So i took it inside and placed it in a box.It was a scared and tricky young fellow;once it played dead in order to escape although being unable to fly yet . I was feeding it uncooked chicken liver and every day i was leaving it free in the room to see whether it was strong enough to fly. After a couple of weeks it managed to fly so i let it free.To my surprise it flew for about few minutes and then it returned to my office and got inside through the opened door. So i kept it for two more weeks trying every day to let it go to the wild .Finally at the end of the second week it proudly flew for good this time .
I have posted a photo above.


No photo mate :?


In the UK papers on sunday, I think it was, two twitchers (bird watchers) saw a very rare bird. As they watched a hawk came down a took it..... :shock:

Oracle, I was thinking along the same lines as you and then someone said if it has been reared from a chick it won't know how to hunt? I think I will see what it is like in a couple of weeks (if it lives) and maybe could get it to that Sanctuary Tim mentioned. I will keep you all posted!!
