What Does a Harris Hawk Prefer to Eat?

CSEF · 2007 Zoology

Tyler N. Swycinsky · Jamestown Elementary School, Jamestown, Tuolumne County

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective was to determine what type of food a Harris hawk prefers to eat, if given a choice of four different types of food. Methods/Materials The methods of my experiment were to lay all the foods out on a ledge in the Harris Hawks mews, I then would let the bird of prey fly over to the ledge and chose what he wanted to eat. My materials were a Harris Hawk, Quail, Chicken, Beef, and Fish. Results The results of my experiment were that the Harris Hawk chose the quail the majority of the days. The bird of prey chose quail first four out of seven days. He chose beef first three out of seven days, and he didn#t choose chicken or fish first out of any of the days. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion was that the Harris Hawk chose the quail the majority of the days. My hypothesis turned out to be correct.

Summary statement
