Try this activity:

Peregrine falcons nest on cliff ledges, they do not collect materials to make a nest just lay the eggs in a depression on the ledge. In some places, where peregrines have attempted to nest but been too exposed or where people are trying to protect peregrine nest sites from disturbance due to development, artificial nest platforms have been provided.

Design a nest box for peregrines that could be installed in exposed places. It would need to be about 45cm by 90cm and about 75cm
high. A landing ledge would be required and the box would have to be strong. The box would need to protect the birds from wind and rain but enable them to have a wide view of the surrounding landscape.
