  • ... that five peregrine falcon chicks were released from the roof of an office building in an attempt to help save the species from extinction? Source: "Five peregrine chicks arrived Saturday. They'll be placed in a special 'hack box' atop the former Colonial American Bank building at Campbell and Jefferson in downtown Roanoke." [1]

    • Comment: Second DYK nom

5x expanded by DrOrinScrivello (talk). Self-nominated at 16:54, 10 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Colonial National Bank (Roanoke, Virginia); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Article was expanded 5x, the hook is interesting. It's not quite cited to the article (which doesn't talk about extinction, just about endangeredness). The article of peregrine falcon itself says it was "endangered over much of it range", so possibly not at direct risk of extinction. Can you propose an alternative hook? Maybe including the pidgeons? (not strictly part of DYK review, but I noticed that the last paragraph of the lead is cited to a 2018 source. How can it contain information about 2023?). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 21:10, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Femke: Thanks for your review. The year in the lead was an oversight - I've been updating the Roanoke city article and inserting too many as of 2023 templates. Thanks for the catch. As for the hook, my initial thought was to center it around the pigeons and I changed my mind. How about:
