When Falcons Attack

When falcons attack. Peregrine Falcon Banding, Sheraton Hotel, Hamilton Ontario, 2009. Please read the comments that exist before you go spouting off. The work we do helps the birds. These birds were almost extinct before these efforts began to turn the tide. As it says in the video, the birds are fine, the babies are fine and this doesn't harm them in any way. This is under the direct supervision of scientists, unless you have evidence to the contrary, please just enjoy the education and have a nice day.

Might this intrusion affect the mothers relationship with her young?

[cphinney]

@RobDeManc No it doesn't.

You should just leave the birds alone, that's the problem with people, can't leave things alone...

[cphinney]

@wildnutria No, the problem with people is that they destroy the earth. Then those in the minority have to help animals like this back form the brink of extinction, which is what we have done over the last 15 years with the falcons at this site.

@samfrompakistan You, like some of the other idiots, have no idea what you are talking about. This was not done to upload a video to youtube, we are volunteers who risk our lives to get this job done for biologists (you know, people with an education). Every effort is made to reduce the disturbance of the birds including not using certain tools and techniques that would actually make us safer. Please don't comment on things that you clearly do not understand.

@samfrompakistan It's evident you don't understand a bit of it. Like the rest of so called concerned people, you think nowadays wild life can make it on it's own. With out falconry (and falconers) you weren't seeing these birds.. OR would be tagged as "extremely rare footage of a peregrine falcon"

i hate falcons, they got 2 of my pegions. :(

@cphinney I understand, I guess your right.
