Day in the life of Cache, the American Kestrel!🪶

Cache was hatched in a falconry program in 2023 and then joined our team in 2024. Conservation bred birds have long been helping save critically endangered species by boosting populations and through reintroduction.

American Kestrel populations have declined 40% since the 1970s! Cache is our best educator for the public and agricultural land owners about installing kestrel nest boxes and reducing pesticide usage. Kestrel boxes increase habitat availability to kestrel’s already limited spaces, and pesticides disrupt breeding efforts. Did you know that farmers can save up to $357 for every dollar spent on a nest box (Shave, M., et al 2018)? 🪺These small falcons are natural pest control, and help manage prey and insect populations. You can learn how to make your own nest boxes in the link in our bio or purchase one from our Nature Shop!

When Cache isn’t inspiring audiences, he loves to perch in donated Christmas trees, go for walks, train with staff and volunteers, and enthusiastically rip up his enrichment. This 0.2lb raptor is a testament to being small but mighty! He continually reminds us that being small doesn’t mean being insignificant - and that even one individual can make a massive difference in our world. 🌎🪶
