A suckling was found right below the St. Bartholomew's cathedral on Friday. Later on we found it was a female called Eliska.

Falcon

A suckling must handle a hard task of landing after the first flight. City bird-sucklings do not have an occasion to make the landing without troubles because of the steep roofs all around. Natural biotopes offer the bird the chance to catch a grassy growth at the rocks or branches, and after a few trials the suckling improves its ability to land. In cities, the suckling is usually left for people's help.

Eliska was carried to a center for saving the birds and stayed there for 1-day observation. The other day the nature-savers let her out at the roof of the Hutni project where both parents noticed her immediately. They provided for feeding and supervision over the next flight. Troubles with flying out are not rare in Pilsen as the sucklings were a few times found fallen in the city-center. Last year a quaint thing happened when a bird hit a still excavator. In 2000 one suckling died after hitting a glass fill of a window. Let's hope they will be more lucky this year.
