New Yorkers, used to sharing their sidewalks with grumpy pigeons, got a shock Wednesday afternoon when an injured peregrine falcon showed up on Second Ave. just south of 42nd St.
Members of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit took the majestic bird, whose gender was not immediately identified, to the Wild Bird Fund.
“It’s a young falcon, and it has a fracture on its left wing,” said Zhong Huang, a staffer at the wildlife rescue center. “We’re putting him on fluids and taking an X-ray.”
Falcons nest high on skyscrapers and bridges in urban areas.
