A sparrowhawk crashed into the window of the owl a little over a week ago. He hit his head on the glass, got swelling under his eye and stayed with us until his health stabilized.
Today it's time to release him, he has fully recovered.
In the morning I gave him two day-old chickens, which he immediately ate, and around eleven o'clock in the afternoon we released him.
The hawk can stay in the area of our village, or it can fly somewhere else, where it is warmer or where there is more food.
The young sparrowhawk is not tied to the territory.
We handed him a green plastic ring so that he could be recognized if anything happened. Unfortunately, I do not have a metal ornithological ring with markings of the right size.
