Yes. Mainly due to DDT pesticide which caused them to produce shells with thinner walls, which means that the eggs break easier and the embryo inside dies.

No. The peregrine falcon has made a great comeback, and is now listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN.

No, peregrine falcons are fortunately not extinct, due to the fact that DDT is banned in the US. DDT killed off many of these birds.
