My fortress just had its first baby  . Untill 5 minutes later, when a peregrine falcon somehow flew past all of my other dwarfs, into the bowels of my fortress and MURDERED this baby. Is baby murdering something they normally do?

[Corai]

Lucky baby.

[wierd]

Truly this is a blessed event, a sign even!


If it helps curb the dwarfsplosions later on, it is surely a miracle from armok.

[Urist_McUristson]

Yeah, it would be kind of hard for it to do so considering I had it killed and made into jewlery for the elves.

So long as you have a legendary dinning room setup you are lucky because everyone here always complains about the number of children in their forts.

EDIT: unless they modded their dwarves to mature quickly.

Or, you know, set a child cap, similar to pop cap but more accurate

Ive never really had a problem with children, but in the newest version... is it just me or is the birth rate WAY higher than in DF2010? It was never a problem before, but now I feel like I get spammed with "Urist McDwarfy has given birth to a kid!" "Urist McDwarfy cancels eight different messages at once: seeking infant" messages. Did that change, or are my dwarfs just noticeably more horny in my newest few embarks?

Children are why I always have a bridge over a 20z drop with a burrow labeled "Chuck E Cheese Ball Pit"

[slothen]

I believe this counts as a bird omen.

Great things will happen at this fort.

It's probably because more families migrate into your fort. Just a guess, I could be wrong.

My guess? Death by Roc.

[Starver]

Rocs fall, everybody dies?

Seriously

[SRD]

The falcons are more afraid of FPS death than you.

[LumberingOaf]

Well you may or may not be aware the peregrine falcons hunt vermin in a similar fashion to cats. It correctly identified the parasitic lifeform known as "dwarven baby" and proceeded to the next logical step.

/falcon sees prey
/falcon eats prey

[Garath]

more seriously, yes, I've had peregrins fly down several (busy) stairs into my fort, causing trouble now and then, but never had anything killed by one.
