Comment on brave little bird
nBodyProblem@lemmy.world 2 months agoReally depends on the individual birds in question IMO. A red tailed hawk for example is really best optimized for prey on the ground like rabbits. On the other hand, a peregrine falcon is optimized for aerial prey and they eat everything from hummingbirds to geese

Doesn’t the peregrine take those out at mach 69 from the air and not while the cocky little shit is talking smack in his ear on a branch though?

That’s what they’re famous for. However, they can catch prey like songbirds by simply being faster and more agile than the quarry, chasing them down in horizontal flight. Some journal articles credit it with a horizontal top speed in the 90 mph range.
