5 Interesting Facts About Falcons!

The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on Earth - it reaches speeds of over 380km/h in a hunting stoop (dive), which is faster than a Formula 1 car at full speed.
Falcons don't build their own nests - they take over the abandoned nests of other large birds, or nest on cliff ledges and increasingly on tall city buildings and bridges.
They have a small bony projection called a tomial tooth on their beak - used to sever the spinal cord of prey mid-air, killing it instantly before it hits the ground.
Falconry - the art of hunting with trained falcons - is one of the oldest human traditions, practised for over 4,000 years and still performed in cultures across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
Peregrine falcons were nearly wiped out in the 20th century by the pesticide DDT, which thinned their eggshells. After DDT was banned, they made a remarkable comeback and now thrive in most cities.
