Harriers are a type of raptor in the family Falconidae. They are usually small birds of prey with long and slender legs. Harriers are widely distributed around the world and have many different subspecies and variants.
Harriers are relatively small, sturdy and fast-flying. They have sharp claws and curved beaks, which are adapted to preying on small birds, mammals, reptiles and insects.
Because harriers have narrow and round wings, they usually glide and hover at low altitudes to better observe and locate prey, and then quickly dive to grab prey. Harriers can also draw beautiful and graceful arcs in the air, which is very suitable for performances and training.
The harrier eagle is considered to be a very good predator, so it was regarded as a symbol of sacredness and auspiciousness in ancient times. It is now one of the national birds of some countries and regions.
