You can see her spread her wings slightly to slow herself. Shes not even trying.
Absolutely incredible animal
There's a paper saying that a Peregrine's max speed is 389 mph. That's when they start trying
@@siddiqgamesyt3354 sure it's not kmph :D
@@puneeth9b Its not kmph :)
@@siddiqgamesyt3354 Mother of God :O
@@puneeth9b it is. max is roughly 400 kph / 240 mph
When they take the hood off the peregrine at 1:20 it starts freaking out like "How the hell did I get up here!?"

LOL - like a laser beam through paper I bet

Lady's just like "Look at these silly humans trying to dive."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@putitinreverseterry well it's not that impressive for humans since it's based on weight, but for something as small and fragile as the peregrine falcon Is impressive
russell yeah but last time I checked it's a small bird that goes faster than most cars, thaaaats impressive
I was thinking the same thing😂😂😂
800th like.
Just food for thought. The Suzuki Hayabusa is one of the fastest production motorcycles in the world with a top speed of 194 mph. It's one badass bike. "Hayabusa" is Japanese for peregrine falcon.
Brett Scott actually the Kawasaki H2R is the fastest production motorcycle at 249mph or 400kmh
Rickish Monkey66 you mean the H2R ninja which isnt street legal lol
Rickish Monkey66 you know the H2R didn't come out when he made that comment? Also he said the Busa was ONE of the fastest bikes which is definitely correct.
He didn’t say it was the fastest he said it was ONE OF the fastest.
Brett Scott ninja h2r
Am I the only one that thought Lady took one look at how high up they were and, despite being adapted for it, was still like "HOLY SHIT!! We are WAY up here!!"
Dude said nothing about the bird being female... All they said was that “Lady”, the name of the bird, was like “HOLY SHIT!”... etc
@@nihiladest3492 they actually do refer to lady as “she” around 3:19
They? Really? An animal? 🤦
@@eightohthreefilms they is the pronoun to use in plural situations, and there were multiple living things in the air in this video. did you want the commenter to say "hes" or "shes"? like, I'm so confused
@@katherineamelia98 nvm I'm a dumbfuck
The Peregrine Falcon can take up to 24G in a dive like this. An air force pilote can't take more than 11G and they have a special suit to presure all the blood in to the head. It's an amazing criature

Lloyd, the owner of the falcon, has quite a few different types of birds that have been featured in movies and the show Nova and I'm sure other shows. He and his wife love birds and keep them at their home. He trains them. By training I don't necessarily mean tricks, although he does do that, but he trains them in how to be adult bird and everything they need to know to survive since he gets them as eggs or babies. He also trains them to do things for tests for science. His goose was in a movie but I forgot the name of it. He has owls, geese, ducks, peregrine falcons, I think a crow, and bunch of other birds. Lloyd, his wife, and the birds all live in Britain somewhere. Lloyd has been raising birds since he was a teenager. He has always loved them and has high respect for them. I highly recommend watching all the different episodes of Nova that feature his birds.
Do you know if he has apt licenses?
I love how this pops up on my recommended 12 years later
15. Watching in 2024😊
Its amazing how far off that falcon was from her top speed... they can reach up to 240 mph.. wow.
well, you see the speedometer showed 180+ meaning it could have gone that fast, plus that was the fastest recorded, some are slower.
The larger peregrine falcons can go up to 154-174 meters per second which has an equivalent of 350-389 mph
@@siddiqgamesyt3354 350-389 kmph*
@@El.broder No there is a pdf that states 160+ meters a second.
@@siddiqgamesyt3354 i'm acting as the dictionary police here, 389 mph is 626 kph and thats not possible for a bird
Yeah but how fast can a peregrine falcon run?
They say 220 mph
and will it blend?
Ettercap they've actually been clocked @ 46mph runnin!
but Hotel?, Trivago
It's 200. Kmph

Pecking in her own little world, then looking up with an expression as if to say "Yeah, what?"
These birds are my favourite animal. The definition of speed.
This falcon should've got GIECO. Could've saved 15mins.
Lol GEICO just pay you for that genius comment lol.
what if the bird just caught flames while diving.

Kasiorex G omg your pfp is so cute 😍
0.11 what a badass shot of her. She looks the part of the respect the bird commands. Impressive indeed.
Anyone else feel nervous as they looked down?
I really think all this stuff about how fast things fall is totally beside the point. A falling elephant just falls until it goes SPLASH!!! A falcon has complete control of its velocity and direction, all of which it can adjust with phenomenal precision. The real point is that the falcon is performing what it was evolved to do to the greatest peak which evolution has developed. It is not just falling, it is acting.
or diving
Its falling with style
Yes a truly amazing bird! To have the percision to catch prey at that speed!
@@bonesmalone5802 But Lady has no style 😂
Evolved? Evolution is fake and impossible. The hayabusa is an incredible designed creature by our creator. I mean a fighter jet which has hayabusa designs is not a product of evolution, but human design.
wow, gorgeous bird, have to admire a wild animal that can do 180 mph. falcons were probably flying at those kinds of speeds when we as a species were still banging rocks together trying to make fire. amazing.

@@greencheetah1992 good thanks
The people that disliked this video are just mad because they will never know what it’s like to reach this type of speed
😂😂😂
I am watching this video in 2019 November
Why did the guy say wait like 423429 times
He had to be sure Lady had all her attention on the lure. It would have resulted in a wasted trip. Upon removing Lady's hood she starts squawking and gets jumpy, she's not focused. When the other trainer said GO she was focused. At 10,000 ft. Lady has a lot to distract her. She could count the stitches on a baseball, 2 football fields away. Love the footage guys thanx, Awesome work.
Helpful comments deserve observation. Thank you for clearing this up; I've learned something about birds today.
building the suspense
Ralph he was making sure that the Falcon didn’t dive yet
Imagine if they'd jumped before the bird was ready how long it would take to land the balloon, get everyone back on board and get back up to that altitude. A few "waits" was worth it.
Absolutely gorgeous bird....GOD i love all animals... watching her with such control. Brought a tear to my eyes... such beauty... all animals are so precious...
Totally awesome footage guys, thanks. Keep sharing.
just 180 mph ? have read various times that it can reach 240 mph
U mean 240 kph?
WhatUwant? no they goes as fast as 242mph
yup they're faster than any living creature
rzz1122 well... human on spaceship XD
WhatUwant? lol right
who cares which falls faster, that bird is awesome!
3:49 branded with a Compton sounding beat at the end. I mean the falcon even nodded his head a bit😂😂😂

I've just seen a video on NatGeo where that amazing bird have reached a speed of 240 mph. Incredible!
Hermoso e impresionante video cuánta adrenalina, felicitaciones genios!
"My ultimate killer" thats the mismatch of facial expression and such words : scary words... smile and affection on face!
Some say Lady flew away shortly after snatching the bait, and a body double was used at the end of the video.
I got to see a Peregrine Falcon today... Absolutely amazing animals!
How's things going 11 years on?
They're my favorite animal.. what beautiful birds.
That is an absolutely stunning bird.I love all sorts of birds-we have a regular array of 'teeny birbs',like dark-eyed juncos,chickadees and militant hummingbirds,but birds of prey are my favorites!
This is absolutely awesome,what a fantastic bird.By far my favourite bird of prey.
I was 2 whenever u commented this
Nothing surprising..air is their world, all we can do is admire their beauty and use our intelligence to preserve them..
Love watching peregrines and especially a pair working together.
ONe of my favorite exhibits at the Texas Indian Market was the Birds of Prey exhibit. Also at the TX Renaissance fair, they would let these beauties fly over the heads of the crowd, from a good distance so you could feel the rush of air as they passed over, silently. Simply magnificent. Even vultures are amazingly beautiful. Saw some at Enchanted Rock. When one flew at my car, its wingspan must have been 7 feet, and it seemed to just take a step and levitate. Birds are cool.
disagree with the style comment
stunning video, love the sky diving and the stunt Lady has shown :)

Thanks for information
We don't have the most exciting bird life in the world compared to the tropics, but we've got the peregrine, and that's good enough for me...
I had seen Peregrine Falcon demonstrations while working at an airport in Canada. They are used to scare away other birds so they don't damage the planes. I knew they could swoop fast but had no idea they could go that fast.
How are you going 14 years from then?
They can actually go faster, up to 240 m.p.h.
30 second ad and no skip are you kidding me
lol wtf are you talking about?
the videos is not monetized
Ad - block buddy ? Damn some people are so un cultured
She's lovely, amazing video!
🎉fantastic. Thank you for sharing
Miss Peregrine and peculiar Children brought me here :D
Such an amazing video!
Absolutely beautiful video - Oh It is fantastic!
Why are these falcons so significantly faster than other birds?
They have special Aerodynamic in there body also with this speed near to 400 km his lung can easily explode so again they have different lungs than other birds
+Rowan Manders Because they are the only animals evolved to be able to do this and not die.
aspiknf they are 50 mph faster pretty significant ID say
not only birds its faster than any animal in the world
One big part of it is the tubercles, a tiny bone in the nostrils that restrict air flow into the lungs so they can breathe normally at the insane speeds they reach when in full stoop

One day I wanna race a cheetah
Facinating,brilliant test
These guys have the best job ever!
Have to admire their courage for sky-diving from that height, let alone taking the predators prey by you. That bird could have pecked their eyes out.
haha that bird is crazy

Thank you.
Something made you watch! Nature is far from boring. Its complex, vivid & fantastic. This was a small but excellent experiment to demonstrate the ability of a beautiful & unique creature. I say well done to the team. It looked very scary
2:06 someone let out a Ron Weasley "Bloody Hell!!"
I was wondering why that man kept yelling 'white,white!' But I think he was telling them to 'wait' lol 😂
I think anyone ever dreamed about flying like a bird, and certainly if you look at this great bird who is also the fastest animal in the world ..thank you for this great shot greetings from the Netherlands
That was a really cool video.
I don't think I'd ever do that because I'm afraid of heights
Was expecting the falcon to dive bomb the guys
When that bird pulls back her wings that was awesome!
Nice
Awesome bird 🦅

This stuff is totally amazing. Peregrine falcons can fly fast while in control. I read that they have a top speed of 242 mph. Next video: Falcon vs. falling cheetah vs falling black marlin vs falling elephant.
I heard that they could accelerate at 389 mph
@@siddiqgamesyt3354 No they can't. That's kph (kilometers per hour.)
@@kavisutaria1180 Actually there is a paper on it, MPH not kph, I know they didn't make a mistake because they wrote meters per second.
@@siddiqgamesyt3354 meters per second??

I remember this show, and the peregrine falcon was nominated as the fastest creature on earth because of reaching speeds up to almost 400 kilometers per hour, outclassing the cheetah and the marlin. But I think it should be different categories, fastest runner, swimmer and so on. It`s not fair to compare a creature that dives in the air, to an animal that has to run. He said himself that the falcon is playing around, effortlessly. Can you say that a cheetah is running effortlessly? The falcon uses gravity as aid to go fast, a cheetah cannot.
Granted a peregrine falcon in a straight flight can reach 68 mph which is just 7 mph off from a cheetahs top speed. Other birds of prey can also achieve this speed if not faster in a horizontal flight. But yeah people using different categories should be more common even after 4 years of your comment being made.
Awesome bird!! Awesome video!!

What a fascinating creature.
if you drop cheetah from that height it will get same speed.
Slavko Gojkovic No, it wont. Terminal veloicty will not allow it too accelerate at such a high speed.
Lol
thats why the world invented school
HAHAHA school was invented so that people wouldn't be fucking dropping cheetahs everywhere
I thought cheetah was the fastest animal
