About These Birds

Aigle royal

The golden eagle is one of the most powerful and agile raptors in the Northern Hemisphere. Revered by many cultures, it has been used in falconry for centuries, particularly by Kazakh eagle hunters of Central Asia. Golden eagles can dive at speeds exceeding 240 km/h when pursuing prey.

Milan des chauves-souris

The Bat Hawk is a medium-sized raptor found across sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Southeast Asia, inhabiting forest edges and open woodland near water. It is specially adapted for crepuscular hunting, with large eyes and a remarkably wide gape that allows it to swallow bats and swifts whole in flight. Its dark brown plumage and swift, agile flight make it well-suited to hunting in dim light at dusk and dawn.
