Red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) perched on a bush. This bird is a predatory songbird that has a hooked beak to feed on meat,but lacks the talons of a bird-of-prey. Shrikes share a similarity with butcherbirds (Cracticus sp.) where they impale their prey on plant thorns,or wedge it in the fork of a tree,to support it and store it for later consumption. Prey ranges from insects to worms and small birds,voles,or lizards | |
