Bay-backed Shrike Impaling It's Prey | Pallam, Amalapuram | #Butcherbird | #4K When a shrike catches and eats its prey alive, the behavior is typically described as "impaling" or "butchering." Shrikes are known for impaling their prey, such as insects, small birds, or lizards, on sharp thorns, barbed wire, or pointed branches. This helps them immobilize their prey and tear it apart more easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-qg3mQZ_30
