A Peregrine's prey of choice is other birds, particularly pigeons. The peregrine climbs high above it's intended victim, and dives with incredible speed, wings folded, at it's prey. The peregrine is travelling so fast as it hit's it's prey that it is killed instantly by the impact, thus saving the Peregrine from having to deal with a struggling meal, which can weigh as much, if not more than the falcon.
