What cute little raptors! I was wondering if they’d eat mostly insects, but the wiki says they eat little reptiles, birds, and rodents, or whatever else they can take down.
Diet wise, it sounds similar. This guy, being a raptor will kill with the feet, while the shrike’s feet aren’t built for that.
If you go back a few posts, I shared a shrike catching a coral snake that was pretty impressive. He won a standoff with a kestrel for who would get to eat it.
“Gimme five falcons for a quarter, you’d say.”

So similar to something like a loggerhead shrike, neat.
