Swallow-tailed kite returns to South Florida after winter migration

MSNWPTV NewsChannel 5 West Palm Beach,FL

A juvenile swallow-tailed kite was recently brought to FWH after it was discovered to have plastic wrapped around its legs. It was very young and unable to be re-nested. Our staff noticed it wouldn’t eat from the bowls, so they slowly started stacking the food higher up, and sure enough, the kite started eating just fine! We transferred it to the Avian Reconditioning Center, where they specialize in swallow-tailed kites. Once it’s old enough they will release it back into the wild! #FloridaWildl

Recently, we were happy to release this Swallow-tailed Kite back into their natural habitat! Our facility does not receive any government funding, so we need your help to allow us to keep helping Florida's raptors! Wildlife rehabilitation is a team effort, exemplified by this Swallow-tailed Kite that was transferred to our facility. The kite needed extensive care and resources, which we were able to supply! Although having no severe flesh or skeletal injuries, this kite had heavily damaged feath

⚠️Rare Patient Intake⚠️ This Swallow-Tailed Kite was found in Plantation Florida on the ground by a tree. The rescuers discovered that it was lethargic and brought it into our center. When it arrived, our veterinary staff found that it was extremely dehydrated and short of breath. We rarely see these birds of prey this far south but that is a great sign for the biodiversity of our local ecosystem. If you find a sick, injured or orphaned animal in the wild give us a call at 954-524-4302, we are o

Around August, they make their return trip. In the mornings, they show off impressive aerial acrobatics as they forage over agricultural fields, fattening up on insects for the long journ
