I like the majestic from most angles and goofy from others aspect. Also the agility of flight for size, the ability of it to lift. It flies around trees hunting monkeys up to its own weight confortably.

lol that's some funny shit! I've seen only one before, but I think their antics and coloration at least beat most other songbirds.

It's a capercaillie. Male capercaillies are famous for being really fucking angry and attacking pretty much anything during their breeding season. There are a bunch of videos and stories of them attacking people and cars.

Agree.

Yup.

Great birds.

Unlike most other raptors, falcons usually kill their prey before they start digging in and eating them, and they've actually developed a special notch on their beaks designed to help them break the necks of their prey. Most hawks and eagles don't bother, however, and just start ripping flesh as soon as they have prey subdued in their talons, eating their prey while it's still alive, like major assholes.

>>2463308
By the time the prey's subdued it's usually dead, at least for eagles. Those fuckers hit like a ton of bricks and generally break the neck / spine with their talons on impact.

>>2460619
Harpies are based, the zoo I work at has one. Apparently an opossum got into the exhibit one time, at which point the harpy slaughtered it and presented it to her keepers as a gift. Adorable.
