High above rocky cliffs and glassy city skyscrapers, one of the fastest animals on Earth rules the sky. 

Meet Perry, a peregrine falcon who loves speed, daring dives, and pushing the limits. One day, a powerful storm sweeps Perry far from his lakeside home and into a bustling city he’s never seen before. Lost, nervous, and completely out of his comfort zone, Perry must learn new ways to fly, hunt, and survive with the help of a clever city falcon named Penny. Along the way, he discovers that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is adapt.

Join Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza as they soar, swoop, and explore the incredible world of peregrine falcons. 

Kids will discover:

• Why peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth
• How falcons hunt other birds in midair using special beaks and talons
• How animals use adaptations to survive when their environment changes
• How scientists helped peregrine falcons make an amazing comeback after facing extinction
