A pair of kestrels found a great place to raise of family: in an apartment window box! The flowers had to wait as the chicks grew. Redditor timtimr posted a series of photographs his lucky neighbors took while watching from the inside of the window as the mother fed and tended her chicks. He said this is in “suburban Lisbon, Portugal,” but it looks pretty urban to me.
The first picture in the album is the father, the rest show the mother kestrel. The chicks appear to “sprout” from the potting soil! The apartment residents added a safety net underneath the box as the chicks grew.
