What do Peregrine falcons eat? How do they obtain food?
A. Peregrines primarily eat birds they catch in the air. A peregrine will typically fly above its prey, then fold its wings and dive or “stoop” at the other bird and grab it or strike it in the air, then retrieving the stunned or dead bird in mid-air. Urban peregrines tend to eat a lot of pigeons, and this pair is no exception, but they eat a variety of the species available.
