    Ah the old saying 'Birds of a feather flock together'. Those people who know Frank and Judy falcon are the ones who looks after them like a family. Give it 6 stars 🌟

    The 2 falcons defending the nest are the parents Frank and Judy. The ones at the vet in Bondi are the juvenile chicks in their first "adult" feathers. I'm a little surprised Chris didn't recognize this. The gray-ish beak is a clear giveaway these are juvenile birds. Around the second to third year their beak gets it's final adult yellow color (usually right around the time they start their own first nest)
    The juveniles sometimes end up on the ground during the first branching flights where they get used to being on their wings. It sounds harsh but the parent falcons wil sometimes starve their chicks a bit on purpose to tempt them out of the safety of the nest and get them to fly. They'll then feed them first at those other places and slowly over time by giving them a pray mid-air and then even dropping it higher up so the young have to learn to catch prey mid flight. If the juveniles end up on the ground the parents might get scared away and that's when you find mildly starved and scared young falcons on the ground. Best thing to do is what was done here, either put them high up near the nest straight away or give them a days rest and then return them to (near) the nest

      @@TheAverageDutchman awesome. My mom also loves peregrine falcons and studied them for a while. That's why I also almost immediately saw those where the juveniles (brown~ish feathers), not the parents. I don't know how long ago they came out of their eggs/where born, but I do know they can fly around 6 weeks after being born. Before that it's more practicing of wings and flying, which can look like they can't fly. So there was indeed nothing wrong with them. He just caused a lot of unnecessary stress for the parents by taking the juvies. Chris should have asked a falcon expert for these birds, cause as much as I love Chris, clearly he doesn't know a thing about these birds.

      Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information. My heart was broken at what I believe was the loss of these young Falcons. Instead to find that what we were indeed seeing was the beginning ofs the Healthy Start to their young lives. I'm sure when this video was released Chris was informed of his error.
      All in all a very happy ending. Chris really is my favourite. I think of him as the MacGyver of veterinarians. When it comes to rigging something up he always comes through.

      He is a vet mate, not a falcon expert. At the end of the day all the falcons were safe and able to live their lives. Chris cannot specialize in everything but he does a great job in what he knows. He did diagnose the one with Thrush and treated it. However thank you for your input but please do not criticize the channel for the greater good they do.

    I feel sentimental and inspired by the bond people share, (a sort of inner knowing,) that connects them, by way of their love for living creatures and their connection to the planet. Understanding the importance of being a gentle shepherd rather than an opportunistic bully. Realizing that taking care of, and understanding, them, is essentially taking care of ourselves.

    They should build them a nesting box if they are regulars there. We have a nesting box on one of our buildings downtown they put in a camera so you can look 👀 in on them and their chicks if they have any.😊 That’s awesome how they take care of them.

  • @stathispapailias634
    @stathispapailias634 Před 2 lety

    This is why falconry is SO important. So many of these beautiful birds do not survive in the wild. I don't know about juvenile Peregrine morality, but 90% of red tail hawks die in their first year by predator, starvation (seen in this video when he said there's not much too her), power lines or collision.
    Falconers trap these birds as juveniles, train them to hunt like athletes for a couple of hunting seasons and then release them into the wild again to breed. If you loved this video, I encourage you to look into falconry and be part of the solution to raptor survival.

    I love seeing this rescue but I'm a little disappointed at the poor information the show provided. The "they're rip you to shreds" and "killing machines" and "I need a helmet" … none of that is true. Those birds are practically made of glass. They will swoop to try and scare but they won't make contact because it would kill them. Where I live, there was a sad story of a maintenance guy who got spooked by a falcon swooping at him when he got near her nest and he hit her out of the air with a broom. It killed her instantly. I wish the public didn't fear these beauties.
