Thank you, Beth! Sounds like if they can figure out what is causing his other problems, he won't have to wait long to fly! :clap:

Thanks for posting the update, Beth...so happy to read the news of the feathers!!! Wish they had been a tad more specific about "neurological" issues...that could be anything!! whatever it is, I sure hope its something that they can help him with or that he will out grow with maturity!!

I think the weakness of the left talon is a part of that. Note the difference in the picture. More to come.

P.S. - The staff loves Silver Tag. They are taking great care of him....

Interesting about the neurological. I cannot remember if "Pittstop", a falcon i saw in person at the Medina Raptor Center, in Ohio, is a sibling to "Silver" or if she is out of the old Gulf Tower pair, but anyway, "Pittstop" was/is non releaseable due to having seizures. She got to where she would jump down off her perch right before she would have one, therefore minimizing falling. If she IS related to Silver, maybe it is an inherited thing...
Kate St John got to go see her, last year? and wrote about her in Outside My Window blog.

Matrix, that seizures thing is not accurate as far as Silver is concerned. That rumor started because somebody thought that when he was kicking his legs to get off his back, he was having a seizure! :egg13: To make it even cuter, since Dorothy would stand beside him & try to push him onto his side in order to help him up, the "seizure" people were saying that Dorothy was holding him down when he had a seizure! :gaaaaah: To those of us on this forum who watched a good bit of time, especially when he was on his back, we knew that wasn't the case.

I'm just glad that it looks like Mother Nature is taking care of the feather issue. This is one of the few instances where I'm glad that humans intervened & got him out of the nest because if he'd been left in the nest, he would have just kept trying to fly & not succeeding.

How about I put it this way...
neurological problems could be inherited. Seizures are neurological in origin. I DIDN'T say that SILVER had seizures. I said PITTSTOP has seizures and the neurological conditions could be related to something inherited...... IF the two separate peregrines are related (siblings). :gaaaaah:

No, you didn't say that & I thought I was just explaining to you where the seizure thing came from. Needless to say, I got carried away--my apologies to you if you thought the frustration was directed at you. It wasn't. It is interesting about Pittstop & her seizures & the fact that she has learned when they're about to occur.

Thanks for all the updates on Silver. I wonder if they will power wash the nest box now and replace the pebbles? Or maybe a new box given the infestation of bugs this year.


I hope they will, Carly!

New update!! Silver is......drum roll................A BOY!!!!!



"Peregrine Update: It's a boy! X-ray reports have revealed that the falcon is a male. We have also received the results from initial blood tests which have all been normal. We are still waiting for the reports from the lead test, but the bird is gaining weight & his flight feathers continue to grow. We will continue to provide public updates on the peregrine as soon as new information develops, but are unable to respond to individual inquiries about this patient."

Me, too, Antilogical! (I guess there was a 50/50 chance.) :teehee: I was going by his size when he was on the perch as compared to Dorothy's size when she perched there
! :loveshow:

Thanks for the update, SGB!

Here are a couple of really well-written articles from the University of Pittsburgh's newspapers.

Here's the latest one, from yesterday. The Director of the ARL Wildlife Center touches on the neurological issues - you'll find it interesting.

Here's one written a short time after banding.
