels and merlins but not so large as our peregrines as I recall. I would think just based on body mass, its pretty close though. I will see what I can find out though ...
maggieblue:
I think that I am the one who is worse than a fussy mom. ;D I am always worried when I see very young chicks alone for long periods which is why I have been translating their forum for a few days. The temperature must have been right for the chicks for the last couple of days as they have been on their own for most of the time and survived. I saw Rebecca come back at dusk yesterday. The chicks were obviously hungry, mouths open and one pecking at her. Eventually she just bundled them all underneath her for the night. :(
