Peregrine Falcon Egg

KO-413 $38.00

(Acrylic stand included)

The peregrine falcon breeds in a wide range of habitats and nests on ledges of cliffs or, if in the city, ledges of city buildings. The nest is a hollow scrape with no material added. While this raptor may migrate hundreds of miles, it often comes back to its old nesting site. Some nests have been used for over a hundred years by a series of falcons. Once a year, the female lays 3 to 4 eggs, which she, with help from her mate, incubates for 33-35 days.

As with all Bone Clones® products, only the finest casting materials are used to cast our North American bird egg series. Our expert artists paint each with meticulous care to match the eggs that were used in the casting process. Each egg is hand painted with permanent dyes and sealed with a resistant coating that makes it ideal for handling, study, teaching, as well as for display. In nature, eggs vary from region to region as well as from bird to bird. The colors and patterns used were determined by the egg used as well as reference material to find a happy medium that would be representative of the species.
