I knew you would want to know – if you didn’t see for yourself. The male that has remained on the nest ledge after fledging has flown off. How wonderful.
Let us wish this wonderful family a very long, healthy life. May the Melbourne pigeon population thrive!!!!!!!!!!!
Here he goes!
So reassuring now that the camera will no longer be operational til next August.
Thanks again to Victor Hurley and Mirvac for the two streaming cams that allowed us to observe this family from egg to fledge!
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.
