The Peregrine Falcons population was almost
complety extint in the 1970's, due to a chemical called D.D.T., this chemical
had prevented the bird from having normal hatchling's. But recenty their was a
project to help revive the population. The peregrine was reintroduced to the
wild and their population as I speak is soaring. The Peregrine lives on top of
Bridges, and Skyscrapers the reason for this is because in their normal habitat
they live on hill's and mountain tops. Experts say that the perigrine should
continue to thrive thanks to the abundance of pigeon's which is a favorite meal
of the peregrine.
