Secretary Bird Power Animal

www.poweranimals.infoThe large secretary bird lives in the open grasslands of Africa. They stand over four feet tall with long legs, black and white plumage, and a crest of feathers on the back of their head. The perceptive secretary bird prefers a hunting technique that involves stomping. With swift and precise movements, they deliver powerful blows with their feet, stunning or even killing their prey. Their powerful beak and sharp talons then make quick work of their victims. The agile secretary bird is sometimes called a “snake-eater”. Their diet also consists of rodents, lizards, rabbits, and insects.

Secretary birds live in monogamous pairs or small family groups. They have an amazing courtship ritual, involving elaborate displays of wing-spreading and synchronized stomping. Once a breeding pair forms, they cooperate in building a high tree nest high where both parent share the responsibility of incubating the eggs and raising their offspring. For the first few weeks, one parent is always on the nest, feeding and caring for the chicks. They teach their offspring how to hunt, kick, and fly until they fledge after 12 weeks.
