It swooped to grab a piece of meat I used to bait a rat on a rat trap and got trapped on its leg. I had forgotten to bring the trap in the night before yesterday so while playing game yesterday afternoon, I kept hearing incessant flapping of wings and I thought it was the usual two birds fighting. Didn't cease for almost half an hour so upon deciding to shuu shuu the fighters in front of my flat, I was surprised to find out it was a trapped falcon.
I managed but got a beak poke while freeing it from the trap, put it in a carton for a few hrs before I transferred it to my laundry basket.
The problem was all effort to feed it yesterday was a failure. Didn't eat my meat or fish. It'll only grab it and drop it.
I didn't want it dying in my hands so I freed it today but it doesn't want to fly maybe cos of lack of energy. I don't know though.
Even as I type this, it's still in front of my flat

It got exhausted from it's futile attempts at escape. These birds are mostly carnivores.
Once it's regained some energy, it should fly away. You can trap a small rat or lizard (live) and put into an enclosure with the bird.

use it to make peppersoup

In as much as I love animals, these raptors aren't something u can just handle like after all its just a bird. I get your idea but on the contrary, since I've let it free, it should be able to gather a little energy and go for a lizard. I've got an injury on my right fore finger trying to free it in the first place.

The second and third pix was taken this morning. As u can see, it's already a free bird and like I said, doesn't want to fly just yet.
I stay around ijaye but work at ogba

can i pls have it? please

@OP, get in touch with @wildeji on twitter. He is an animal behaviorist, and i know for a fact that he has handled quite a few raptors. That bird will do better with mice than the fish and meat you offered.

Op free the bird jawe It might die living wit u My opinion tho

What is the point of him caging a bird he can not get to eat sir?? Also, it sounds like there is a broken wing to be dealt with.

Sir, no broken wings at all. Just some trickles of blood on its feet where it got trapped.
My guess is it's too weak to fly

Please try not to give to someone who will sell it on or keep it as a 'pet', it should be out there in the wild once fully nursed back to health. You have done well bro..

I really do appreciate your praise but be that as it may, I think it came across an animal maybe a lizard yesterday. I'm not sure though but we saw traces of blood in front of our compound which indicates the fella must have preyed on an unlucky animal.
The good thing is, I was going to call that number above me before we realised the bird must have gathered momentum from the Lil energy it got from her kill and flew back to her world.
We didn't see it again since yesterday afternoon

Humans don’t fly and yet still don’t like/enjoy being caged/imprisoned. Sky-diving feels like flying and it’s an amazing experience. For a raptor like this that not just flies, but soars amongst the clouds, you can’t imagine how tortuous this feels. Pls, let it go.

I would offer 20k for your falcon

That's a kestrol mate
