A '''[[bird]] of prey''' is one which feed on small animals such as [[rodents]], other birds or [[fish]]. Unlike most other birds, their eyes are towards the front of their head, allowing them to focus on prey over a great distance. They usually fly very high to view a wide area, before diving down to attack when they see a small creature moving.
Examples of birds of prey include [[hawk]]s, [[eagles]], [[owl]]s, [[buzzard]]s, [[kestrel]]s, [[falcon]]s and [[merlin]]s. Some birds of prey can be trained to be used in the sport of [[falconry]], which is a form of hunting which was especially popular among the [[aristocracy]] in [[Europe]] during the [[middle ages]].
