Incredible Collared Falconet | Smallest Birds of Prey.

Incredible Collared Falconet | Smallest Birds of Prey. The genus Microhierax includes the smallest of all birds of prey. The Collared Falconet can measure 15-18 centimeters in total length. It feeds mainly on large insects often caught in the air in shrike-like attack flight. However, in spite of its small size, it also takes some lizards and small mammals. It roosts and nests in cavities, usually abandoned by other bird species. Cooperative breeding is reported for the subspecies “burmanicus”, but usually, the Collared Falconet is often seen alone or in pairs, and in small groups too, perched on dead branches for long periods. The adult has glossy black upperparts with some white markings on innermost secondaries and tail quills. On the underparts, throat, lower belly and thighs are rufous, whereas breast and upper belly are variable, from whitish to chestnut. The underwing-coverts are white. Flight feathers and rectrices are barred black and white. The female is slightly larger than male. She has more white on the wings, and less prominent nuchal collar. The juvenile has rufous forehead and eyebrow, and white throat (some adult females may share these features). The Collared Falconet frequents deciduous forest, edges and clearings in broadleaved evergreen and mixed forests, old cultivations with dead trees and natural open areas. It can be seen near rivers and streams, and it occurs from sea-level up to 1800-2300 meters of elevation according to the range. Conservation Status: This kind of bird is very rare and it is in the red list from the Wildlife Conservation Project. We would like to appeal all people who love bird, please don't buy the nests and we try our best to protect this kind of species for our next generation.
