Hi, my name is Chad Saladin. This is my wife Chris and we watch Barragan Falcons and we just want to let everybody know that even though Barragan Falcons are off the endangered list, there's still protections out there for them. It's still illegal to disrupt an unesting bird of prey. So we just want to get that out there even though some of the wildlife laws are being lessened. We still want to educate people to be aware of that, to disturb an unburt of prey. Certainly people that love these birds can sometimes love them to death and they have to realize that there are things that you can do that can get in the way of their process, their nesting cycle and things like that. And there are certain times of just even a minor disruption or a apparent falcon nest that you find the disruption of the whole nest, it causes the fail in their nesting. And I think a huge part of it too is understanding the bird itself. A lot of people don't understand that when a bird nests on a apartment building or a building where there are people around, that that bird is going to become very aggressive at that nesting time in defense of their young and it's all protection of their young. They're not looking to attack humans, they're not dangerous to humans, but they are going to defend with everything that they have and protect their young. So a lot of people who don't understand that might become hostile towards the birds thinking that they're in danger or their animals are in danger or their dogs or something like that. You know, it's not easy to have birds around people sometimes aggressive birds like this, but it's very important to understand that they're not looking to hurt humans, they're just looking to defend their young. And also too, during when they get ready to fly, which is called the flange, you know, we try to be whenever we try to be there whenever they're ready to fly to help them. Sometimes we've had to help help them get them back up to the nest site. We don't try, we don't pick them up unless we positively have to. We like to let them work it out. So we've had cases over the years where people have harassed them when they're on the ground. One time somebody took one home. So we just like to tell people that, you know, if you see one and we're not around, just sort of get out of the way and let it work it out itself. And like Chris said, the parents would be very defensive so they could hit you and that irritates people. We had somebody in Columbus that tried to knock one out of the sky with a broom. He was on a building and they were clean and windows. And she was dying by them because the young were up there. And she was just defending them and he got out of the broom and actually hit her. So, you know, we just try to tell people to, you know, be aware of them if you're in an area where they are during the same season. So just leave them alone and just let them work it out themselves. We realize more and more that we can't always be at every site during pledging. Sometimes this pledges are coordinated and so we're going to miss some pledges. We like to be there because we like to help them out if they need help. But we usually do just watch them and if they're not in immediate danger, we let them work it out and they're really very capable of doing that. And the parents know exactly what they're doing too. They know how to get them to a spot where they're going to be safe. So there are times where, for example, we might even just be standing next to a road so that they don't head over towards the road instead of trying to pick them up. Or, you know, just maybe blocking an area that we don't want them to go into so that they don't just walk their way into danger. And there are times where it doesn't necessarily picking them up, but usually they often are able to work it out. Yeah, if they're injured, if they're obviously injured, then you can see if we're not around, if somebody's got to have a carrier or some way to get them, take them to a rehab center, we understand that. A lot of times they could just work it out themselves. You know, they're going to look to get up and get back as high as they can. It's really the best situation is to not have to intervene but to be able to be watchful of any dangers for them. And I think that's the best way to be able to help for a lot of the time.
