The daintiest lady in the bird world and can be numbered among the deadliest as well - The Secretary Bird. Found in Africa, it is only bird of prey that prefer walking than flying.
Having the the longest legs amongst raptors, the Secretarybird has an odd way to pick its meal or drink – bending its legs in a squatting position.
Secretarybirds pair for life.They do their courting and mating activities on the ground. Nests are built high up on Acacia trees, where females lay two oval, light green eggs that are incubated for 42 – 46 days. In captivity, Secretarybirds can live up to 20 years.
