Secretary Birds were common in both the Serengeti and Maasai Mara. They typically were seen in pairs or atop an Acacia Tree, where they nest. I think it would be interesting to follow one of these birds for an entire day to see what they consume. I’ve watched them consume many insects, an occasionally a reptile and I assume they eat small mammals as well. As shown here, birds are also part of their diet. I saw this one rushing toward something and we managed to get there before the little bird was swallowed whole. These are large birds and I’m not sure if they have any avian predators but doubt it.
