Reporting Date: 07.01.2012
The secretary bird is considered a bird of prey, but unlike the others, it spends most of its time on the ground. In the Serengeti grasslands, game-drives are incomplete without the sighting of these birds. Their main prey are rodents, snakes and insects. They are very efficient hunters which use their feet as a major tool to kill their prey.
