Bo

Bo is a male American kestrel who was injured and orphaned at a young age when his nest was attacked by predators. Upon receiving human care he became "human imprinted" and could not be released into the wild. He now looks to people for food instead of hunting because he thinks he is a human.

The American kestrel is in the falcon family. They will eat small birds, insects, mice and other tiny creatures. They perch over fielded areas in wait for their prey, and then will fly down and hover to catch it.

The kestrel has the unique ability to see reflected ultra violet light. Mice have one weakness their bladders. Wherever they "go" they leave a trail of urine, which reflects ultra violet light. So it is like a road map leading straight to its meal.

Bo is quite the showstopper with his vibrant coloring; he can sometimes be seen in the "Wings of America" bird of prey show at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge
