Had one of these magnificent Birds sitting on our Pergola - just 3m from front door last week.
Wife feeds birds her left over bread - (90% sparrows) wax eyes etc - and these Native Falcons get the odd one.
Had one have a go at the Aussie Terrier on our front lawn a few years back too.
If I was to come back in another life as a creature - this is my #1 pick

We have a pair living up in Native beech approx 1500m behind us.

That would be pretty cool have a pair living that close to you mate.

Yes - when I was 10-16 yrs age - we had a pair in Tekuiti - they nested in a big old dead Rata.
They used to dive bomb me whenever I walked past - could feel the wind from their attack - that is how close they got.

Same locality the 1st confirmed sighting that the Blue Wattled Crow (Kokako) was not extinct after all !!
By "yours truly" when I was 11 years old (1968/9)


not my photo - camera were not invented back then - apart from Box Bronies
