The Maltese Falcon isn't just a film - the falcon first gained significance in Maltese history when the Knights of Saint John were ordered to gift two falcons to the King of Spain and his viceroy in Sicily as payment for their settlement on the islands.
Watch as Clare meets a peregrine falcon, the fastest animal on earth.
