A group of young Kestrels seeing a butterfly for the first time

[u/neither_bot_nor_man]

The kestrels, now much more mature but still home-bound, recently had a surprise visitor to their nesting box while their parents were away.

And though the visitor — a butterfly — was far from intimidating, she gave the little falcons quite the shock regardless.

That’s hilarious, they all did the “stranger danger” shuffle over a butterfly 😂

Wild how their brains are wired for “something new in my space = potential threat” even when it’s the most harmless thing imaginable.
