Not very bright at all

This is so great to see. I've loved these birds for almost 30 years (and first met them on Sea Lion Island, where they filmed this piece). I loved them so much, in fact, that I wrote a book about them (and the other 8 caracara species, which are just as weird and wonderful), called A Most Remarkable Creature. If you enjoyed this video, you might get a kick out of the book; it's a wild, epic journey through their lives and origins, and the people who live with them. Caracaras 4eva! - Jonathan Meiburg

Similar in behaviour to Keas in New Zealand who, although from the parrot family, eats meat and have an omnivorous diet and are known as tricksters and 'the clowns of the alps' in many respects the same behaviour. The curiosity, resourcefulness and problem solving skills are embedded in these birds as a means of survival in harsh conditions. Beautiful footage of a bird that is obviously somewhat unique in its nomenclature..❤

@@sedamcclurg9699 Vultures, which are also members of the raptor (accipitridae) family, do have a keen sense of smell. In the US they are observed as a means to detect leaks in gas pipelines as they gather around those because gas to them smells like rotting carcasses. To be precise, caracaras are not hawks but falcons which are closer related to parrots than hawks.

@lakotacamp8533 18 дней назад

Fascinating. I used to be a falconer in the states and the general consensus among the master falconers was that the smartest raptor is the Harris Hawk, at least for training and hunting cooperatively; so much so that new apprentice falconers were discouraged from using them because they behave so differently from other raptors. The general consensus was that owls were the least intelligent, though I question whether this isn't a bias among falconers whose ancient training techniques were designed for primarily visual hunters as opposed to owls. I would love to see research to determine the most intelligent raptor by modern scientific standards of research.
