Anything and everything about non-human animals.

Rules:

  1. Posts should be relevant to non-human animals, including articles (news or just interesting facts), pictures (OC only but the animals need not be your pets), or text posts.
  2. Keep things civil. Don't insult other users or their pets. Do not post content that promotes animal abuse (this does not include content, like news, that portrays abuse in a negative light).
  3. Follow site-wide rules

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.
