How much space does a peregrine falcon need?

Peregrine falcons are highly adaptable birds that can thrive in a variety of habitats, including urban areas. However, for their natural hunting and breeding activities, they require open spaces. The territory size can vary significantly depending on the habitat, but generally, a pair of peregrine falcons may need a territory ranging from about 0.5 to 3 square kilometers. This area provides them with suitable hunting grounds, nesting sites, and perches. In urban environments, they can often manage with much smaller spaces, such as tall buildings and open areas.
