'''Peregrine falcons''' can be found in almost every biome, excluding oceans, glaciers, and tropical rain forests. They take great delight in killing as many [[vermin]] as they can; it would be wise to [[Standing orders|order]] your dwarves not to collect outside vermin, unless you don't mind your [[refuse stockpile]]s being filled with [[remains]]. While females are simply referred to as peregrine falcons, males are known as tiercel peregrines. While they are the fastest birds in real life, reaching dive speeds of 200+ mph, in Dwarf Fortress they share the same base [[speed]] as many other creatures and do not have a "dive" attack. | '''Peregrine falcons''' can be found in almost every biome, excluding oceans, glaciers, and tropical rain forests.

| − | Once | + | Once tamed and domesticated, peregrine falcons make for a great [[cat]] replacement. They hunt vermin, fly, don't adopt owners and their births are easier to manage through [[egg]]s and [[nest box]]es. As a bonus, the eggs can be [[cook]]ed and consumed by dwarves. |
