There’s no place better to raise a family than a New York City high-rise — especially if the rent is free!

That’s the deal for nine peregrine falcon chicks that were hatched high atop several MTA bridges last month by three bird couples. It’s the latest success in a decades-long effort to bring the falcons back from the edge of extinction in New York.

Two female falcons were hatched at the peak of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. They were named Rose and Sunset. Three boys — named Locust, Edgewater and Bayside — were born atop the Throgs Neck Bridge. And four chicks, Rocky, Floyd, Marine and Breezy, hatched in the Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge.
