ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________

Growing peregrine chicks

In six days they doubled their weight and at three weeks they are now 10 times their hatching weight and need round the clock care.

Feeding the chicks

The male peregrine falcon does most of the hunting, but it is the female peregrine that tears up the prey into small morsels to feed the chicks. The short film below was made from clips taken from cameras inside the peregrine falcon nest and shows her tenderly feed each falcon chick in turn. I found it interesting how she hops into the nest carrying her prey in one claw. Often she will have collected this from a cache where the male leaves it for her.

Brooding the chicks

The female peregrine falcon is also mainly responsible for brooding. These chicks are too young to maintain their own body heat and so they depend on her body warmth. The peregrine falcon chicks are getting a little bit big for her to sit on though! Watch the following clip to see how they are now more than half her size. I'm expecting the chicks to be ready to fledge in the first week of June.
