  some shrikes are also known as butcherbirds because of the habit, particularly of males, of impaling prey onto plant spines within their territories. These larders have multiple functions, attracting females and serving as food stores.

    The god in Hyperion is named after that bird. Great scifi classic.

  Thanks to its strong beak, it can tear even the strongest 3-ply toilet paper to shreds if it has been moistened beforehand.

    Oh damn! I thought they only did it with bugs. How TF did that tiny little bird capture and kill a rodent as big as it is? The bird doesn’t even have any talons!
