Striated Caracara are one of the most interesting and

charismatic species of birds of prey in the world. They are also consideredsome of the smartest birds of prey, often being thought of more like a raven orcrow than as a falcon. Striated Caracaras have historically been dubbed ‘flyingmonkeys’ and ‘flying devils’ thanks to their inquisitive and somewhat heavyhanded (or should that be taloned?) approach to life. Join Tom as he chats toKatie Harrington, a research biologist who has worked hard to understand themovements and behaviour of populations of Striated Caracaras on the Falklands –even inventing puzzles for them to solve! We also challenge Sirius, one of theresident Striated Caracaras at the Trust, to solve a puzzle he’s never seenbefore.
