avian predators

Avian predators are bird species that hunt and feed on other animals, mainly smaller birds, mammals, fish, or insects. They have specialized adaptations such as sharp talons, hooked beaks, keen eyesight, and swift flight to catch their prey efficiently. Examples include hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons. These predators play an important role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling prey populations. Their hunting techniques vary, from perch-and-pounce to high-speed dives, and their prey selection depends on their size, habitat, and hunting strategy.
