Explanation:
Birds as large as sandhill cranes, and as small as hummingbirds, have been consumed by falcons. Their typical prey items include shorebirds, ducks, grebes, gulls, pigeons, and songbirds. Peregrine falcons also eat bats, and they occasionally steal prey—including fish and rodents—from other raptors.
How much does a peregrine falcon eat in a day? An adult peregrine will eat about 70 grams (2 1/2 ounces) of food per day. This is equal to about two blackbirds.
Peregrine falcons are solitary, territorial, top predators. Those that migrate live alone more than 8 months of the year, spending only 16-18 weeks with a mate raising a family. Non-migratory peregrines, such as those in Pittsburgh, stay on territory alone or as a mated pair.
