Here’s one “birb” you don’t want to mess with: the Great Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor)! When on the hunt, this carnivorous bird scans the area from its perch seeking out anything from a small mammal to a bird. After locking in on a target, which can be nearly as large as the bird itself, it swoops down and hits its meal with its hooked bill. This species has even been observed impaling prey on sharp objects—thorns or barbed wire—and sometimes “storing” it there for later consumption. It has a wide range which spans parts of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa.
