NEWS 18th November 2022
Indigo fledged on 11th November at 41 days. He has been flying well and returned to the box under his own steam on the 14th and is still there with his little brother Rubus (today 44 days old, but developing a little slower than Indigo - should fledge within a week). They are both VERY well fed! Yesterday Indigo had a short flight around the tower.

OBIRDUARY

Rubus found dead
NOVEMBER 29, 2022 BY CILLA KINROSS
His body was found by one of our medical staff (who also watch the livestream). Cause of death is unknown. I thought at first broken neck because of the angle, but it seemed intact. I have asked the vet for an autopsy, but she said that the body is too far gone. That’s a pity as I would like to have known whether it was caused by trichomoniasis (canker) as has been suggested by some watchers. We’ve never had a case here, but the parasite could be present in the local pigeon population and transferred in the prey. It’s quite common in urban peregrine chicks where they fed pigeons as a staple.

So it looks like he died a few days after last seen on 23rd November. I don’t think he made it back to the box. He was found fairly close to where he was last seen, several hundred metres from the tower.
