The term 'baby bird of prey' can refer to two different species of birds: an eaglet and an owlet. An eaglet is a young eagle, which is a large bird of prey with a hooked beak and powerful talons. An owlet is a young owl, which is a smaller bird of prey with a rounded head and large eyes. Both eaglets and owlets are dependent on their parents for food and protection until they are old enough to hunt and care for themselves.
