The Third Fastest Bird in The World- Gyrfalcons

Gyrfalcons are known for their high speed dive and long drawn wings. Gyrfalcons are the world's largest falcon. Their length can be 20-24 inches and weight up to 1.3 kg. During a dive steeply steeply catching prey from the great height, a gyrfalcon could reach maximum speed of 130 mph. Gyrfalcons have exceptional control over their rapid dive.
The dive of gyrfalcons includes many phases. They increase or decrease the speed by changing the position of their wings. The gyrfalcons have broad pointed wings. Their wingspan measures 50 inches in length from one tip to another.
