Could you tell me how fast the Gyrfalcon can fly and if it deserves a place in the top 10 of fastest birds.Dude where is the peregrin falcon? That was the worst list ever.The maximum recorded speed is 242 mph (389 km/h). However, it does not make the first when travelling in level flight. I believe the Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird, and in fact the fastest animal on the planet, when in its hunting dive, the stoop, in which it soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph.They glide most of the time as well as albatross. However, It reaches that speed only when it's DIVING. The fastest bird in the world is peregrine falcon.What of the eagle (golden eagle).It is said that there dive is highest.You guys are NOT trying to find out you are the fastest birds.I am very amazed!!!!!!I know you know this, but I'm telling you this,''The Peregrine Falcon is NOT the fastest moving bird.'' )(from Kiter Dave, Jan 2013) THE WORST LIST I SAW (from ASAD, Jan 2013) ARE YOU STUPID PEREGRINE IS FASTER THAN SPINE TAILED SWIFT.Peregrine falcon deserves a place in the list though assisted by gravity.afterall >100mph difference is hell of a thing.! (from kashif, Jan 2013).research before you get huffy (from amber rose, Feb 2013) The peregrine falcon doesn't deserve a spot here not matter what you say because these are birds that are fastest while traveling at a level flight the falcon is the fastest animal in the world but only because of gravity.I should think pigeon speed in level flight but way quicker in a dive. Tail and will dive into water chasing small fish. About the size of a dove, pure white with very sharp and tapered wings.V shaped A sheerwater is a very fast water bird.Which is faster peregrine or cheetah? (from Isaiah, Feb 2013).Peregrine falcon 'soar up and spread their wings to the wind.' citing the peregrine falcon as the fastest-flying bird, The Guinness Book of records says that it "reaches record speed levels when swooping from great heights during territorial displays, or when catching prey in midair." This bird has reached a speed of 349 kilometers per hour at a 45-degree angle of descent! (from Akerejola Phemy, Mar 2013).Spine-tailed swift, also known as the White-throated Needletail (scientific name: Hirundapus caudacutus) The top of this list, the Spine-tailed swift, obviously gets its name 'swift' for being so fast. The info is from several sources and you may find other contradicting lists elsewhere. The following list of birds is based on the travelling speed when measured in level flying. In 2016, Gary McCracken of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville measured the flight speed of the Brazilian free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis), and some achieved speeds of up to 160 kilometres per hour in level flight, which would make them faster than any bird. There may be other birds who are quicker, but are yet to be accurately tracked. In 2011 the great snipe was tracked from Sweden to central Africa, and found to fly non-stop over a distance of around 6,760 km (4,200 miles) at a 97 km/hr (60 mph). However, it does not make the top ten list below which is based on flying speed when travelling in level flight. It first soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph. When in its hunting dive, the stoop, the Peregrine Falcon is not only the fastest moving bird, it is the fastest animal on the planet. Many people think that the fastest bird is the Peregrine Falcon, which is the true if you are looking at gravity aided flight while diving. Birds swooping for food in the Northern Territory
