Baby Kestrel will make your heart soar. This nature-inspired name is of English and French origin, from the name of the bird of prey. It originates from the Old French word crecelle, which means "rattle," a reference to the sound of the bird's cry. The American kestrel, also known as the sparrowhawk, is small yet fierce. Roughly between the size of a robin and a crow, these colorful birds hover over their prey, ranging from insects and other birds to small mammals, and snatch them from above. Baby Kestrel may be little, but like their namesake, they'll be capable of big things.
