The female Falco Peregrinus (or wandering falcon) both
physically and behaviourally dominates her mate.
She grows to 46-54cm in length, with males about two-thirds
the size of their female counterparts.
Peregrine falcons are blue grey in colour on their upper
parts, with a greyish abdomen criss-crossed by darker bars and
yellow legs. The birds have dark heads and cheeks. Their beaks
are slate blue with a black tip and a small tooth-like
projection on the upper side.
One of the peregrine falcon's most distinguishing features is
a dark “moustache” below the eyes. |
