    This is a bird called the Sereima, and what you are seeing isn’t random behavior: it’s how they hunt. They chase rodents and lizards down, grab them with their beaks, then slam their prey down onto rocks repeatedly until they stop moving.

    Metal as hell.

      Didnt think about animals getting slamed on the ground. Smaller birds do this with fruita/nuts to break them
