Birds of prey use their sharp talons, beaks, and incredible eyesight to catch and eat small animals, birds, and insects. Like all predators they keep nature in balance. Without birds of prey, the animals and insects they eat might take over the world! We learn about raptors hunting behaviour, physical features of birds of prey, flight, regurgitated pellets, the owl in ancient Greece and Rome, vultures, owl calls, and endangered birds of prey.
