Which is the fastest bird in level flight and when diving? Are those speeds known?

Answer 1

As the others have mentioned, the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in a dive - over 200 mph.

In level flight though, the record is generally given to the spine-tailed swift of Eurasia. It has been clocked at 106 mph.

There are other very fast fliers out there as well, including other types of swifts, as well as ducks like the common merganser that have all been recorded at over 100 mph.

Answer 3

The peregrine is the fastest animal on the planet and has been recorded in stoop (dive) at over 250 mph, in level flight it is usually about 40 - 70 mph.

Answer 4

The Peregrine Falcon is a very fast flier, averaging 40-55 km/h (25-34 mph) in traveling flight, and reaching speeds up to 112 km/h (69 mph) in direct pursuit of prey. During its spectacular hunting stoop from heights of over 1 km (0.62 mi), the peregrine may reach speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph) as it drops toward its prey.
