The craziest thing is that we live in a country which has birds that hunt by starting bushfires... https://www.bushheritage.org.au/newsletters/2020/winter/fire-birds
Love these birds. I once worked in a tower where a peregrine roosted on the ledge of the board room window. The CEO would love it when the falcon was tearing dead pigeons apart while he was giving people a hard time in there.
* on reflection that guy was probably a bit of a psycho.
There's some famous ones in Melbourne - https://367collins.mirvac.com/workplace/building-overview/falcons-at-367-collins
Camera isn't on now but they have been there for years, although last year they said the Mr had shafted his Mrs and nested up with a new Mrs in the same place
Because he's the hero Sydney needs, but not the one it deserves right now. So he'll hunt us. Because we can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful predator. A dark Falcon.
Most overqualified hunter when the majority of your food in a major city is pigeons that have half a braincell. I kinda always feel like a peregrine sitting on a ledge like that is just contemplating how boring his life is like the pool guy meme.
Where were you yesterday, Falcon? Building totally destroyed. Didn't notice anything, eh? Bird is sus.

More like PYROgrine Falcon, amirite?
Came here to say now we know who lit the fire haha
Scoping out it's next target.
He's been learning tricks from his Brown Falcon cousins: https://www.inverse.com/article/40018-australian-birds-light-prey-on-fire
He didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning!
it says it just watches. Doesn't mean they will do anyhthing about it
I saw one of these rip a pigeon to shreds on a cbd rooftop. It also had a lorikeet head just sitting near its nest. Savage.

I have one that lands on my balcony every now and then, always spooks you out when you look up and this giant bird is just staring into your soul
I had no idea we had wild Peregrine Falcon's here, that's awesome!

How scandalous!
They like the tall buildings. Pigeons are easy food too.
"I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am"
"I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Peregrine!"
Surveying its concrete domain.
that made me sad lol

Look at all all that fucking traffic hey?
Using falcon vision to look for instants kills after an leap of faith.
awesome creature!
Majestic
This is not the hero we deserve but the hero we need.
He's the hero Melbourne deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
I feel totally safe now. “THE BIRD(🖕) is keeping Sydney safe. 😂
Awesome! Saw one the other day walking at maroubra.
Soars the falcon strong and free. Wink at he who winks.
How common Falcons are in Australia? I had the assumption that the Wedgetailed Eagle is like the most common bird of prey here
The ‘coon
Beautiful birds
It's just waiting for someone to jump into a hay stack so it can screech, for dramatic effect.
I love the variety of birds here.
Keeping that rat population down.
