MORE THAN FLIGHTS 

While many birds eat seeds and fruits, a few evolved as dangerous predators. Some birds are nature's wrath, which are capable of inflicting real harm.

Here are some flesh eating birds: 

Magpies exhibit aggressive swooping behavior during breeding season, injuring thousands annually, as they protect nests, leading cities to seek safety solutions.

The Harpy Eagle, known for its powerful build and impressive talons, is a skilled predator but faces threats from human activities.

New Guinea's pitohui is the only toxic bird, possessing batrachotoxin from dietary beetles. Identified by locals, its bright plumage warns of danger, making it both fascinating and deadly.

The African crowned eagle, a rare predator, can attack children and monkeys, using lethal claws. It mostly targets small mammals like mongooses and rats.

The cassowary, native to Australia and New Guinea, is dangerous due to its strong legs and lethal kicks. 

The common emu, a stout-bodied bird, can run nearly 50 km/h and kick fiercely. While attacks causing injuries are reported, human fatalities from emus are extremely rare.

Lammergeiers, or bearded vultures, are large birds that inhabit mountainous regions, primarily feeding on bones, which they crack by dropping from heights.
