Definatly!

Watching kestrel's in the wild is pretty cool! We have a pair with young near
us, and a couple merlins etc.

If you want to take up falconry though - do. Join a local club, go out with
local falconers, buy books and read them. Research research research. Falconry
can be hard, upsetting, scary and pretty much dirty. But once you get past that
part and accept it - its ok. I have 2 falcons now - Saker and a Gyr/prarie.

Falconry is the best!
