Not usually. The bird feeds mainly on small to moderately sized birds. Occasionally, it will hunt small rodents. However, in times of scarcity, a Peregrine has the capability to prey on rabbits.

Peregrine falcons are carnivores, meaning they eat meat.

Peregrine falcons hunt for food in the air and attach their claws to a bird in flight, or otherwise overwhelm their prey. Their main food sources are other birds.

From Wikipedia:

"The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop, making it the fastest extant member of the animal kingdom."
