Of the falconiformes or accipitriformes is an order of Oiseau X which is characterized by their short hooked nozzle and their powerful legs and griffues called greenhouses. It is generally of excellent diurnal hunters to the piercing sight. Some as the vulture S nourish carrions. They nest on the trees or the rocks and cliffs. Large the S in general raise only one to two chicks per annum. The young people are nidicoles.

The order includes/understands 5 S:

• Cathartidés : the Vulture S of the New World: Urubu S, Sarcoramphe, condor S (7 species)
• Pandionidés: Osprey (1 species)
• Accipitridés: baza S, Bondrée S, swallow hawk S, Sea eagle S, Cabbage tree, gypaète, vultures, Circaète S, Juggler, serpent eater, Harrier S, Gymnogène S, tube S, Around S, sparrowhawk S, Busautour S, harpie S, eagle S (237 species)
• Sagittariidés: messenger (1 species)
• Falconidés: Caracara S, macagua, Carnifex, Fauconnet S, Falcon S, kestrel S (61 species)

Systematic position

The classification of Sibley-Ahlquist based on the Hybridation of the DNA brings closer the falconiformes and other orders in a largely wide order of the ciconiiformes. This approach does not achieve yet the unanimity in the ornithologists, but all accept the bringing together of the cathartidés and the ciconiidés .

Falconiformes and Accipitriformes

In a current but biologically inaccurate classification, the diurnal birds of prey are divided into two order, the falconiformes and the accipitriformes. The first order includes then the Faucon S, Caracara S and similar birds, is approximately 60 species; while the second gathers the other diurnal birds of prey (Aigle S, Vautour S, and Al), i.e. approximately 220 species.
