As Victoria endured one of the world’s longest Covid-19 lockdowns, thousands of Melburnians watched the live feed of the nesting box, and the peregrine falcons became one of the city’s favourite families.

This is an incredibly important video to me. This year, they have four chicks! Thanks, Guardian.
Cute!
This is so beautiful! Peregrine falcons are by far my favourite birds
Hi I watched the stream often and would watch the back feed daily for moments. Did all 3 Falcons fledge successfully? I really want to know if they are all doing well.
Not just watched by Melburnians! :/
And hundreds if not thousands of us sitting in front of our screens watching and blubbering like babies when they took off.
Belles images joli montage

Очень жаль, что птенцы так быстро выросли и улетели из гнезда! Может ещё вернутся, не такие ж они взрослые! А как их мама ждала! Мамы всегда ждут своих детей!
