Birds of prey are birds that hunt for food using their keen senses, especially vision. They are defined as birds that primarily hunt vertebrates, including other birds. Their talons and beaks tend to be relatively large, powerful and adapted for tearing and/or piercing flesh. Many species of bird may be considered partly or exclusively predatory; however, in ornithology the term "bird of prey" applies only to birds of the families listed below.
The diurnal birds of prey are formally classified into five families (traditionally of the order Falconiformes, a classification currently[vague] in flux):
Accipitridae: hawks, eagles, buzzards, harriers, kites and Old World vultures
Pandionidae: the Osprey (sometimes classified as subfamily Pandioninae of the previous family)
Sagittariidae: the Secretary Bird
Falconidae: falcons and caracaras
Cathartidae: New World vultures including condors.
The nocturnal birds of prey – the owls – are classified separately as members of two extant families of the order Strigiformes:
Strigidae: (typical owls)
Tytonidae: (barn and bay owls).
