Checked all the pics, fantastic!!!



One of the best possible PF's sites we can follow.

BTW looks like the tenants keep the little garden very clean and nice, they only dug the scrape and bring away all the preys' carcasses. Emily isn't really bossy as many falcon ladies are, she shares the feeding with Frederick, not so common!

Ed ecco perché il delizioso balcone è sempre così pulito (almeno per ora).
I rifiuti li buttano in quello del vicino di sotto!!!

Birds back with new brood

Fredrick and Emily the peregrine falcons and their new additions.

CLEANING up for house guests doesn't usually involve dangling precariously 11 floors up in a full body harness.

But two peregrine falcons are not your average guests.

For the third year running, Caloundra photographer and fashion designer Robyn Hills and her husband Ross Harrison have welcomed back Fredrick and Emily, who build their nest in a balcony planter-box outside the window of the couple's apartment.

This year, the clucky couple welcomed four fluffy chicks (or eyasses) to their brood.

"It's always exciting because we can see them so easily," Ms Hills said.

"It's our own little viewing box. We saw the first egg crack and watched them hatch."

The birds have created somewhat of a cult following since being introduced three years ago.

Emily boasts 104 friends on Facebook (that's no mean feat when you're a bird).

There are fans in Holland, America and the Canary Islands.

It seems the only person who is not happy is Robyn and Ross's downstairs neighbour.

"Our poor neighbour downstairs feels like he lives at the bottom of a bird cage," Ms Hills said.

"He gets pooped on. Basically, any of the leftover carcasses or bits of birds they feed on go over the edge to his balcony.

"But we invited him up the other day to see how cute they were."
