Isn't that a great photo? And you're right, Ballywing -- he truly is a gorgeous peregrine!

What beautiful colourings he has!

From June 14, 2010 - "Horus was fed this afternoon - he's flying very well"

HORUS - What a GORGEOUS PEREGRINE!!!

That thought has crossed my mind, too, Alli. I know it's a long shot, but as they say, hope springs eternal.

I'm actually wondering if Polly is looking after that chick she stole from the nest?   

Not sure, maybe that's a long shot but thought I would put that out there.

[Kinderchick]

Has anyone seen Polly since she disappeared in May?

Hmmm... I wonder if she's okay?

[carly]

No sign of Polly since then Moonstar. 

[Moonstar]

So sad about Eve.  I hate hearing that one of the falcons dies.
I hope Horus does well.

It is so sad about Eve. 

Looking at the positive side, her brother, Horus, is a feisty little falcon, and they have some great pictures of him on the site:

It sounds like no intervention could have saved her if so many organs were involved by the time she was taken for treatment.  How very sad.

[ballywing]

Note from BCAW site:

"The falcon has steadily deteriorated since she was admitted despite treatment (fluids, antibiotics, antifungals). Radiography, endoscopy, biochemistry, hematology, cytology and oral endoscopy did not lead to a diagnosis. She has just now died and I have submitted her for necropsy to know what happened....

Speaking later on the phone and it appears that she was suffering from a virus or bacterial infection, we'll know more later after the analysis. Her liver, her spleen and lungs were infected, and the antibiotics she received after her admission did not give results ...

[Kinderchick]

...Brother Horus has been pulling some pranks, landed beside an open window at the University and then went IN the window!!! -Didn't show much appreciation to his rescuers either, lots of aggression ...but they got him back outside & all is well....

What?! Would that be a highly unusual experience for a peregrine?!

I just read on Imprints that Eve has passed away.  

Oh no! How very sad!

[sami]

How sad. Hopefully they will be able to determine what was wrong. Won't help her, but maybe next time.
