Secretary birds stomp on snakes with strong, fast kicks to catch and kill them.

Unlike most birds of prey, they hunt by walking through grass instead of flying.

Secretary birds have long feathers on the back of their heads that look like fancy quill pens.

Secretary birds build large nests high in trees, adding new sticks every year to keep them strong.

Both the mother and father secretary bird help raise their chicks.

They hunt mostly during the day, searching for insects, snakes, and small animals.

Even though they mostly hunt on foot, secretary birds have huge wings that help them soar high when traveling long distances.

Their strong, hooked beaks are perfect for tearing apart their food once they catch it.
