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

We might be having a bad day, but if a pretty bird comes into view, suddenly we all feel a little lighter. According to bird watchers and scientists, there are about 9,000 to 10,000 species of birds.

Hunting and diet: Secretary birds and caracaras are the only two birds of prey that hunt on the ground instead of from the air. Secretary birds' diets consist of small rodents, amphibians, and reptiles. Working in small groups or with a partner, secretary birds hunt from just after dawn through to the evening, resting only during the peak heat of the afternoon. They sometimes capture prey by striking at it with their short, hooked beaks, but more famously, secretary birds use their large feet and sharp claws to stomp it to death.
