    Also known as the sectreterror bird. If you haven't already, you should read into its hunting behavior. One notable example is it waiting at the edge of a fire for easy prey. Posted 9 years ago

The Secretary Bird

The Secretarybird or Secretary Bird is a large, mostly terrestrial bird of prey. Endemic to Africa, it is usually found in the open grasslands and savannah of the sub-Sahara. Although a member of the order Accipitriformes, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards, vultures, and harriers, it is given its own family, Sagittariidae.
