Bird Cams Around the World

I cannot watch. one or do is going got have a misstep. I am going to go into their comments and see if a roost could be on at banding. would not be a hard thing to do.

oldest is 35 days and youngest is 34 days.

I guess no banding here.

I'm going to have a heart attack if I keep watching them right now! It was bad enough that the obvious male was standing in the doorway trying to eat & the obvious female kept pecking at his talons, but now the obvious female is in the doorway & we know darn well she isn't ready to fledge!



Note: I say "obvious" because one is definitely a male, one is definitely a female & the third can either be a larger male or smaller female.

I've seen the little male sleeping in the corner several times today. I think he wears himself out flapping, etc. & then has to nap!

Guess not either

At first,I thought it was both parents

Video clips for days 30-35 for the three peregrine chicks
Here are some more hand-picked video clips for our peregrine falcon eyases. They’re now about 34-35 days old and becoming extremely restless, all the time wanting to test out their strengthening wings and legs. Mischief comes in the form of anything that looks like it can be picked up and torn apart, and indeed there are some morsels hidden under the piles of loose feathers, but it doesn’t take long to clear some space. One flap and the world turns in to a feather/snow dome!

Early morning exercises for the three young chicks.

Here’s how peregrine falcon chicks chill out!

It’s only 4-6 days now (and hopefully no earlier!) before these three birds attempt to make their leap of faith, from 50m up in the air, with a tile roof and a grassy lawn below them. We’re on “fledge-watch” from now on as they’re certainly testing the boundaries already in spending time flapping and walking along the outside of the ledge. When they leave we’ll decide on an individual basis whether they’ll need a helping hand. Our own “constitution” relates that there is no intervention, but if they end up in a situation where humans may become involved then we’ll probably step in.
The future
Thankyou to everyone who’s been commenting and emailing in with ideas and suggestions for the Project’s future. We have a lot to discuss now, and with the quiet season just a month or two away there’s plenty of work and research to be put in now. Amongst the topics to discuss are the likes of a banding program (politics involved here), a new external ledge design, camera angles, streaming software upgrades, local assistance to the current Project team, and generally where the Project goes from here. We’re mostly restricted by current voluntary funding, along with university and campus rules & regulations, and local animal ethics issues to get past, but now that we’re established with a set of fantastic hardware and software we can look positively to a future with Bula and Diamond and their offspring.

Thanks for the update!

Hope there will be sound next season and a decent ledge,
wouldn't mind a outside cam either

I thought this was a funny shot with the one chick's face looking like "will somebody get this big lug off me"?
