You bet!
Fostering allows wild perefrine falcons
to fledge (raise young until they are ready to fly) the maximum
number of young. Lost eggs or chicks are replaced in the nest
in order to keep the number of young at four in each nest.
Although five eggs have been reported to occur naturally,
four eggs is more common. The young were raised at the Canadian
Wildlife Service captive breeding facility in Wainwright,
Alberta. Provincial grovernment wildlife biologists transfer
the young into suitable nests in the wild. |
