Birds of prey is the term used to describe the hawk, falcon and owl families. They are also known as raptors.. All of these birds are faunivores-their diet consists of animals. The hawk and falcon families are diurnal, that is, they are most active during broad daylight. The owl families are mainly nocturnal, meaning that they are more active at night.
Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes about 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica and some remote islands. Owls are divided into two families: the Strigidae family of true (or typical) owls; and the Tytonidae family of barn-owls.
