Comment on Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

  It’s only “fast” because it’s just falling.

    Ok buddy, let’s see you pull out of a terminal velocity (180mph) head first dive.

    As any pilot will tell you; if you manage to pull out of a dive it’s not falling out of the sky, it’s aerobatics.

    Ontop of this, it’s catching prey in it’s talons, let’s see you try and grab anything when traveling at 180mph in any direction.

  I’ll let my B&G macaws fight for me. However I do think the Peregrine is the best raptor in the world.

  Isn’t this also the bird that picked up its prey and drops them from a great height to kill them since it can’t kill with its claws?

    Even better. It curls its feet into fists and dive bombs with a 240mph punch to stun its prey, then casually walks up to finish the job with its beak.

    It kills with the real life Falcon Punch
