Notre‑Dame is habitat. Hawks perch; sparrows nest; cleaning crews balance ecology with care.

🌿 Interactions

  • Perches: Pinnacles and tracery host raptors.
  • Nests: Maintenance schedules relocate gently.
  • Cleaning: Biological growth managed with soft methods.

🐦 Ecology Notes

  • Seasons: Migration peaks in spring.
  • Policy: Work avoids nesting periods.
  • Monitoring: Visual logs by staff.
