The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest in the air and the Ostrich is the fastest on land. It depends on what state of movement you're looking for, running, flying or diving? Falcons 'torpedo' faster than any other bird of prey when they are in pursuit...Some birds run faster than they fly. Sorry, can't tell you who flies the fastest.

The Spine-tailed Swift is considered to be the fastest bird in straight flight.

Answer In flight speed the top five are. 1. the peregrine falcon-175 mph, 2. the spine-tailed swift-106 mph, 3. the frigate bird-95 mph, 4. the spur-winged goose-88 mph, 5. the red-breasted merganser-80 mph.
