Melbourne's 367 Collins Street falcons 2022
Birdwatchers have awoken to discover two peregrine falcon eggs have hatched, after the first cracks were reported yesterday morning 29 September 2022.
The chicks' biological father has been ousted by a new male who has only recently started showing paternal instincts. The original male, known as Dive-bomb Dad, still has not been seen despite the arrival of his chicks. Victorian Peregrine Project founder Victor Hurley said, "He's now gone from the scene, being chased off or killed by the new male, who hasn't produced any of these eggs with her."
