      The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird when it is diving to catch its prey! It goes very high into the sky and then rockets down at speeds of up to 250 miles per hour!

      But actually, the peregrine falcon isn’t that fast when flying forwards in a straight line – ducks can be much faster, which is why the peregrine falcon has to fly so high in order to catch its dinner!
