"Gimme five falcons for a quarter, you'd say."
What cute little raptors! I was wondering if they'd eat mostly insects, but the wiki says they eat little reptiles, birds, and rodents, or whatever else they can take down.
So similar to something like a loggerhead shrike, neat.
Diet wise, it sounds similar. This guy, being a raptor will kill with the feet, while the shrike's feet aren't built for that.
If you go back a few posts, I shared a shrike catching a coral snake that was pretty impressive. He won a standoff with a kestrel for who would get to eat it.
