McKenzie Seeds - 2011 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
Saoirse:
Thanks for the info, TPC. My earlier post was just wondering, weighing the pros and cons of the different locations. I hadn't realized that the chicks had been able to be on the roof before. This year, it's been such a treat to see the way they booted around the roof, visiting the weed patch and the lake. Doesn't matter where they are -- they're wonderful to see! :)
The Peregrine Chick:
Rose & RCF can confirm this, but Kenzie dropped down to the roof before she officially fledged off the building last year as I recall so just having the wall box doesn't mean that some/many haven't had the roof to practice flying on over the years. The roof is large and it has been common over the years for chicks to go for the roof on their "first" flights - not really a first flight until they have left the building, but a good alternative for a chick who isn't sure if this flying thing is really what they want to be doing!

Can you imagine 4 of them (and there has been many years) on the roof of the nest box, on the edge and on the perch bar. What fun and most fledge successfully.

It seems that they're having a huge opportunity to get some great exercise, some mini flights even, with the great expanse that the roof gives them.

Short and sweet. NO.There have been no problems in all the years the nest box has been up.
