Falco est genus avium familiae Falconidarum. Falconum sunt triginta septem species, per orbem pervulgatae.

Falcones adultae habent alas tenues et acuminatas, quibus velociter volare et directionem? mutare possunt. Falcones peregrini observati sunt celeritate 320 km/h volantes; unde velocissimae in orbe terrarum bestiae sunt.

Homines diu falconibus in venatione usi sunt, quae falconaria appellatur.
