Peregrine Falcons are a protected species and the deliberate killing of them is a criminal offence.

The Department said that a “significant threat” to the birds has arisen, as on Wednesday evening a walker noticed two tethered pigeons flapping near the Perigrine Falcons’ nest.

The pigeons’ wings had been clipped to stop them flying, and the birds had been attached to ground stakes. They also had a “wet substance” on their neck.

The pigeons were brought to the State laboratories for testing.

It is believed that they were laced with a poison in a deliberate attempt to kill the breeding Falcons. Peregrines eat live prey and would have been attracted to the pigeons by their wing flapping as they attempted to escape their tethers.

The NPWS and the Parks Department for Killiney Hill, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council are now calling on the public who use the park to remain vigilant and report any similar incidents.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Look out for people acting suspiciously around the nest area
  • Keep watch for tethered birds or birds fluttering a lot in the one area but not moving, which may mean that they are tied in some way.
  • Report any dead birds seen
  • Keep children and pets away from suspect birds

”It is not tolerable for these majestic and extraordinary birds of prey or any other wildlife to be persecuted or poisoned,” said Jimmy Deenihan, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
