One of Melbourne's most beloved falcons recently took flight once again, following a period of rehabilitation after an unexpected mishap. Wildlife Victoria and emergency responders were called in when the famous fledgling became trapped behind a glass balcony screen on a tall building in the city's bustling CBD. With careful efforts, the falcon was successfully rescued and taken to Fitzroy Gardens in hopes of releasing it back into the wild.
However, upon further examination, experienced caregivers discovered that the falcon was unable to fly due to a potential soft tissue injury in its right wing. In order to provide the best possible care, the falcon was then transferred to Melbourne Zoo's marine response unit where it underwent a thorough evaluation, including X-rays and blood tests. Despite these efforts, the journey was far from over for the determined falcon.
The next stop for the falcon was Healesville Sanctuary's Raptor Rehabilitation Centre, where it received specialized care and attention. Through a combination of anti-inflammatory medication, rest, and gradually building up its flight abilities, the falcon was finally ready to return to its natural habitat near the Yarra River in Melbourne. At this point, Melbourne Zoo determined that the falcon, now independent and fully capable of fending for itself, no longer needed to return to the ledge where it had been living with its parents.
