Birds of prey, also known as raptor birds, are predatory birds that hunt and feed on live prey through speed, stealth, and surprise ambush attacks. They possess several specialized adaptations that aid their roles as predators, including sharp talons for catching and killing prey, hooked beaks for tearing flesh, and exceptional eyesight for spotting prey from afar.
Raptors utilize a range of hunting techniques from patiently waiting in concealed perches to swiftly diving down onto unsuspecting prey.
