	Boeing: Boeing Unveils Bird of Prey Stealth Technology Demonstrator
		Developed by the Boeing Phantom Works advanced research-and-development organization, the Bird of Prey was among the first to initiate the use of large, single-piece composite structures; low-cost, disposable tooling; and 3-D virtual reality design and assembly processes to ensure the aircraft was affordable to build as well as high-performing.
		Bird of Prey has a wingspan of approximately 23 feet and a length of 47 feet, and weighs nearly 7,400 pounds.
		"The success of the Bird of Prey is a testament to the shared commitment of Boeing and the Air Force to pioneering innovative methods to drive down costs and improve performance," said George Muellner, senior vice president of Air Force Systems for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems.

	Romulan Bird-of-Prey (23rd century) - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		Gaining its name from the bold pattern of an alien bird's feathers painted on the ship's ventral hull, the Romulan bird-of-prey was the successor of a 22nd century counterpart of similar design.
		Grey in color, with its namesake bird design painted on the hull, the bird-of-prey was essentially saucer with parallel warp nacelles mounted port and starboard of the main body.
		New CGI visual effects were created for the Bird of Prey for the 40th anniversary of the original series.

	The SA NAtional Bird Of Prey Centre Rehabilitation Program
		Birds of Prey have the status of being predators and the only way they can survive out there is by being 100 % fit and healthy.
		Many birds of prey are threatened because their mortality rates have gone into the unnatural figures due to man's life style.
		Older birds that have hunted for themselves prior to arriving at the centre have to be flown and hunted prior to release to make sure their fit and healthy.

	Boeing Bird of Prey
		Bird of Prey was designed by the Phantom Works back when McDonnell Douglas was a separate entity from Boeing.
		Designing Bird of Prey was irrelevant to the company's A/F-X efforts (cancelled in 1994) and wasn't enough to win a spot for McDonnell Douglas when the JSF competition was narrowed to Lockheed and Boeing in 1996.
		The "Bird of Prey" name was suggested as a classified aircraft in November of 2000 by Steve Douglas, a writer for "Popular Science." Based on a mysterious "Bird of Prey" patch, Douglas concluded that "Bird of Prey" was a variable-geometry aircraft with forward-sweeping wings.

	NATURE. Shadow Over the Sun: A Story of Eagles. Birds of Prey \| PBS
		Birds of prey, also known as raptors -- from the Latin word "rapture," to seize or grasp -- may be as large as the Andean condor, which has a ten-foot wingspan, or as small as the tiny fl-thighed falconet, which is less than seven inches tall.
		Raptors are set apart from other birds -- such as ravens and magpies -- that hunt, eat meat, and have strong, sharp beaks but aren't considered birds of prey because they don't kill with their feet.
		Falconiformes are day-flying birds from five families: Accipitrae (which includes eagles, hawks, buzzards, harriers, kites, and Old World vultures), Falconidae (which includes falcons and caracaras), Cathaartidae (which consists of the New World vultures), Sagittariidae (which includes the secretary bird), and Pandionidae (which is another one-species family composed of the osprey).

	Common Buzzard, Buteo buteo
		In flight the wings have a ragged, moth-like appearance as this bird glides to and fro at a tremendous height.
		It is a patient bird, quite content to sit for hours at a time until a young rabbit, a rat or a mouse chances to pass beneath it.
		All too often the distressed shepherd does not realise that this is the case and unjustly (and illegally!) persecutes this bird of prey.

	Halfbakery: Bird-of-Prey Feeder
		Simply attach the foot of the bird of prey to an eyehook in the center of the platform with a string/rope.
		Firstly birds of prey are so called for a reason and hand feeding them would be pointless, useless and lead to their eventual domestication (or if not something similar)
		What would be really cool is to see a bird of prey catch a flying squirrel in mid-flight, and then kind of surf to the ground on its back and then, well, kill it.

	Ex Astris Scientia - The Bird-of-Prey Size Paradox
		It should be annotated that in the case of the aft hatch as well as of the bridge full-scale mock-ups were involved that had to be built large enough to be recognizable but small enough for technical and financial considerations.
		The BoP is called "B'rel" for the first and only time, and it is obvious that the Ferengi could rather have got hold of small and obsolete Klingon ships than of the supposedly larger and more powerful ships that are shown elsewhere in TNG, namely the supposed K'Vort class.
		The BoPs in "The Defector", on the other hand, is scaled up absurdly to at least four times the length (and 64 times the volume!) of the original design.

	First Look: Bird of Prey - Popular Science
		This morning, October 18, 2002, the Air Force and Boeing unveiled to a small group of selected journalists the Bird of Prey, a previously "fl" or ultra-secret airplane prototype that was built and tested in the mid-1990s.
		Senior officials at the October 18 unveiling of the radical prototype—named after the Klingon spacecraft in Star Trek, which shares its aft-set, cranked wings—acknowledged that the Bird of Prey was designed to be stealthy enough to survive in broad daylight.
		The Bird's innovative features are sure to inform the design of next-generation stealth aircraft, but the plane itself, having served its purpose, is being retired—which is why Boeing and the Air Force were willing to make it public today.

	John Sims' Falconry Page
		Since this bird of prey can readily adjust to human environments, they are often found nesting or hunting within highly civilized areas.
		However, the Red-tailed Hawk is one of the great hunting birds of all time, and many very experienced falconers continue to fly them regardless of their falconry status as a "first" bird.
		If the bird is caught in the wild, hunting can soon begin as the bird already knows how to hunt, but if the hawk is captive bred or taken as a nestling it is not quite as easy.

	Now you see it, now you won't: Boeing lifts the veil on stealthy Bird of Prey - Jane's Defence Business News (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Boeing's Bird of Prey technology demonstrator, unveiled in St Louis on 18 October after spending a decade in the world of 'fl' or classified programs, is a very important step in stealth technology, combining a very low radar cross-section (RCS) with a renewed focus on visual and even acoustic signatures.
		Boeing pilot Joe Felock made it clear that the Bird of Prey – named after a Klingon spacecraft from Star Trek – was a low-performance demonstrator, designed to put a representative shape into the air with minimum time and expense.
		An unusual feature of the Bird of Prey was that it was designed with an all-manual control system, with pushrods and a mechanical mixer box linking the stick and rudder pedals to four control surfaces – elevons on the inner wings and 'rudderons' on the outer wing panels.
