Carnivorous Birds
Carnivorous birds, also known as raptors, primarily feed on other animals. This group includes species like eagles, hawks, and owls. They have sharp beaks and strong talons that help them catch and consume their prey. These birds are often found in various habitats, from forests to open fields, and they play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems.
Many carnivorous birds are skilled hunters, using keen eyesight to spot potential food from great distances. Some, like the peregrine falcon, are known for their incredible speed during dives to catch prey. Others, such as vultures, primarily scavenge, feeding on carrion to help clean the environment.
