Hi Folks
Have a look at this series of photos of a Kookaburra eating a Snake.
They are published on the Birds in Backyards forum - from the Museum of
Australia (Sydney)
They were taken by a bird watcher in WA - they are not my photos.
Consider this:
- First it had to catch and kill the snake.
- Once it had done that it had to re-arrange it, so as to get it head
first, in its beak.
- Then it has to start swallowing it (whole).
- You will note in the early photos that the snake is considerably longer
than the Kookaburra.
- Does it have to wait to partially digest the Snake, before it can finish
its mean? I don't know.
Cheers
