Many birds are not classified as 'Birds of Prey' or 'Raptors' as some people refer to them as.

The definition of a Raptor is a bird that uses its feet to kill prey.

There are many types of Birds of Prey such as Buzzards, Eagles, Hawks, Falcons, Secretary Birds, Ospreys, and Owls.

There are probably more types of Raptors.

Frogmouths and Night-Jars are not proper Raptors, nor are Kookaburras which are often sighted eating mice.

Vultures are an exception as they do hunt occasionally.

Any bird that does not fit he definition of a Bird of Prey is not a Raptor.
