Helpful Tips

• Peregrine Falcons can be very aggressive. We do not recommend placing a nest box near areas that are frequented by people, such as balconies or rooftop venues. Any person going near a falcon nest should wear a hard hat for safety.
• A nest box for Peregrine Falcons is best placed in an area where there is already a nesting pair present. Nest boxes may be helpful to pairs nesting among tall city skyscrapers near bodies of water.
• Peregrine Falcons will not eat rodents, but can be effective control for pigeons. They sometimes leave body parts below the nest, so it would be wise not to place the box above balconies or roofs, even ten stories below the box.
• Do not place the nest box near known Red-tailed Hawk nests.
