over the whole world distributed lives, in over 90 types and 29 types apportioned, that among each other quite different representatives of the Bussardartigen. Typical representatives of this most extensive subfamily of the gripping-birds are eagles (Aquila) and buzzards (Buteo). Long, spreads and is characteristic for these middle at the ends of rounded off wings, not very long tails and relatively short and powerful catches - until very big griffins.
Not as nimbly and fast as hawks and falcons, they adapted themselves to the most different habitats in its body-form and its behavior. The big harpy hunts the bigger mammals of the jungle like the monkey-eagle. Eagles and buzzards carry off preferred the birds and mammals of the steppes, deserts, mountains and forests beside insects, fishings, amphibians and reptiles; they don't spurn also carrion. The magnificent ones, usually white put down sea-eagles (Haliaeëtus) specialized on the fish and waterfowls of the riversides and Meeresküsten.
With all types, the female becomes somewhat bigger than the male, however the difference is smaller than with the hawks. Usually the brood-pairs above several years hold together and cover the same precincts and eyries again and again, that often assume huge proportions in the course of the years.
Other types Also many names this not to the types of the actual buzzards (Buteo) and eagles (Aquila) of reckoned Bussardartigen carries the names "eagles" or "buzzard." So, the Aguya (Geranoaëtus melanoleucus) is called also blue-eagles and blue-buzzard from time to time. In South America's Andes, it doesn't take over the role of this native eagles and sea-eagles there.
However, several types of the Bussardartigen, under which one finds pronounced food-specialists, lodge means and South America. So, black-neck-buzzards (Busarellus) and black-buzzards (Buteogallus) live mainly on crabs, fishings and amphibians, for itself during white-buzzards (Leucopternis) at the forest-life, that desert-buzzard (Parabuteo unicinctus) adjusted at open dry-surfaces. Further buzzard-types populate the different habitats of the old world, however they essentially don't deviate from the until now mentioned types in its way of life.
Further "eagles" The types with more severe measurements usually carry "eagle" the name. it belong old to it as inhabitants - and neuweltlichen forests of the Würgadler (Morphnus guianensis), several types of bonnet-eagles, u. a. the tyrant-eagle, Spizaëtus tyrannus, the mop of hair-eagle, Lophoaëtus occipitalis, the crown-eagle, Stephanoaëtus coronatus, and the black-shoulder-eagle, Cassinaëtus africanus, as well like as inhabitants of the steppes of the fight-eagles (Polemaëtus bellicosus) and the hawk-eagles (type Hiëraaëtus). These big types of Africa, Southern Europe and Asia beat bigger mammals, birds and reptiles without effort.
In the size, the dwarf-eagle (Hiëraaëtus pennatus) resembles the buzzard and partially also occurs in the same area.
However, it is an extremely skillful and active plane; under loud and manifold reputations, it often executes half-hour, spectacular flight-games, that are part of its Balzverhaltens.
Also the other Bussardartigen execute Balzflüge over its precinct, with (monkey-eagles) what they call gladly loudly.
