Although the Peregrine Falcon gets all the publicity for being the fastest living animal on earth, all the large falcons have the ability to exceed 250 MPH in a long stoop from high altitudes. These include the Gyrfalcon, Prairie Falcon, and all the now sought after hybrids of these individual species. Gravity favors a heavier bird such as a Gyrfalcon, (being the largest), but also the hardest/tightest feathered bird (being the peregrine) which has less drag at high speeds. Now, in a straight line flight with no angel of attack, a Gyrfalcon can regularly out pull a Peregrine, and out distance one too with it's more powerfull build. So for a combined speed average, probably the Gyrfalcon is the fastest.

Why do seagulls fly in circles?
This type of phenomenon is scientifically known as a "gull-nado" Named a gull-nado because of its tornado like appearance, gull-nadoes usually form over restaurants or city dumps in the seeking of a food source and use the circling action similar to Hawks and Eagles when seeking prey. There have been several reports of gull-nado activities along fast food truck stops, and roads heavy with fast food areas also known as a Gull-nado Alley. Gull-nadoes shouldn't be taken lightly and there is a F-1 though F-5 catagory. If you experience a gull-nado, seek the nearest fallout shelter. Sense gull-nadoes usually form near fast food areas that sell greasy, deep fried food, one should head towards a subway, farmers market or anywhere that fresh food is sold. Gull-nadoes will quickly dissipate in these areas and will quickly head towards a better food source.
