The Black Kite, Milvus migrans is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae.These are adapted to live in cities and densely populated areas.They are good gliders and will swoop down with their legs lowered to snatch small live prey. They also feed on household refuse and carrion. Seen in the video is a Black Kite tearing and eating its food when the crows attack it. The crows attack/bully it from either side. The Kite defends with wide opened mouth (snarl) and is forced to leave hold of the food to retaliate. It shakes and puffs up its body and head (show of size) but the crows attacking/teasing from either side has the advantage and take away the whole food. It is interesting to see how the crow challenge the Kite sitting so close to it and looking face to face!. Video taken at Pune.
