How often do American swallow tailed kites hunt?
The Swallow-tailed Kite captures and eats much of its prey on the wing by plucking it from vegetation or snatching it from the air. The diet shifts to the most available food sources and includes many insects, snakes, the chicks of other bird species, and frogs. Fairly unique among raptors, this kite also eats fruit in winter - from the rubber tree and the macurije tree (Matayba oppositifolia). Its thick, spongy stomach lining appears well adapted to absorb the stings of wasps, bees, and fire ants. Other insects in its diet are grasshoppers, leaf-footed bugs, and palmetto weevils. Many larvae are consumed, and the Swallow-tailed Kite will bring an entire wasp's nest to its own nest. Adults rarely eat on a perch, and this kite often feeds in loose groups.
Does the Swallow Tailed Kite have any predators?
The Swallow-tailed Kite's main predators are larger birds of prey such as eagles, hawks, and owls. Nestlings are especially vulnerable to predation due to their small size and inability to fend off attackers. Adults have fewer predators but can still be targeted by large raptors.
