Avian predators are birds that hunt and feed on other animals. The two most common avian predators are the ERNE (4 letters) and the SHRIKE (6 letters). The ERNE is a large seabird of the family Pandionidae, which includes ospreys and hawks. It is found in Europe, Asia, and North America. The SHRIKE is a small passerine bird of the family Laniidae, which includes crows and magpies. It is found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. Both the ERNE and the SHRIKE are known for their sharp talons and beaks, which they use to catch and kill their prey.
