The bird was quite capable and fit enough to catch her own food, but she did rely on him for food also, he said.<\/p>\n
“On her leg she’s got a blue radio tracker, a blue transmitter with an aerial on, and on her legs she’s got two little black straps,” he said.<\/p>\n
“She is super tame and I use her for all sorts of things, photography days, shows, people all round the country will have seen her at shows<\/p>\n
“Lots of children in Shropshire will have seen her in school\u2026 at shows.<\/p>\n
“She’s kind of famous.”<\/p>\n
He said due to her tame nature, she could approach people if she got hungry.<\/p>\n
“She’s super good at what she does, but she’s in an alien environment for her, and the weather hasn’t been brilliant,” he said.<\/p>\n
Cross added she may be quite vocal, and described her as like one of his children.<\/p>\n
“I will always be mum, so whenever she’s hungry, she will do that fast little chatter, she’ll call to me.”<\/p>\n
He urged anyone who may see Fern to get in touch with Shropshire Falconry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bird was quite capable and fit enough to catch her own food, but she did rely on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-431254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
