    The Brown Falcon survived both the loss of a wing and pneumonia to live running free in our big backyard for several years. Paul, as he was named, developed a rather interesting relationship with our dog – they used to steal each other’s food. He was so quiet that once, when he managed to climb out of the yard, he returned cradled upside down in the arms of a five year old girl. With that sort of experience, I could imagine her growing up to be an ornithologist.

    In the end Paul was killed by cats along with the young of half a dozen other species that nested tin our yard that year. That was the insult. Denise

    A falcon with a broken wing that I once cared for fell into the lavatory while trying to perch on the cistern! Denise
