Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | My friend Bill Kominsky asked about the lack of the fish head when the male osprey brings a fish. First, they don't always take the head off - see image in first comment. Second, ospreys always start eating a fish by tearing at its mouth. The male's strong instinct is to catch a fish and eat straight away. When it eats some fish before it's delivered, the head is missing. It's as simple as that. Although this behaviour serves to protect the nest it isn't done for that reason or else it wouldn't deliver whole fish to the nest at all. |
