The Black-breasted Buzard, a unique species, is known for its remarkable use of stones to crack open the eggs of other birds as a food source—an impressive example of tool use among birds. This large bird of prey, with its dark plumage, square-tipped tail, and distinctive white "bull's eye" markings under its long, fingered wings, is a sight to behold. Found primarily in Australia's arid and semi-arid regions, the buzzard often soars high while hunting for rabbits, birds, lizards, and carrion. This iconic species, while fascinating, faces threats from habitat loss and vehicle collisions, underscoring the urgent need for conservation efforts.
