FLYNN, American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)
History: Flynn was found in someone's garden on the ground and brought to Chintimini. He was emaciated, had balance problems, fractured radius and ulna in his left wing and damaged talons on both feet. While recuperating it became evident that he was non-releasable, and he joined the education bird program.
He received intensive in-house training for several weeks from one of our volunteers. He adapted well to the program and has a cute personality.
The name "Flynn" means "Irish Ruddy Warrior".

Admission Date: August 2009
