Luke is an imprinted American Kestrel. He was illegally raised as a pet.
He thinks he's a parakeet.
Soon to be education bird at the raptor rehab center I work at. Until his paperwork comes in he lives in ICU.
The armadillo lived on top of his crate (which he only actually goes in when we are working on birds).

Adorable! I do love American Kestrels, they're darn fun little birdies to work with, but can be so tough as well. Weights are so small, after all...
I just gotta say, though, that he looks a lot like the 'she's' that I'm used to seeing. The male I worked with was more reddish. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3774510/

If he was a she he'd have just brown on his wings instead of blue.
This is also his first year so he's still changing color a bit in the chest. He'll get darker.
This is our other male kestrel, he's way darker.
