Feeding of Pacific Baza

["Philip Veerman" <>]

Hi Shirley, & Stephen and others whose messages were a little less serious.

Stephen's comments are along the lines that I would have thought. I was not 
actually asking about should we do that sort of thing. It was not me who put 
out bits of sausage for them. I was just asking does anyone have any relevant 
experience on having done that, to pass on to my brother, without any 
particular expectation either way. I agree with the comment about "I'm not sure 
why a Baza would be expected to take bits of sausage or recognise it as food". 
However I wonder at the implied thought ("The Baza would be among the raptors 
least likely to notice or take") that they would be less expected to take such 
offerings than other raptors. I would think most raptors would be similar in 
that respect, apart from those, such as Black & Whistling Kites, that are 
typically scavengers.

Maybe if the sausage was green.......
