this just deeply troubles me. The developers , I feel, should have waited till these guys were fully fledged. I know others will not agree with me, but we all know how things get delayed all the time. I know time is money, but in this case, I have no respect for their decision at all.
We are really setting a precedence here, that these wonderful raptors do not matter.

Peregrine Falcon Chicks Arrive At Rescue Facility After Being Removed From Downtown Nest

Four peregrine falcon chicks have been removed from a nest at the top of a Third Avenue building in downtown Pittsburgh.

They arrived Tuesday at the Humane Animal Rescue Wildlife Center, according to the group, where the chicks were examined and banded with trackers.

The chicks hatched in March to Dori and Louie, a pair of peregrine falcons in a long line that have resided downtown for a decade. Dori and Louie typically roost in the Gulf Tower, but this year they had been nesting on a building currently under construction and slated to become the Keystone Flats, luxury student apartments near the Point Park University campus.

Update on the 4 chicks that were removed from the 3rd Avenue nest:

SEX: Two are definitely male. Two are undetermined, so were given the larger bands.

STATUS: All are healthy and gaining weight. A peregrine falcon puppet is used during feedings, and ghillie suits are worn when cleaning their enclosure to minimize the chances of imprinting on humans.

Here's the full update from Kate St John's blog. You can also get updates on Humane Animal Rescue's Facebook and Twitter pages.

sad. I would have thought that if they were in a facility , they would know if something was wrong and be able to treat.
