In a unique natural spectacle, Australia’s Charles Sturt University has become the temporary home for the world’s fastest animal, the Peregrine Falcon. Xavier and Diamond, the resident falcons, recently welcomed their adorable chicks, Marri and Barru, who were born on October 2 and 3, respectively. Nestled within the water tower at Charles Sturt University’s Orange campus, these young falcons have been steadily growing in size and strength.
This avian family has captured the attention of a global audience, granting viewers from countries such as the US, Brazil, Japan, Russia, and Germany a peek into the private life of Peregrine Falcons. This international viewership provides a unique insight into the fascinating world of these majestic creatures, drawing an eager audience from around the world.
Orange, situated in the Central Tablelands region of Central West New South Wales, Australia, serves as the backdrop for this avian drama. Located 254 km west of Sydney, this city is witnessing the remarkable growth of Marri and Barru, who are expected to take their inaugural flight around Sunday, November 12. With the hope of smooth sailing ahead, this Falcon family of four continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
