Today suddenly died female Carla in the early morning just before she was feeding her eyases.
The prey was probably poisoned.
A forum member reported:
"A very tragic day when sweet carla's live came to an unforeseeable end.
I was really astonished to seeing her body laying in that flat positon in front of her hungry waiting chick. First I thought that to many users were blocking the stream and I wondered if the cam froze for that reason. As the chick didn't want to wait anymore after 2-3 minutes and vanished into the box I realized the adult female must be dead.
I mailed to Mr. Stefan Hose (Grün Stadt Zürich) and let him know what happened asking him for considering to evacuate the chicks as it was done at Norfolk Botanical Garden too in case of a dangerous feed Situation. Mr. Hose didn't respond to my mail yet but the result could be seen after nearly half an hour. The last picture showing the removal of carla's body made it clear that my request was not in vain.
So let's remind of a precious and unique swiss female falcon giving us so much joy over years.
Bye bye Carla we will miss you but cute Antonio will find another young mate - I guess who - because we may have seen her some months ago...the young one with clear stripes which appeared at springtime when Carla was absent. Let nature open the next love game and we will enjoy it!"
