The Brahminy Kite is found in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia, where they are also called the Red-backed Sea Eagle. Their preferred habitat is around water, from coasts to lakes, where they feed on fish and other aquatic animals. Some populations will also inhabit open grasslands, forests and even rubbish dumps, where they eat insects, small mammals and even carrion.
Found widely through a range of African habitats the Harrier-Hawk has unusual double-jointed legs. This allows it easier access into nests and crevices to discover hidden food items. We have recently introduced a young male to our female and are hoping for success.
An increasingly familiar sight in the UK after recovery and reintroduction after a long history of man-made decline. This large fork-tailed bird drifts over woodland and open countryside looking for small animals to hunt and carrion to scavenge.
These buoyant, close relations to the Black Kite can be found through most of Africa. In our displays they demonstrate a range of hunting techniques and their effortless ability to soar and glide in search of opportunities.
This adaptable hunter and scavenger is one of the most numerous of all birds of prey. Being found in a wide range of habitats from Western Europe to Australia especially in close connection with man. Large urban populations can be seen in many Asian countries.
