Did you know that the cry of large birds of prey is called glides ? "This precise term designates the shrill and often brief cry of large diurnal birds of prey.

In the golden eagle, for example, the cry is not used for hunting, which is done in total silence to surprise the prey, but rather for communication between the partners of the pair or for the defense of the nesting area.It is a high frequency signal that carries far in mountainous or open environments.

Besides the eagle, the buzzard is also known to cackle, producing a sound that is sometimes compared to a very high-pitched meow.

The precision of this term underlines the richness of the French ornithological vocabulary, which carefully distinguishes raptors from farmyard birds or passerines. Gliding evokes the power and vigilance of these masters of the sky, symbols of majesty since Antiquity.
