Herons that hunt in and around water eat rats when this bird feeds to vary its food intake of animal meat. This compilation is a study that shows how a hunting heron dines along a stretch of river that runs through an urban city, and how it is catching and attacking the rat population that lives in this habitat. The heron is like no other animal that lives on the water because they are extraordinary rat-catchers and hunters, which is evident in this collection of action-filled hunting scenarios. A rat is a very tough rodent mammal, and the herons must be very fast and precise when they are catching rats, and even more accurate when they have captured a rat, especially when they are trying to dine on a rat because the rats bite the herons. They fight hard to escape from all the hungry herons that attack them. A heron must avoid injury during these mini-battles with the rats because there is no room for mistakes in nature and no way of healing an injured bird like the heron. Predator and prey conflicts happen regularly between the herons and the rats in wild places throughout the world. The heron uses its beak to catch the rats, and it steadies itself with its massive wings before it dines. The grey heron is a species of meat-eating predatory wading birds that live on and around water; they are waterbirds that don't swim but wade through the water. The heron is a hunting bird that uses its long, sharp beak to catch animals while silently and patiently stalking its intended prey; they are water waders with long legs traversing their aquatic domain The heron attacks and feeds on other animals because they are carnivorous predators; they are top avian predators and are exceptional hunters of all kinds of prey animals that live and breed worldwide. Herons have an incredible instinct to attack and eat other animals. This type of feeding behaviour has evolved over millions of years to enable them to have an extensive menu of wild protein-rich animal meat food. The herons are flying birds with a very diverse diet of meat from hunting and eating other animals. They especially like dining on water-based waterbirds, waterfowl baby birds, rats, rodents, other small mammals and birds and insects, and a wide variety of marine and aquatic creatures living in and around saltwater and freshwater. Food eaten without chewing is how the heron and all birds eat their food because they have no teeth for crushing, and dining on big or small portions by swallowing in gulps is how they feed. The heron can be seen actively hunting and eating animal babies throughout the breeding seasons, especially when they live and breed in the herons' natural habitats. Herons will hunt and eat smaller birds and bird babies, hatchlings, nestlings, and bird eggs, regularly raiding throughout the bird breeding seasons when the heron dines and eats The herons are avians living and breeding in almost every habitat close to water throughout the world's coastal and inland waterways.
