I remember in Toronto, they got a report of a hissing pigeon that was in a moving van (I think near city hall). Sure enough, it was a peregrine. I think our friend Linda Woods rescued the peregrine!

Kingsly died first,later Victoria was found dead on a rooftop. She gave it her all trying to feed her 5 chicks. She just couldnt do it alone. The 5 chicks were removed from the nest and taken to CPF Raptor Centre where Tracy helped nurse them back to health before the chicks were transfered to be hacked out in Richmondhill Ontario. All 5 made it to fledge. 2 that Im aware of went on to nest successfully,one remains nesting today.

I forwarded this to Cornpoppy, figuring one of his new job duties might be the head Walmart Falcon Greeter. :lol:

Oh, and let's not forget that one of our girls (at the moment I can't remember which one), was found inside a pigeon trap on top of a hospital roof. Let's just say there were fewer "live" pigeons in their when they released her. A real Stephen King story for pigeons. :scaredblue:

It was Skye.
