It will also eat bats and rodents. The Peregrine falcon hunts by diving at 240 mph, swooping down on their prey, either killing the prey with his talons or, capturing it to eat later. This falcon has very few preditors, but the Great Horned Owl will sometimes go for a peregrine falcon. Humans are these falcons main preditors, not because we eat them, we don't, but we destroy their homes and poison their eggs.

When they hatch, the mother stays with them and their father serches for food. When they are old enough to fly and feed themselves, they will leave the nest and start familys of their own.
