Grinnell, a male peregrine falcon, looked up from his nest and started screaming. It was late March and he was taking a turn warming the four eggs he and his partner, Annie, were caring for in their home atop the bell tower at the University of California, Berkeley. A young female peregrine falcon, quite a bit larger than Grinnell, was lurking on the ledge above him. Young peregrine falcons will often come around the site where a pair is already nesting to check it out and plot a possible takeover. She walked right up to Grinnell in the nest and shrieked almost in his face. Grinnell spread his wings wide and swiftly chased her off the tower.
Grinnell had reason to be territorial. He and Annie have been raising chicks on this 300-foot tower since 2017.
Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals in the world: When in hot pursuit of a pigeon or other bird to pluck from midair they can reach 240 miles per hour - faster than a single engine plane. But even these raptor superstars need to settle down with a mate and have some babies to whom they can pass on their love for meat. When they do, they often pick a tall building in a city. Peregrine falcons regularly make their homes in cities across the United States, from New York to Chicago to San Francisco.
---
--- Why do peregrine falcons nest on tall buildings?
Tall buildings - just like the cliffs they live on in the wild - give peregrine falcons protection from predators, a perch from which to hunt pigeons and other birds and ledges where they can lay their eggs.
--- Do peregrine falcons make nests?
Peregrines don’t build a nest of twigs and leaves. In the wild, they lay their eggs on a ledge in a cliff into which the female has scratched a bowl-shaped depression called a scrape to prevent her eggs from rolling away.
--- Why did the peregrine falcon nearly go extinct?
The pesticide DDT, used heavily in the 1940s and until 1972 in the United States to control mosquitoes and agricultural pests, accumulated in peregrines’ bodies. It thwarted the development of their embryos. And it reduced the amount of calcium in the eggs, which resulted in eggshells so thin that they broke when parents sat on them.

Lol
They are cute when still a chick but then you remember that they are like sky bullets when fully developed.
Are you saying being a sky bullet isn't cute too? Rude.
I'm gonna teeny weeny help you with the math on that Miss Peregrine falcon, you don't want to delta swoop on your prey at 2700 kph (two thousand seven hundred kilometer per hour or 700 meters per second) which is the speed of a bullet. You want to delta swoop with Geospatial optics and flight dynamics at the landing speed of some aircrafts at 390 kph. Oh and unlike bullets you know exactly what moving prey you'll kill, when, where,how,which and why.
Still cute

I absolutely loved the video from the crowd of fans watching the baby fly for the first time! Everyone was so excited it made me tear up! 😢

Peregrine Falcon is my favorite bird of prey. Thanks Deep Look!
Good choice!
You cool Falcon lover
Laura, you totally killed this one. :) Normally I don't comment but when you voiced that falcon trying to fly I absolutely lost it! Thanks for making my morning that much better and thank you deep look team for all of your hard work! keep it up guys~!
Aww Grinnell and Annie are such good parents 🥺
I love how she voice acts them like, "And DONT COME BACK!!"2:19
and "um...Im okay!" 4:06
So did I the small grunt she made when the falcon slipped was _gold._ 😄
I had the greatest opportunity to rescue 3 of these falcons who fell out of their nest. I couldn’t find the nest,
it is probably very high up our tree, which is over 15 feet tall. I brought those 3 angels to the SPCA. I know that there is one more left up there, I hear him calling mamma every morning and evening. What an experience. They are the cutest thing and you get attached to them looking at you with those innocent eyes. Glad I could save them.
I love how much effort this channel puts into their videos, they're very interesting. I just came back from school now and saw the notification. Keep it up guys, great video.
Glad you like them Melissa!

I think all birds of prey make them. You should be familiar with owl pellets, those are the same.
their sacks of poop m8...
yup
what a delightful and wonderfully produced episode
Glad you enjoyed it!
4:52 The way his parent feed him is so cute
My home town ornithologists did a LOT of hard work to revive the peregrine population - they're called The Peregrine Fund, and during my last visit they were hard at work raising California Condors for release into the wild - it's an ornithologist's dream location when it comes to raptors.
I'm glad they're thriving. I saw one during november last year, flying. I also saw another falco (but different, smaller specie) some months ago.
2:19 I've never felt so much energy coming from her.
those eggs might be hers
That’s Grinell.The narrator said it,and also,check out the male and female falcon’s height.Annie is a bit taller and bigger than Grinell.
Female falcons are bigger because they have to defend the nest.Males are shorter and faster.They have to catch meal.
0:17 Ummm is that what I think it’s is I- ummmmm I’m just gonna watch the rest of the video🤣🤣
"in more ways than one"

Wonderful video of an amazing neighbor to all the Cal community. Having worked in a high rise where I could see peregrines occasional dive hundreds of feet to catch prey, I tremendously enjoyed this fabulous reminder of the peregrine's beauty and incredible hunting skills/adaptations. Many thanks to all the nameless biologists and their associates who have brought the peregrine back to so many locations in the States! Kudos to you for all your hard work and dedication to this majestic fellow living thing!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 That first joke has me dead!
2:49 You can tell this guy tangled with the parents a bit - check out that hand.
edit: turns out it was the rock climbing that caused that particular injury - ty for the info Gabriela.
Hi Michael Kelly. I produced this episode of Deep Look. Good eye! The hand belongs to Joel "Jeep" Pagel, a raptor ecologist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who has spent decades entering the nests of peregrine falcons to help their numbers rebound, and now that these raptors are doing better, to monitor the species. I asked him about his hand and he told me the bruises were caused by falling rocks, not peregrines. That said, he has been scratched by adult peregrines over his career. They go for the back and shoulders and also will hit his helmet. I wrote an article that goes into more detail about the efforts that Pagel and others did to bring peregrines back from the brink of extinction: www.kqed.org/science/1969983/raising-peregrine-falcon-chicks-is-a-real-cliff-hanger Thank you for watching! -Gabriela

The voice over of the birds are immaculate👌
From the fast falcon action to Laura's funny voiceovers ("And don't come back!" lol)… this was a really great episode. Thanks!
i died when she said "in more ways than one"
I love when growing birds have fluffy feathers underneath their adult feathers, it looks so cute and ADORABLEEE
I love the voice acting for the birds
Her self-dialogue for the birds was spot on.
They’re so majestic. To be able to soar through the skies with such freedom, oh what a life.
3:10 the most blessed moment.
she wavers (gets 'choked up') at 2:52, proves how (com)passionate she is. a very decent lady!
4:35 I love how it just looks back like "Excuse me?"
Laura.. best voice ever... I love the way she narrates.
Nice video - thanks! Sadly "we" lost Grinnell on Thursday, March 31, 2022. He was found on a street in downtown Berkeley.
Beautiful episode, loved it! Thank you guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Didn't knew about their near extinction, all my respects and thanks to all the scientists that helped avoid that! 💖

I wasn't expecting falcons to go "chip chip"
4:35 falcons like “bro. Stop.”
Seems i found another channel to add to my favorite channel list
I love how you teach us about something
Welcome aboard!
Remember that DDT was banned “in the US.” That doesn’t mean all other countries. So migrating birds and fresh produce that come internationally may still be treated with DDT, so the “lingering effects” aren’t quite lingering but are still present entirely.
Actually, a worldwide ban was started in 2004. So, most of the world should be safe from DDT. Emphasis on most, as in some countries, DDT might be easier to produce than other pesticides.
@@doggo_woo ty for the info!
Hahahahahaha the babies in the nest getting tagged: "Mom! Mom! Mom! Human! Human! human!!!!!" XD
4:35 how the other one looked back like “are you done?”
I love me some falcons. People really don't understand just how destructive DDT is. It's
The falcon at 4:37 that’s eating turned around and looked at the other one with an expression like “do you mind?”😄
4:02 i’m wheezing 😂😂😂
I enjoyed this episode! Of course, as I do with all of them! It’s fascinating to see the development of a bird family!
one of the hospitals in my province has these falcons to take care of the pigeon problem! they’re awesome birds
‘K thanks bye’ haha! Loved it 😂
2:19 "and dont come back" i like that so wholesome :D

Wow! I want to see them in reality on very high places. I guess seeing these falcons is the most memorable in every tall building trip I make.
Great video! We have a nesting pair of Peregrines in my area. There is a group of us who conduct a Fledge Watch each year when the young are beginning to fly and improve their skills. They are fascinating to watch and I look forward to it every year.
