    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loggerhead_shrike

    Due to its small size and weak talons, this predatory bird relies on impaling its prey upon thorns or barbed wire for facilitated consumption

    That bird is metal as fuck

      Most Shrikes are like this. Their genus is Lanius, Latin for “butcher”.

      (Also a fun piece of trivia for FTL fans.)
