Food of the crazy kind & weird diets 😀

What kind of diet do you think these birds are on? 😀

When Hive account@nelinoeva challenged us for photos of birds with food in the mouth, I took a look at my collection and WOW - what a variety of diet I found!

No - I did not find them eating pizzas and burgers. See for yourself what they love to eat...

Some, like the barn owl, love to catch mice and rodents of various types. While some prefer Sushi 😀

I am not kidding. Look at this river tern with raw fish. It will be eating Sushi isn't it?

I love Sushi!

Kingfishers love Sushi too but they do try other sea-food! Like this one here..

Then there are ones that like frog legs - like a Chinese diet..
This Purple Heron was silently wading around in the rain and caught a fat juicy frog just as I focused on it...

How about some frog legs for dinner?

For change, sometimes birds go vegan too. This golden oriole was eating fruit for a change..

I am on Vegan diet!

As a coincidence, just before I saw this challenge by Hive account@nelinoeva, I actually clicked a whole series of pics and wrote a post about Early bird catching a worm that has clicks of a White throated Kingfisher with a juicy green caterpillar - A protein diet??😀

A protein diet?

Out of all these, my favorite is the click of the barn owl with the rodent because it is difficult to get a barn owl first of all, clicking it at night is a difficult task in low light and then to top it all, to find it with a kill is a really rare occurrence...

Therefore, here is that photo in original form as my entry for contest #SMAP 82
