Falcons

The peregrine falcon is arguably the fastest bird in the sky. Its streamlined body, powerful muscles and swept-back wing shape are perfect for fast flight.

During level flight, with motion generated by wing-beats alone, they can reach speeds between 40-60 mph. This is one of the fastest known speeds for level flight with only a few species of duck, wader and pigeon known to reach similar speeds in comparable flight.

Most species of wild bird will have many different flying styles which they use in different situations. Birds will reach different speeds during these different flight styles. Migrating birds will often have a fast and steady rhythm, often using the wind to assist them. General flight will be more pedestrian whilst display flights and predator prey interactions can result in short sharp bursts of fast flight. It is during aerial pursuit where extremely fast speeds are reached by both predator and prey and this is where the peregrine is in a league of its own.

Birds of prey often use a controlled dive known as a stoop whilst hunting. This hunting technique is amongst the most spectacular of wildlife behaviour across the animal kingdom.

The actual speed that a peregrine reaches in a stoop will be effected by the wind speed and duration of the dive, which will vary in every situation. Because of these variables there is not a confirmed top speed however it is thought that it is possible for a peregrine in ideal conditions to reach speeds of up to 200 mph which is phenomenal.

The forces that the peregrine is exposed to during a stoop are mind boggling. What makes it even more fascinating is that at the end of the stoop, this unique raptor is still able to deliver a controlled blow and to carry away the unfortunate victim.

rarely they only hunt at night if they have to. for example, if the chick is hungry the mother goes and finds food

After Monna Giovanni's explanation Federigo kills his falcon. He killed the falcon to feed Monna Giovanni because he had nothing else to give her.

In level flight they fly about 100 km/hour. When they dive towards a prey they can reach speads up to approximately 350km/hour

A peregrine falcon flies at 202 mph, making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom.

A male Red-tailed Hawk may weigh from 690 to 1300 grams (1.5 to 2.9 pounds) and measure 45-56 cm (18 to 22 in), while a female can weigh between 900 and 2000 grams (2 and 4.4 pounds) and measure 50-65 cm (20 to 26 in) in length.

The female is slightly larger than the male. Link to wikipedia below.

it attacks any intruders

Then there would be a lot of mice running around everywhere.

Only if it begins a sentence.

they eat mice and they swallow it whole as they have not got any teeth

A falcon is both because if it were on the ground long enough stray cats could come and kill it and eat it. However, falcons are predatory animals by natural selection so if you're a small animal for example, you would be the prey and the falcon would be the predator.

100mph. It can sometimes even outfly birds such as the swift when hunting.

They go door to door selling expensive Kirby vacuum cleaners, making money not only off the sale of the cleaners but off the financing that they offer.

ask haseeb malik at haseebmalik@live.co.uk btw im gay xoxo

Bc

they fly or walk

peregrine falcons have no natural predaters,but some scavengers eat the dead birds

Larger bird of prey and Mammals like foxes would prey on a peregrine but they would find it hard to catch them because they are so fast.

When diving to capture prey, the peregrine falcon can exceed speeds of 200 miles per hour (322 kilometres per hour).

"They are the fastest animal on the planet. Nothing is faster than them actually" was said. However, this is not true. In normal flight a peregian falcon can only go around 80 mph, while the spine-tailed swift, can go around 107 mph. The peregian falcon can only be counted as the fastest when diving. While diving, this falcon can reach 200 mph.

the kestrel leaves about 14 years
