Hawk Single Line Bird Of Prey Kite

Product Information

These birds eat anything from mice, rats, and squirrels, to lizards, snakes, and frogs. Some species specialize in very specific prey species, like the snail Kite, while others eat just about anything they can catch. Kite and Human Interaction Kite behavior varies by species, though most birds of prey are solitary or live in mated pairs. The vast majority of these birds are diurnal, and most active during the day, or near dawn or dusk. They spend much of their time resting or searching for prey. There is a lesser-known but perhaps more fascinating buzzard in the UK besides the Common buzzard - the Honey buzzard. The Honey buzzard is peculiar amongst all raptors as it’s a specialist feeder that consumes the grubs and larvae of bees and wasps. It does also hunt small animal and birds. Kites are primarily carnivorous, and feed on a wide variety of prey. Each species hunts different prey, and birds in separate regions sometimes have entirely different diet compositions. They are fairly similar in size and appearance to common buzzards, however, when spotted in flight, you can often notice that, unlike common buzzards, they'll 'hang' in the sky more, almost in a hovering fashion.
