Seriously though, to make this thread fully crypto-"OTHER nature discussion," those lovely little shrikes are bazoinkers. Apparently they hunt down and slaughter airliftable lizards, mammals, and insects, as per the links I posted, and then IMPALE them on sharp sticks, barbed wire, and the like. I found video of this. It is apparently considered sexy behavior in the shrike kingdom. Go figure.

"The diet of these shrikes consists of large insects and small vertebrates that include songbirds, reptiles, rodents and even mammals . . . there were instances when they caught and killed animals up to five times as large as their own body size."

and impaled them.
 
"...Like raptors, owls and a few other birds, shrikes cast pellets consisting of indigestible parts of the prey like bones, fur, skin and feathers."

dude.
I'm reconsidering the beer plans after all.
