Will Ospreys eat kingfishers?
The great majority of birds of prey are opportunists - if they can easily catch something edible, even if it is not usual prey, and particularly if they are very hungry, they very often will. No doubt some kingfishers will have been eaten by owls, somewhere, at some time.
How do kingfishers catch their prey?
Kingfishers are capable of grabbing prey with their feet but they rarely do (they have relatively small feet). For hunting, a kingfisher will sit on a perch waiting for some prey item to happen by (fish, insects, crustaceans, even small mammals) it will then swoop down and grab it with its bill. They then will usually take the item to a safe place and beat it senseless against a rock or tree, followed by disassembling and eating it. Despite the impressive bill on some species, kingfishers rarely "spear" prey with it. Some species will scour the mud for small critters to eat using their bill and feet. Kingfishers are very widespread and some species are more specialized then others it terms of how and what they eat.
