Falcons’ chicks are not very cute.  Falcons babies  are white little,and furry. Falcons have long pointed wings to help them fly. Their wings help them turn really fast.

Falcons have interesting behavior.To pass their family on. They look for food and dive for it to feed their babies. The falcons fly 300 m, and 320 km Falcons can live about 18 to 20 years old.

They mostly eat birds. Falcons eat doves, ducks, pigeons,

hummingbirds, birds, and bats. Falcons also eat frogs, and fish.

Falcons mostly live near trees.They live in grassland, woodland, wetland, forest, and desert. They can also live in cities. They are found in Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America, Australia. Falcons are found all the world.sometimes they sleep in nests.

Other animals eat falcons they eat. Great horned owls, and eagles. Predators of babies are ravens, herons, gulls, foxes, wolverines, and  wolves are the most dangerous predators.

Born Baby Brother

When my  baby brother is born my sister and I wll get to see him first.  We will be in the hallway waiting for him to come out of the room. Then they will clean the blood off of him, and they will come home on Wedensday or Thursday.  When he comes home we will play together,and stay together if he’s  hungry.  I will feed him when he’s done I will burp him.  Then I will rock him to sleep, then the day will start all over. I will give him whatever he wants.  This is to my new baby brother Payton, from your lovely sister Briana.
