  • Well after the couple years this video has been listed I have came to a conclusion...

    ANY ONE who owns a flacon or any other bird thay thinks it can take one of my top racers... BRING IT ON. We will even get it on video and let the youtubers check it out.

    To all of you pigeon haters that hunt with falcons and etc. I am all for betting. I have seen my top racers out fly, climb, and manouver to many times.

    Any Challangers?

  • Falcons are way faster than pigeons, they can go more than 150mph when they are diving. The Peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world.

  • i have to admit..that was one fast pigeon. But falcons are not known for their pursuit capablities. They normally climb to a high altitude and go into a power dive and their prey never sees them coming...the impact usually kills the prey instantly. Falcons have been clocked at over 250 mph in a dive. But pigeons are far stronger and faster than they are given credit for...and also have great endurance.

  • I like eagles. theyre nice

  • YAYYYYYYYYYY

    Mr. Pigeon

    He will live on forever

  • there are breeds of pigeons in southeast europe which are known for great speed diving. I don't think it is near the 180+ range, but it is still very fast. They dive straight down and pull out of the dive at a pretty low altitude and make magnificent recovery/landing displays. All birds which fly to survive (which is probably all flying birds) are magnificent, breathtaking natural born aviators. They put human pilots to shame, in almost every aspect. vision, cardiopulmonary, etc.

  • tha'ts probly just two pigeons flying together lmao Video is all herky jerky.

    Besides it isn't said that a falcon flys that fast at level flight they reach their great speed in dives.

  • In these videos you can see that the falcon level speed is equal or greater than that of a pigeon. Some of the pigeons are racers and some are probably not, but almost all falcons on that videos are falconry birds , that are lacking stamina end speed of a wild falcon and have metal bells and Jesses that bring additional weight and obstruction of aerodynamics.

    There is only one case when the pigeon is pulling away from a falcon and that is by climbing because of lighter loading of his wings.

  • Here are some interesting titles where you can watch tail chases between falcons and pigeons:

    1. New Zealand Falcon chase 2

    2. Cetreria, Altaneria, halcon a paloma.mpg

    3. Cetreria, Altaneria, copla de halcones, uno del campo, a paloma.mpg

    4. Falconstoop

    5. harry tail chasing

    6. IX TROREAL cetreria

    7. Peregrine Falcons vs. Flock of Pigeons

    In all cases falcon lost intial speed from stoop and started tail cahse.

    We can discuss each aspect off flight on every video.

  • Vtec kick in y0!!
