An "injured" falcon makes a recovery inside of a police squad car

An "injured" falcon story from Arizona that is odd.

An animal control officer in Littlefield Arizona answered an emergency call about a falcon who may have broken one of his wings when area workers saw the falcon on the road. The animal control officer did manage to pick up the "injured" falcon and place the injured hawk inside of his squad car which belonged to the Mojave County Sheriff's Office in a cardboard box when the falcon managed to make a quick recovery and fly toward the dashboard of the police officer. The animal control officer was able to place the hawk back inside of the cardboard box and take the falcon to the rehabilitation center in Hurricane Utah where the falcon will be taken care of. I did not know that falcons can play acting roles in real life. Link is upi.com/2161734369873 via @upi

They were lucky to be able to capture the falcon again once it got out of the box.

Falcons are a favorite of mine. I'm glad the bird wasn't seriously hurt. Acting roles huh? Interesting.

I am in agreement with you that the falcon will be healed up in the rehabilitation center in Utah.

It was good that the bird didn't further injure itself flying inside the car; it might have hit the window hard. It is good that it will make a full recovery.

I'm glad the falcon will be cared for.
