Listening part 4:
- Peregrine falcons are found on all continents except from Antarctica
- The name Peregrine implies that they’re wanderers, but not in Australia
- known to be the world’s fastest creature, however there is some dispute about how fast they
can actually fly
- Female Peregrine falcons are almost a third larger than their male counterparts.
- The female stays close to the nest to protect the eggs and the young chicks, the male is
mostly occupied looking for food
- Peregrines lay 2 or 3 eggs per nest:
+ At 20 days old, chicks start to fly
+ At 28 days old they are fully grown
+ Two months after hatching they leave their nest for good.
+ Young falcons are not good at feeding themselves so during the first year, about 60% of them
die
+ Once manage to live to breeding age, at two years old, they generally go on to live for 6 or 7
years
- Procedure used for research on Peregrine falcon chicks,
+ the first thing is catch the chicks before they’re able to fly
+ then attach identification rings to their legs
+ Thirdly, note the sex of the chicks
+ The next thing is to take the blood sample from the chicks to check the level of pesticide in
their bodies
+ Finally, check the birds thoroughly for their general health
