Falcon is a bird of prey that belongs to the Genus falco. There are
various species of these raptor birds in the genus falco family. Their
long wings and powerful beaks that are adapted to the way the birds do
hunting can identify them by strongly clawing and then they will tear
meat of the captured animal. Normally when falcon fully mature, they
can fly at extreme high speed and easily changes directions because
their wings are tapered and thins. For young falcons, they longer flight
feather are normal with any other flying bird but they make it easy for
young bird to learn how to fly. Beside that, the young falcon also will
learn superior prey hunting skills that will make them familiar with it so
that when they grown up, it make easy for them to hunting.
Stoops begin 300-3,000 feets above their prey and
either by grabing or by striking it with the feet, hard
enough to stun or kill it.
Falcon commonly nest in holes in tree or on natural ledges on cliffs. They
normally will have four to five eggs with buffy white colour, speckled and blotched
reddish brown on it. The maturation period for the egg is 28 or 35 days and when
the young falcon’s come out, they will be take care for 35 days.
