This bird is a kestrel, know it sounds gross about the urine but that's how they get fed
Cardinals, like most birds, flap their wings to get off the ground.
Possibly. Sounds more like a bird of prey. Owls are notorious for eating the heads of their prey first. If if happened during the daylight hours it may be some other type of raptor.
The eagle is the bird of prey as it will feed on small rodents and sometimes maybe a smaller bird, but the sparrow, canary and flamingo will feed off of berries etc and insects.
Although they do feed on meat (ive seen once dive and catch a snake!) they do not however have the characteristics associated with birds of prey birds of prey catch prey with their Talons (claws) and tear off flesh with their hooked beaks. that is how you know whether or not a BIRD is a bird of prey or not.
If you mean when a bird of prey flies off of the glove of a handler, you mean bating not baiting. As to how it got that name, who knows! Makes a little more sense though if you know the spelling difference.
a bird sharply pulls down its wings as it did when it pushed off the ground
well........ if you look at a shapes of a bird wings it is a bit the same and tht will give you the answer
The common Whip-Poor-Will's diet usually consists of flying insects hope this helps
The bird and the Earth are both moving together as part of the Earth's rotation. The atmosphere also moves with the Earth, so there is no relative movement between the bird and the ground when the bird lets go of the branch.
fence post,or on a tree,about 4 or 5 feet off the ground.
The TWA Building by Eero Saarinen at the JFK Airport in New York looks like a bird with spread wings just about to lift off the ground.
Chickens eat bugs on the ground if they are free range. Many chickens are living off of a grain as chicken feed.
