  • we race pigeons and when we toss them on the weekends the peregrines are everywhere , endangered not in Australia, maybe in the rest of the world they might be

  • bomb ass whale at the beginning!!!

  • Right, Most common and wide ranging Falcon in the world. Rare in the 50s in the Eastern US only because of the bounty on the falcons head by the fish and wildlife agencies. The Endangered Species Act serves one purpose only. Ultimate control by government over private and public lands. Something they could not attain otherwise because of the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

  • Great video

  • We see more peregrines now than red-tails. The songbirds are disappearing. The Piping Plover and other shore birds are in decline as people are still putting more peregrines in the wild. If a piece of land will grow grass there is a peregrine on it. These are wonderful birds but no more important than an earth worm. Now that there over populated in the UK and Australia they have turned to feeding on domesticated animals. They can triple their number in one year.

  • lol, pigeon racing...probably would be best to leave the racing to humans by now don't you think

  • "Pest proportions"? Bonehead. If your crap homers can't get away from a peregrine, they should be hawk food. The world should thank peregrines for weeding your garbage pigeons out of the gene pool. Feral pigeons have thrived on their ability to evade avian predators. Why are your flying rats so low-rent? Replace your weak homers with feral rock doves. Problem solved.

  • Peregrine falcons are now at pest preportions in the British isles, once their habitat used to be cliff faces and quarries, now they have moved into cities and towns and nest on ledges of highrise apartments and office blocks. They do enormous damage to the sport of pigeon racing, a subject that pro falconers do not want to address, this video is very informative, but also one sided.

  • comment below ,peregrines were before endangerd thats why they did the research

  • Peregrine falcons are NOT endangered. A lot of people have made a lot of money perpetuating this myth. Peregrine populations are now higher than they were prior to the post WW2 population decline, due to egg softening from ingesting organo chlorides.
