Question: What is your favorite bird

Anthony Caravaggi answered on 15 Mar 2017:

My favourite bird is probably the peregrine falcon. It’s a fabulous bird of prey which nests on cliff-faces or tall city buildings. It has evolved to dive onto its prey from a huge height. When diving, it can reach over 180 mph! If we fell at 180 mph, we might pass out or be unable to see or breathe. The peregrine is specially adapted to be able to do both of these things and control the direction of the fall.
