I’ve found the Hummingbird to be slightly faster but also a little bit more dense/solid than the Peregrine.

Peregrine is slightly bigger, wider and a touch floatier than the hummingbird, it is still very fast but I find the humming bird is a smidge faster.  
Hummingbird can be slippery on binds, where I find the Perigrine has more reliable binds that are less slippery.  
I found the Peregrine to feel more modern than the hummingbird and see the Peregrine as a Hummingbird 2.0.

At the time of the Peregrine’s release, both the Hummingbird and Peregrine were flagships and both were available at the same time- the majority of the Yoyofriends team, preferred using the Peregrine over the Hummingbird in competition.

The Hummingbird is, and always will be a classic and is extremely fast.  
The Peregrine seems closer to modern competition preferences.

Hopefully that helps.

Perfect and exactly the analysis I was looking for. They’re both approx the same price, I’m considering one this month at some point.

If you choose peregrine and aren’t after a specific color, I have a basically new one for sale.

> Both very mint. The Peregrine has been played only a few times, and never dropped or dinged. The Akita I took out of the box once and played with before putting it in my padded yoyo case and never touching it again. Prices include shipping within US.
