Pictures of Birds - Secretarybird - Sagittarius serpentarius |
 |
| The Secretarybird has loose black feathers behind its head which probably gave it its name as quills were used before pens. The secretarybird walks through savanna grassland looking for insects, lizards, rodents and snakes. When the secretarybird finds prey it stamps on it with its powerful feet and then grabs the prey in its beak. The secretarybird roosts in the tops of trees. |
