Their feeding habits are diverse, with many species specializing in catching insects in various ways, such as on the wing, by probing bark, or by gleaning from vegetation. Some birds of prey have adapted talons and bills for hunting larger animals, while others, like vultures, are scavengers. Many birds also consume plant material, including seeds, fruits, and nectar.2
