A peregrine falcon named Swifty, which crashed into Taylor Swift’s concert set-up, has been released back into Stadium Australia.

In short: A peregrine falcon named Swifty that crashed Taylor Swift’s concert in Sydney was released at Stadium Australia after suffering a soft tissue injury. The bird was dehydrated and affected by extreme heat, rescued by Sydney Wildlife Rescue. Swifty is part of a family of falcons living in the stadium since 2018. Swifty was taken to Taronga Wildlife Hospital where he underwent treatment for an injured chest and received physiotherapy. The bird is expected to return to its nest in the stadium and provides pest control by hunting pigeons and rodents.
