Page 2 of 2 Grey Falcons hunt birds, often parrots and pigeons, typically from the air with a distinctive fast, level and low-to-the-ground hunting flight. They will also take insects on the wing. They many also pounce on mammals, reptiles and birds from a high perch. Conservation assessment The status of Grey Falcons in Australia was assessed in 2010 by Garnett et al. (2011). They considered the Australia-wide population to be in the order of 500 pairs and they considered the species to be Vulnerable. The population of breeding birds in the NT must be fewer than the Australia-wide population, so the species qualifies as Vulnerable in the NT (under criterion D1), based on: A very small total population size (<1 000). Threatening processes Threats to the Grey Falcon are not clearly defined. Habitat alteration and destruction through clearing for grazing and agriculture probably lead to declines in the species southern and eastern ranges early last century, and confined them more to the arid parts of its range (Garnett et al. 2011). n the NT, such factors have probably been less influential. Here landscape-scale changes in fire-regimes or grazing by feral or domestic herbivores may, in the long-term, reduce the availability of nesting trees and appropriate prey species. Conservation objectives and management Conservation objectives are to maintain stable populations of Grey Falcons across their range in the NT and to maintain successful breeding. The management required includes developing methods of assessing population trends and implementing long-term monitoring of populations.
