The first group of six falcons was treated against parasites and marked with ID rings. The Sakers were placed in one of the four adaptation aviaries prepared for the upcoming field season by the Green Balkans team of "Saker Falcon Reintroduction in Bulgaria" project.
The birds will stay in their aviary for several weeks until they have grown their adult feathers and have gotten accustomed to their surroundings. In the meantime, they will be monitored daily and fed twice a day by the project's field experts.
We wish good luck with the field activities of the project and we hope that this year like in the previous 12 we will have a successful season with many Saker Falcon chicks released into the wild.
The project "Saker Falcon Reintroduction in Bulgaria" is funded by the Mohamed Bin Zayed Raptor Conservation Fund and Armeec JSC.
