Falcon Lunch

Peregrine falcons are above pigeons on the food chain on Twitpic


So I was sitting in a meeting in our conference room (Frick Building) and there was a poof of feathers outside the window. Peregrine Falcon with a band sporting #97. I'm guessing it is a Gulf Tower bird.

If anyone walking down Grant St was hit by a pigeon leg I have photographic evidence should you like to press charges.

i was working in the office one saturday when i happened to look over the busway and see one of those falcons perched on a bare tree gnawing on another bird. there was a steady stream of feathers falling from the tree like dandelion fluff for a good half hour.

Fantastic birds.

Also helps that the kid from Animorphs got stuck as one.

Great pictures! I've seen that bird eyeing pigeons in Mellon Square Park, knew he must be taking them as well.

A pigeon pooped on my favorite fleece last month. Since then, my position has been unambiguous: the pigeons have got to go.


Good to see the falcons are on the same page with me on this.

Fat city pigeons were originally bred for human consumption (they are a product of selective breeding), but now people are too grossed out by them to even believe me when I say that, let alone chomp them.


So in a way, them damn dirty falcons is stealing our food!
