The 4-Feet-Tall Birds Named Secretary Birds Are So Beautiful And Gorgeous

Snakes are a favorite meal, and in fact, the bird's scientific name, Sagittarius serpentarius, means the archer of snakes. If a snake tries striking a secretary bird, it usually ends up with a mouthful of feathers from the bird's almost seven-foot wingspan, which it uses as a distraction. The scales on their lower legs provide additional protection from snakebites.
