      My favourite animal is the secretary bird!

      It is a bird-of-prey like falcons and eagles, but instead of hunting its prey from the sky, secretary birds run around on the ground looking for snakes and small lizards. When they find their dinner, they stamp on it rapidly with their long and super-powerful legs. They’ve been described as “ninja birds on stilts”!

      They also have beautiful plumage with a lovely red face and fancy crest feathers on top of their head!

      I was at a falconry centre today and got to see them in real life 🙂
