Accipitriformes

The Order Accipitriformes comprises a group of diurnal birds of prey, including hawks, eagles, kites, and Old World vultures, which possess exceptional visual acuity, powerful talons, and hooked beaks specialized for tearing flesh. These birds dominate their respective food chains and are distributed across all continents except Antarctica. However, their survival is threatened by various factors such as habitat destruction, hunting, and poisoning, calling for urgent conservation measures to protect these iconic species.
