It's a big day for 'bird nerds' as Melbourne 's famous peregrine falcon chicks seen hatching in real-timeIt's a big day for 'bird nerds' as Melbourne 's famous peregrine falcon chicks seen hatching in real-time Melbourne 's famous peregrine falcons are giving their live stream followers something to squawk about, with two tiny chicks hatching and another on the way.
Keen observers — Dr Hurley for instance — spotted a small triangle of eggshell missing before sunset on Wednesday night. Their fiercely territorial nature means that any other pair is excluded from nesting within about 1.5 kilometres, or pretty much the entire CBD, Dr Hurley said.In the early days a closed-circuit television camera relayed footage of the predators via coaxial cable to the skyscraper's foyer, and Dr Hurley would bring his TV in from home so people could watch along.
"A lot of people really got involved, because our lives were kind of like four walls, and so this gave them something to focus on for a couple of months." "They get fed almost within the hour of hatching, so their energy consumption needs start from day one," Dr Hurley said.
