Falcon

Falcons, Peregrine falcon, Falconry, Kestrel

The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on earth, reaching more than 200 miles an hour as it dives. In dreams a falcon carries ideas of speed, precision and the confidence that comes with skill. For centuries falconers have trained these birds to hunt alongside people, so a falcon can also stand for wild talent shaped by discipline. One flying freely can mean you're itching to move fast and show what you can do. Seeing a falcon perched on a city building is a reminder that something untamed can thrive in the most ordinary settings.
