The nest's resident furballs kicked down the hatches on May 22, 2025, and have been growin' like wildfire ever since. Monika Hachtel, the project manager at NABU NRW,; beamed, "Watchin' those young birds grow is downright mesmerizin'. You can almost see 'em mature before your eyes!"
Right now, those tiny falcons are learnin' to stand by stretchin' their puny little legs and even makin' first flap attempts. But most of the time, they're sprawlin' out on the nest box, fast asleep. That's when the parent birds show up, clutchin' mice in their fierce talons, ready to fill those tiny tummies.

With the fledgling peregrines still sportin' those cute, fluffy feathers and little more than fuzzy down, it won't be long before they trade it all in for sleek, powerful adult plumage.
