Return of the falcon aid to city birds
Mr. Enns says remaining falcons in the city will curb pigeon and starling numbers and offer regular sightings of an endangered species to birdwatchers. He cautions risks like vehicle collisions and owl attacks but favors active reintroduction with more release sites as part of Manitoba’s peregrine falcon restablishment effort.
