#102｜Mom Confirms and Removes Deceased Chick｜🐥DAY 11｜🇦🇺 367 Collins St. Peregrine Falcons 2026

Mom carefully checked for any signs of life by lifting and dropping the deceased chick’s leg. Once she confirmed it had passed away, she held it in her beak and switched it to her talons before flying off to carry it out of the nest. The removal was quick, taking only about two minutes. She returned to the nest right away and stayed close to the remaining three chicks. About 42 hours had passed from the time the chick passed away until it was carried out of the nest. Once again, our heartfelt condolences go out to the little one. Rest in peace. ────────── ℹ️ This video is an edited archive documenting past events from the live stream.

Located about 150 metres above ground in Melbourne’s CBD, this nesting site has been observed continuously since 1991, making it one of the city’s most famous wildlife spots. ◾️History of Nesting at 367 Collins 【1991–1992: Origins and Establishment】 In 1991, Dr. Victor Hurley discovered that a pair of falcons had failed to hatch eggs laid in the building’s metal gutter. The following year, in 1992, a purpose-built wooden nesting box (a “scrape box”) filled with sand was installed on the building’s high-rise terrace. The falcons took to it, and have returned to raise chicks there every year since. 【2004–2005: Tragedy and a New Generation】 In 2004, a tragic incident occurred in which the resident pair was harmed after eating an illegally poisoned pigeon. However, the following year, in 2005, a new pair took over this prime nesting spot, and it once again became an active breeding site. 【2017–Present: Livestreaming and Global Popularity】 Once viewable only via a monitor in the building’s lobby, a 24-hour webcam was installed in 2017, launching an internet livestream. The nest gained a surge of attention especially during COVID-era lockdowns, and it has since become a beloved spot watched by tens of thousands of fans around the world. ◾️Video courtesy of 367 Collins Falcons    / @367collinsfalcons4   367 Collins Falcons 2025 - South facing https://www.youtube.com/live/oibsohQ1... 367 Collins Falcons 2025 - North facing https://www.youtube.com/live/dNKk0ivu...
