In every Pic, they are judging you lol. Thank you for giving them a safe place to grow
Zuegma197777
That's cool! Now get off my marigolds!
deadmansshoes861
That's really wonderful to see them grow up like that.

It's kind of the ideal situation. I find the whole premise of owning a bird to be painful, because these creatures have the gift of flight and are kept from being able to exercise it. Sure, some get to fly around the room of a house for a bit... but they don't get to fly in the great outdoors. I just hope their comfort of being around the humans in that house isn't presumed for other people. Random humans are a nasty bunch. You just never know...

Careful if you don't want to end with one of these on your balcony

And she'd like to see the manager to complain about having her picture taken.

6 sticks for a nest. It's like you got the mcmansion of pigeon nests
NZSheeps
Pigeon poop?
Andawari
asking the real important questions here!
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Pigeons evolved to nest on high rocky cliffs, so their sticks are like zip-ties to a Pallet Jack. Just have to arrest the roll.

They're lucky kids. They've found a nice, safe place and a friend.

Aren’t falcons known for being dicks to other birds by swooping down real fast and killing them?
OhIfIMust
That’s called “hunting.”
Qpnao
Now they're habituated to humans, though, which is very bad.
BurningVeryImportantThings
Agreed. This happened to me as a child and I've never been the same.

Wow 5 is a large clutch for peregrins. Mom and dad must have been busy keeping them all fed.
OhIfIMust
They’re not peregrines, though; I’m fairly certain that they’re Eurasian Kestrels!
Targe0
Yeah, they very much look like Kestrels.
Certainly not Peregrines, as they are way too small for that.
trinxter
What a lot of work for that little mom. I hope the dad helped.
puppyfart
Some say he’s still out buying cigarettes
PourMeAPuppersPlease
Why? Those birds have evolved to survive so neither parent is doing anything wrong
ironymus
with falcons the dad usually hunts and the mom is tearing up the prey and feeds it to the chickens.
rusrsdude
Damn, they have farm animals, too??
iRegretThisUsernameAlready
Everyone needs a side hustle these days. They sell the chickens to the cats upstairs who can’t go down to hunt for themselves.
ArandomDoctorOfScience
Females incubate at night and males partially incubate during the day. Once etched, both parents go out to find food. There is no mom doing the hard work and dad helping, there's a couple working together to assure the survival of as many as possible of their offspring.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
+1. This, incidentally, is why for raptors the female is larger than the male. The male can easily bring back a stream of small prey to feed early on while the female provides more body heat, then as they grow the female can bring back larger prey to satisfy increasing appetites.
CaptainRedbeardButOnlyTheBeard
In all ratites (ostriches, emus, etc.), the dad does all the child rearing and incubating, with only ostrich moms helping with incubating.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
That's cool information, I did not know that.
CaptainRedbeardButOnlyTheBeard
I mean, the moms also put in a lot of energy into making and laying those huge honkin' eggs. Also, emu dad sometimes pick up strays that are lost or orphaned.
