We have all of those birds around Toronto. The Peregrine falcons sometimes nest in the city. I have seen and heard kestrels. The reptile centre I volunteer at had an injured kestrel for a couple of days before he was transferred to the Toronto Wildlife Centre. His wing might have been injured. but he had no trouble eating our mice. He was a beautiful little bird.
We have red tailed hawks all over the city. I love watching them.

So what is involved with abatement?

It must be amazing to take birds home. I take home any reptiles that are injured or just not doing well. I brought home an older Colombian Tegu that someone dropped off. He is a challenge to look after, but Barrie is also very special.
