As of Patch 7.1 there are 4 new Falcosaur pets. Each of the pets is associated with a different world quest around the Broken Isles. These pets all provide a quest chain to obtain a different mount. These quest chains require a couple of weeks to complete as each subsequent quest becomes available from your summoned pet after the daily reset after completing the previous quest.

To get each pet, you must first kill the Matriarch in the world quest area, which will cause the NPC version of the pet to spawn. The next step is to go to the NPC and interact with it and feed it its favourite food. If you don't have the food, you won't obtain the pet. There are vendors selling the required foods at the closest flightpaths to each world quest for most of these so just remember to pick some up on your way there!

Important note on orphans: I've encountered issues with the orphans not spawning after killing the matriarch. This isn't affected by the matriarch's nest but it does seem to be affected by getting the last hit on the matriarch. If you can't see the orphan after killing the matriarch then you may need to wait for the respawn. To check if you have completed the requirements to see the orphan run the scripts below.

[npc=115784] - Snowfeather Swarm!
This pet can be picked up from [npc=115737] in Highmountain (/way Highmountain 32.5, 28.2) after killing the [npc=115673] (/way Highmountain 35.1, 21.9). The food it wants is [item=128839], which can be picked up from [npc=108504] (/way Highmountain 29.8, 40.0).
Summoning this pet offers you the quest Raising Your Snowfeather which starts the quest chain to obtain [item=137578].
Subsequent quests: The Smell of Humans (Alliance) or The Smell of Orcs (Horde) > Hunting Lesson: Northern Hawk Owls > Allies in Highmountain > Snowfeather Team Up > Deadly Prey > Hunting Lesson: Spiketail Beaver > The Unfriendly Faction > Snowfeather Bonding > Hunting Lesson: Mudshell Conch > Teamwork Lesson: Naraxas > Hunting Lesson: Coralback Fiddler > Teamwork Lesson: Ursoc > Snowfeather Team Rumble > Snowfeather Reunion

[npc=115787] - Bloodgazer Swarm!
This pet can be picked up from [npc=115741] in Azsuna (/way Azsuna 35.5, 7.5) after killing the [npc=115674] (/way Azsuna 35.6, 5.7). The food it wants is [item=128843], which can be picked up from [npc=109372] (/way Azsuna 47.2, 41.4) - this one is a long way from the quest area so try to plan ahead or you'll be running a long way to find food and will have to kill the matriarch again.
Summoning this pet offers you the quest Raising Your Bloodgazer which starts the quest chain to obtain [item=137577].
Subsequent quests: The Smell of Draenei (Alliance) or The Smell of Blood Elves (Horde) > Hunting Lesson: Erudite Manafiend > Allies in Azsuna > Bloodgazer Team Up > Dangerous Prey > Hunting Lesson: Fledgling Kingfeather > The Unfavorable Faction > Bloodgazer Bonding > Hunting Lesson: Juvenile Scuttleback > Teamwork Lesson: Serpentrix > Hunting Lesson: Felspider > Teamwork Lesson: Skorpyron > Bloodgazer Team Rumble > Bloodgazer Reunion

[npc=115785] - Direbeak Swarm!
This pet can be picked up from [npc=115742] in Stormheim (/way Stormheim 79.8, 69.6) - jump down from the rocks above to reach here - after killing [npc=115671] (/way Stormheim 79, 76). The food it wants is [item=128763], which can be picked up from [npc=98112] (/way Stormheim 71.6, 60.6).
Summoning this pet offers you the quest Raising Your Direbeak which starts the quest chain to obtain [item=137579].

[npc=115786] - Sharptalon Swarm!
This pet can be picked up from [npc=115740] in Val'Sharah (/way Val'Sharah 47.0, 10.5) after killing [npc=115672] (/way Val'Sharah 48.0, 9.8). This world quest is somewhat awkward to get to but I recommend coming in from Highmountain (glider from a high point in the north-west or water walking around from the coast). The food it wants is [item=128837], which can be picked up from [npc=96784] in Dalaran (/way Dalaran 52.6, 34.4) - there are a variety of vendors in Highmountain who also sell the item should you choose to get to the world quest from there.
Summoning this pet offers you the quest Raising Your Sharptalon which starts the quest chain to obtain [item=137580].
Subsequent quests: The Smell of Night Elves (Alliance) or The Smell of Undead (Horde) > Hunting Lesson: Spring Strider > Allies in Val'sharah > Sharptalon Team Up > Destructive Prey > Hunting Lesson: Terror Larva > The Uncongenial Faction > Sharptalon Bonding > Hunting Lesson: Auburn Ringtail > Teamwork Lesson: Dresaron > Hunting Lesson: Vale Flitter > Teamwork Lesson: Xavius > Sharptalon Team Rumble > Sharptalon Reunion
