I find falcons fascinating, especially these African fluffy guys. They are the perfect combination of speed, astuteness, and beauty.

Interesting facts about the pygmy falcon:

It lives in Eastern and Southern Africa.
It’s the smallest bird of prey on the continent (only 19 to 20 cm long).
Its diet is based on large insects, small reptiles, rodents, and also birds. (Hunting birds hunting birds)
Its plumage color is beautiful. Males have a solid grey back, while females have a chestnut brown patch between their wings. Both have white spots on their backs and tail.
It’s a “nest pirate”, which means it occupies the nesting structures of other species to lay its eggs. It has that level of coolness (and laziness).
This mighty killer is cute. Because of their small size, even adults look like babies.

Cute + Tiny + Killer = Deadly combo.
