[00:00:00][music] >> Watch concerned falcon parents dive-bomb a California researcher just trying to do her job. [music] That job was tagging newborn peregrine falcon chicks that recently hatched on the roof of the San Jose City Hall. According to KGO, researchers say peregrine falcon populations are facing a steep decline due to avian flu, so tagging newly hatched chicks like these are part of a greater Bay Area [music] effort to track and support the precious peregrine population. But the big birds don't know that, so you can forgive them for a little [music] hostile helicopter parenting.
