@fuscian You are right. The little one didn't survive. He was just too young when Mother died. Most baby birds do not survive to adulthood. It's very sad, but it seems to be Nature's way.
Nature is brutal but it insures the strongest survive which in turn insures the survival of the species. Modern medicine has done it's best to ruin what worked so well up to the last 60 years and now you have weak and sickly people breeding which has ruined the gene pool.
If you have been following the story, the mother of these chicks was most likely mortally wounded by an intruding female who claimed the territory. Peregrine Falcons (females) are 1/3 larger than Peregrine Tiercels (males). The father tried to bring food every chance he got while the female wasn't there to steal it. It wasn't until later when she realized, "Oh! They're hungry and cold! I should take care of them!"

@MyWildlifeVideos How do you make nest boxes so high up!?

@Humberto4790 This nest box is located on the top of a radio tower in the Netherlands. I did not install the nest box or the camera.

6:45 - "you're fed, you're fed, and you're fed" - WTF? "Guess I'm headin' back out!"

Instead of putting a camera there. Why don't you feed those starving birds yourself?
