Fish-eating birds are a diverse group of avian species that primarily feed on fish and other aquatic organisms. Common examples include herons, kingfishers, and ospreys. These birds have specialized adaptations, such as sharp beaks and keen eyesight, which help them locate and catch their prey in water.
Many fish-eating birds are found near lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, where they can easily access their food sources. Their hunting techniques vary; some, like bald eagles, dive from the air to snatch fish, while others, like cormorants, dive underwater to catch their meals. These birds play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of aquatic ecosystems.
