--- Quote from: Moonstar on April 01, 2010, 19:30 ---Phanatics may be quiet in the posting but they are reading every word written here....I guarantee that. We all just would really like Trey to come back. I have watched him and Princess for 3 years and this would be the 4th. They have a special place in my heart and I just want more years of the two of them. I may be a bit selfish but that is how I feel.
If for some reason Ivy ends up being the Dad, then I will root and cheer for all of them.
Like bccs said, "So, let's keep it going guys. Princess is still here, with luck we'll have chicks and they will grow and fledge. To me, that's what it's all about, the continuation of the falcons." that is true.

Exactly - Ditto to all that Moonstar!!! ;D
That said - TPC, what if Princess & Ivy 'Give it a Go' and then Trey arrives?? - Normally would this mean trouble, ie would Trey give Ivy the 'Boot' ? - and if so and Princess lays her eggs, how do we know whose they are? - Not that it matters in the Raptor world I s'pose - or does it? ???

You are correct bccs...dancing is involved when female browbeats male and yaks his ear off..male dances to the tune of the female :-*

Boy meets Girl.
Girl ignores Boy.
Boy tries to impress girl with fancy displays of flying and takeout dinners.
Girl accepts boys offers of dinner (or not sometimes especially if she is awaiting an established mate).
Boy and girl go flying and hunting together.
Boy makes scrapes in nestbox where he thinks eggs should be laid. Girl sometimes choses an entirely different spot but it keeps him busy and out of her hair, or in this case her feathers ::)
Mating occurs after a suitable period of courting time and after about 2 weeks of mating, egg laying commences.

Well stated Carly, but you forgot to say if there is any dancing involved ::) ;D

--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on April 01, 2010, 15:25 ---looks like Ivy is the one popping in and out of the nestbox. And what is he doing in that box you ask? Making one yo-honking size scrape in the back undercover. Its a very excellent scrape I must say. Surprised though, this is the boy who wouldn't use the nestboxes provided in West Winnipeg, nice gravel and everything, but come downtown and whiz-bang, he figures out what the gravel is for ::) Dope.
So what do I think will happen, looks at this point like Princess and Ivy are going to give it a shot,

I'm somewhat clueless about the dating rituals of Peregrines. Is it usually the male that does the home renos in preparation for eggs? I seem to recall the boys fly around to impress the girls - would that happen next? Is there any particular order things happen when Peregrines start their family?
ps - thank you Tracey and everyone for the updates throughout the day.
