Oberhausen: that's the way to do it







Welland there she finally was. The pigeon was left in the corner of the nestbox. One of the juvi's did put on a show, and it looked quite real. But the pigeon was still in possesion of al his feathers. That's certaintly not going to happen to many who have been run over by 3 peregrine falcons. To be that is.
The female started plucking the poor thing and the 3 juvi;s where standing arounf here no doubt screaming and wailing from exitement. Watch what she is doing I thought, watch and learn. But it seem to be a very long way.
In the meantime they are growing and becoming very beautiful juvi's. Their down is almost gone. Only under the wings is some left.
