        They will too! My neighborhood murder is enormous, and they keep the airspace clear of bald eagles. If an eagle ever dares enter our neighborhood, the crows flock out of the trees by the hundreds and chase that motherfucker off, cawing all the way. When they’re done, they all return to the trees and caw for a good half hour afterwards. My guess is they’re talking about how bad ass they are.

      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
