We had one at the hospital I worked at for several months, and most patients on my ward loved it and used to watch for it. The only time I remember some being upset was when it proceeded to pluck and eat a Rainbow Lorikeet.

Obviously not classy enough people for you to want to work for, Bill. A few years ago I had a Peregrine fly past the 12th floor in Melbourne carting a feral pigeon. At least 2 or 3 others in the office saw and were asking what it was – not the bosses, though!

I recently (well, it was more than a year ago now) was interviewing for a job in a company who had their headquarters at the top of a skyscraper in Bourke Street. The interview panel all sat against the glass wall of the office, and I sat opposite them, occasionally answering a question, but mainly admiring the view. Suddenly a Peregrine went past the window, just metres from the glass. I yelled “woah, a Peregrine! Did you see that?”
No reaction whatsoever from the three interviewers. They didn’t even blink, just sat there like the Easter Island statues.
Perhaps not surprisingly, I didn’t get the job.
