| − | '''Peregrine falcons''' are small [[Creature|birds]] who can be found in almost every [[biome]], excluding [[ocean]]s, [[glacier]]s, and [[tropical]] rain [[forest]]s. They spawn one at a time and occasionally dive down from the sky to kill [[vermin]] on the ground, being harmless to a [[dwarf]] and benign to other creatures. Females are known as ''peregrine falcons'', while males are known as ''tiercel peregrines'' | + | '''Peregrine falcons''' are small [[Creature|birds]] who can be found in almost every [[biome]], excluding [[ocean]]s, [[glacier]]s, and [[tropical]] rain [[forest]]s. They spawn one at a time and occasionally dive down from the sky to kill [[vermin]] on the ground, being harmless to a [[dwarf]] and benign to other creatures. Females are known as ''peregrine falcons'', while males are known as ''tiercel peregrines'' and their young are called ''peregrine falcon chicks''. All peregrine falcons are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]]. |
Peregrine falcons can be captured with [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into low-value [[pet]]s. They can be put into [[nest box]]es in order to be part of a fort's [[egg production]], but hatching them for [[meat]] is worthless - peregrine falcons are too small to produce anything but a [[skull]]. While they are the fastest birds in real life, reaching dive speeds of 200+ mph (320 km/h), ''Dwarf Fortress'' does not handle [[gait]]s faster than 87 km/h, instead using this as maximum flight speed, which nonetheless makes them the fastest fliers in the game. Note that trained peregrine falcons will no longer display their dive-hunting behavior, but when tamed they may hunt vermin. | Peregrine falcons can be captured with [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into low-value [[pet]]s.
