Yes, chicks can imprint on humans, especially during the critical period shortly after hatching.

If handled gently and frequently, chicks may view humans as their caregivers. However, this bond may not be as strong as that formed with their biological mothers.

When does the peregrine falcon baby's hatch?
Peregrine falcon eggs typically hatch after an incubation period of about 29 to 32 days.

The chicks, known as eyases, are altricial, meaning they are born helpless and rely on their parents for food and care.
What eats killdeers?
For chicks, just about any kind of omnivorous or carnivorous animal or bird will eat them. Examples are: crows, seagulls, dogs, cats, coyotes, foxes, hawks, kestrels, and snakes. Chicks fall prey due to the lack of ability to outrun a predator or when they're "playing dead" or "pretending they're a rock". For adults, their #1 predator is the Peregrine Falcon. They kill and eat more killdeer than any other predator. Next would be hawks such as Cooper's Hawks, domestic cats, owls, and coyotes. Adults are most likely to be killed while protecting a nest or young or incubating eggs. Or, they get caught due to inattentiveness, while sleeping, or overestimating their ability to escape.
When do adult emperor penguins leave their chicks?
Adult emperor penguins leave their chicks around 10 weeks after hatching, when the chicks are able to regulate their body temperature and are more independent. This typically occurs during the late spring or early summer months in Antarctica, when food is more abundant. The adults then go out to sea to feed, returning periodically to provide food for their growing chicks.
How do penguin chicks change as they grow into adults?
As penguin chicks grow into adults, they undergo significant physical and behavioral changes. Initially covered in soft down feathers, chicks develop waterproof adult feathers, which enable them to swim effectively. Their size increases substantially, and they transition from a diet primarily of regurgitated food from parents to hunting for their own food. Additionally, they gain social skills and learn vital survival behaviors, such as foraging and navigating their environment.
