- Hatched on 10th May 2007, two peregrine falcons chicks are now feeding fine. This is only about half of the full sequence we filmed. What happened next was that the left-hand chick continued to be fed for a while until it was totally gorged. It then flopped, exhausted, over its sibling's shoulder who was then fed until it, too, seemed replete. However the remaiing two eggs you see in the picture never did hatch. So we now have just two young this year on the tower of Derby Cathedral in England.

Aw! Chick number two faced north, south, east then west, but still no Chow!
Yes - as I said in the description, both chicks eventually fed perfectly well and grew up to fly over the skies of Derby city before leaving home in the autumn.
thanks for sharing what we didn't get to see. i was feeling a lot of concern for the other chick.
So sweet ❤️
The one on the right is not being fed. Awe, poor baby. I do hope the baby chick on the was fed later. God bless!
Jakie slodziaki i jakie głodne 😍😘🌹😍
Thank you for sharing your video it’s so beautiful I love to watch these little guys eat they are so adorable ❤️😇💯‼️I love how they just have there little mouths open like just feed me feed me hahaaaaa they are so cute 🙏🏻
You must be out of your mind
but only one got fed
some pigeon just got served...literally
Aww, oh my gosh. That's so adorable.
lol...did no one read the video description? It says both chicks were eventually fed.
It's very hard to say what species of prey this is. It's small and black, so probably a blackbird, or maybe a starling. We now have over 50 prey species recorded in Derby - from swift to ruddy duck.
ماشاء الله

no nest ?
Not all birds gather nesting materials; peregrines prefer to scrape out shallow depressions in loose soil/gravel (if nesting on a cliff or ledge).
which species was the one being ate?
brilliant
survival of the fittest :(
Why wasn't she feeding the other baby that's mean the chick was crying and get she didn't feed him
This was only part of a much longer feeding sequence. Once the first chick was gorged, the second chick got fed shortly afterwards. Unlike in species such as owls, where staggered hatching leads to chicks of different sizes, and where biggest bird gets the 'lion's share' of the food, in peregrines there is delayed incubation until all the eggs are laid. This leads to hatching at the same time (sometimes within hours of each other). All the chicks are then the same size, and all get fed equally attentively. Thanks for watching. (I'm afraid that as at spring 2019 our live webcams are not available, but we are working on getting them back online for later in the year)
It's an example of a mother giving all her resources to one offspring instead of sharing between two in order to maximise her fitness- this way, she will gain more grandchildren should the one offspring she has given all her resources to survive.
