Below is a comment from Stephen Debus on the subject: This one's one of those whimsical myths. Falcons either grasp the prey with their feet and bite the neck with their bill (hence the decapitation), or strike the prey a hard raking blow with open feet then retrieve it (in the feet) and bite the neck with the bill. Cheers, Steve |
