Abstract
A brief exploration of a Falco peregrinus case.
With a new kingdom we need to understand the indicators to this kingdom, the themes embraced by it.
The bird realm has the usual animal theme of survival, and the bird’s survival method is to fly. They fly out of danger, out of the trap, the prison. Birds are hunters, and often the feeling is of the hunter, swooping on prey. Speed is an essential tool for birds, and bird cases, particularly the raptors, show a love of speed and an attraction to danger.
Keywords: Bird kingdom, Falco peregrinus, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, Buteo jamaiciensis, rage, trap, caught, curse, danger, speed, rise above, break free, suffocate.
