Animal Ark "A Sanctuary for Life"

	Krystal Common Name: Kestrel Scientific Name: Falco sparverius Gender: Female Birth Date: Spring 1999 History: The Ark welcomes Krystal, the American kestrel. This small falcon was raised by humans resulting in a strong attachment to people. She apparently escaped from the person who raised her only to be found on the porch of someone else’s home. With the leather jesses she was wearing and friendly overtures towards people it was obvious she was strongly habituated to humans. A re-release into the wild further confirmed this when she once again flew right through the door and into another person’s home. Because of Krystal’s fondness of humans, she’s now a regular participant in our bird of prey programs.
