Secretary Bird


	Secretary Bird The secretary bird was supposedly named because it resembles an old-fashioned secretary carrying quill-pens tucked behind her ears. Although it can fly, it prefers to move around on foot and can cover 30 km a day, earning it the title ‘Africa’s marching eagle’. It is a large bird of prey and feeds mainly on large insects and small mammals, which it often stamps on before swallowing whole. Kathy Salerni

I loved reading the history of this awesome looking bird, Kathy. It also looks like a Native Indian Head Dressing to me. All ready to do a special ceremonial dance!! Crystal clear image sure to woo the judges! :D
