Shrikes Have an Absolutely Brutal Way of Killing Large Prey Famous for impaling their victims, these songbirds first use a special maneuver to break the necks of small rodents.

Haven't done a #badassbirds post in a minute. Shrikes are well known to impale prey on thorns etc. but it gets more macabre

"They grasp mice by the neck with their pointed beak, pinch the spinal cord to induce paralysis, and then vigorously shake their prey with enough force to break its neck." 🪶
