Multiple Peregrine Falcon Chicks Named in UK, US Local Traditions

Several peregrine falcon chicks hatched this spring across multiple locations in the U.S. and the U.K., with local communities actively involved in naming the birds. At the University of Glasgow, peregrine falcon parents Bonnie and Clyde welcomed two chicks named Jack and Victor, following a public naming process celebrating local culture. Similarly, the University of Michigan has invited the public to suggest names for their two peregrine falcon chicks, continuing a tradition of honoring local figures and the university. Near Tewkesbury Abbey, three chicks were named Eleanor, Flash, and Fluff after local residents submitted suggestions at a nature event. In Pershore, four chicks were ringed and named Spitfire, Francis, Harold, and Lloyd to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, with names honoring WWII veterans. These naming events reflect strong community engagement and highlight the peregrine falcon’s urban nesting habits and conservation significance.
