Six endangered Orange-Breasted Falcons released into the wild in Belize

July 2007. Six rare Orange-Breasted Falcons that were bred in captivity have been released for the first time into the wild in their traditional territory in Belize, in an attempt to bolster a small and isolated population thought to number fewer than 35 pairs in all of Central America.

Six chicks were placed in an artificial nest on a platform that provides a safe haven to the young birds as they learn to fly and hunt. Researchers will feed the birds until they are able to successfully pursue and capture prey on their own.
