It's swallow-tailed kite season, so the kite rule is in full effect. Don’t know what the kite rule is? Let me introduce you. When you see a swallow-tailed kite, it doesn’t matter where you are – whether you are at work, at school, in the car, at home – you look up to the sky, point, and yell at the top of your lungs, "Kite, kite, kite!" This alerts everybody that there is a swallow-tailed kite and that you were the first to see it. Caution: please drive safely and don’t get in trouble at school

It’s a bird, It’s a plane, It’s…a Migrating Swallow-tail kite! These striking black-and-white raptors are migrating back from the warm weather of South America to our vibrant Sunshine State. They return to Florida in early March to breed, weaving nests of twigs and Spanish moss high in cypress and pine trees. More social than most raptors, they often form loose colonies above prey-rich swamps and savannas. Look up! You might spot them gliding gracefully on the hunt for insects, frogs, lizards, a

⚠️Rare Patient Intake⚠️ This Swallow-Tailed Kite was found in Plantation Florida on the ground by a tree. The rescuers discovered that it was lethargic and brought it into our center.

A juvenile swallow-tailed kite was recently brought to FWH after it was discovered to have plastic wrapped around its legs. It was very young and unable to be re-nested. Our staff noticed it wouldn’t eat from the bowls, so they slowly started stacking the food higher up, and sure enough, the kite started eating just fine! We transferred it to the Avian Reconditioning Center, where they specialize in swallow-tailed kites. Once it’s old enough they will release it back into the wild! #FloridaWildl
