Falcons are birds of prey known for their speed and agility in flight. They belong to the Falconidae family and are found all over the world, with some species being migratory. Falcons have a hooked beak, sharp talons, and strong wings, which make them excellent hunters. They are carnivorous and primarily feed on other birds, small mammals, and insects. Falcons are also known for their distinctive feather pattern, with dark brown or black wings and back and a lighter colored breast.
