‘Nest-flix’ peregrine falcons become streaming stars of the 34th floor in Australia

A pair of peregrine falcons has nested atop 367 Collins Street in Melbourne since 1991, and a webcam has broadcast their breeding cycle continuously since 2016.

This season the female, known to fans as F24, has laid four eggs, prompting close monitoring by a community of Facebook and Bluesky watchers who track feeding times and changeovers to the minute.

The building's owners and conservation group Birdlife Australia have embraced the attention, with a renovated lobby reportedly inspired by the birds and an ABC documentary made about the phenomenon.

The livestream's YouTube channel has more than 30,000 subscribers, with hundreds tuning in simultaneously to watch two wild animals do what wild animals have done above that street corner for over three decades.
