Power. Ferocity. Majesty and mystery. Human beings have invested birds of prey with these qualities for thousands of years. We've featured them in our stories, used their images on our currency and national flags, and associated their names with everything from basketball teams to fighter planes. Their abilities to do the amazing continue to inspire our thoughts and excite our imaginations. But which ideas about these birds are facts and which are fictions? This multimedia program uses live birds to explore what makes a "bird of prey," the role they play in the environment, and how humans affect their ability to survive.
