Did you know?
The characteristic of birds of prey is the consumption of liveprey, generally small and medium-sized mammals and other birds. The type of prey obviously depends on the size and characteristics of the raptor. For example, the accipids,having considerable size and strength in the claws,prefer prey such as mice and other rodents up to even chamois,in the case of thegoldeneagle.
Falcons, generally smaller in size and more agility in flight, hunt smaller prey, but manage to catch prey even inflight. For example, the peregrine falcon feeds almost exclusively on other birds hunted in flight by killing its prey thanks mainly to theimpact.
