Aria and Vento taking very good care of their babies. They are so cute, resting against her strong but very soft brestfeathers. Peregrine falcons are very caring parents. Both male and female brood. In general the mother stays with the little ones, while the male hunts for food.
When the eyases get older and need more food, both parents hunt together. The female drives the prey into the talons of her partner. She carries the prey home, because she is much stronger. Nevertheless even the female is breathless when she arrives at the eyrie with a heavy prey. But the enthousiasm she gets from the waiting chicklets make sit worth her while!
