The king of all birds, his highness the....
GOLDEN EAGLE
If the Golden Eagle is the Lion of birds, than these guys are the
wolves:
Harris Hawks are so bad ass they have their own unique genus (suck it biatch). This ain't no regular Buteo, they are the only
Parabuteo.
What makes this bird so bad ass remarkable is that they
hunt in packs. Yes, a group of these bad ass predators is called a
pack, not a fucking flock-- these ain't geese. Via research of overhead footage of their attacks, it's been deduced that they use many of the same organized attack patterns as wolves to stalk, corner, and bring down prey. Very sick. Like dogs, the social nature of the bird also makes it keen to bond with humans and enjoy the hunting partnership, making them ideal falconry birds.
Only difference is that while wolves have an orderly hierarchy and feeding order, when this pack makes a kill, it's a freakin' free-for-all gorgefest. Apparently these birds don't believe in a proper pecking order!
