Koohii stories:

1) [chibimizuno] 14-8-2009(26): The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world. It can reach speeds of over 322 km/h in a dive - over ten times as fast as a turkey!

2) [dihutenosa] 15-8-2008(20): My peregrine falcon recently has been having confidence issues - recently it dives out of the sky and misses the target completely. To boost its confidence, I got a nice, fat turkey, killed it, and then set it up on a big needle so it looked like it was still alive - just loafing about. Then I went to my peregrine falcon - "hey buddy, look! A nice fat turkey. I bet you can get it!" It goes for it, but it spears itself on the needle!!

3) [blannk] 23-1-2010(2): Finally it emerges who has been killing the turkeys of RtK3. Dihutenosa! Last turkey down, speared along with dihutenosa's ill-fated peregrine falcon on a needle. The latter was 準 semi- (#564 準) conscious for a time, until the last drop of the water of life drained from him. The former leaves behind no living relatives.

4) [mantixen] 31-7-2009(2): The peregrine falcon is used to feeding on medium-sized birds, so it would take ten of them to lift up a turkey.

5) [Peppi] 24-5-2009(2): A peregrine falcon is nothing more than a turkey with a compass needle to find its way.
