Melbourne's famous peregrine falcons are giving their live stream followers something to squawk about, with three tiny chicks hatching this week.
The daily antics of the raptors, which live on a ledge on the 35th floor of 367 Collins Street, have become a prime attraction for thousands of avid online followers — many who commentate every fluffy development via a 50,000-person strong dedicated Facebook group.
Peregrine falcons have nested near a ledge on top of 367 Collins Street since 1991, with a popular livestream of their habitat developing a legion of followers– particularly during Melbourne’s COVID-19 lockdowns – since it launched seven years ago.
Devoted followers have celebrated the new arrivals, with many expressing hope that Melbourne’s unpredictable weather would be kind to the chicks.
