The Birds Of Prey Alignment Chart

[@Hila2205]

I think impaling live creatures on sticks is a far more evil behavior than dropping femur bones of something already dead from a great height..

[@fermintenava5911]

If it's not a turtle, that is 😂

[@vellarus6581]

@@fermintenava5911 At least the turtle's instantly killed by the fall (?)

[@Hila2205]

@@fermintenava5911 well, this actually is chaotic behavior. They don't mean to harm anything other than the turtle, it just turns out that way..

[@jb7363]

Shrikes have to be opportunistic because they are small and their weapons aren't great/effective as the actual raptors. The bearded vulture, with all its gifts, are like "I just drop down what's dead or dying... and whatever it falls upon by accident."

[@Ellimanist15]

So stealing and angry outburst are more evil than methodically mounting your victims on spikes? Seems backwards IMO...

[@motorcitymangababe]

Heyan, they're just filling their fridge.... For a party.

[@janiceharris1812]

I was thinking that too actually.

[@franciscodecomayaguela9496]

I mean, they're being resourceful tho, instead of being a mooch and a menace to other animals lmao

[@myevilplans]

If you don't have hands you put your food however you can to eat.

[@skycastrum5803]

The problem with defense of the butcher bird's behavior is it applies to all birds. They're all ust wild animals doing what comes natural. But, if you gotta make a bird alignment chart, it's hard to paint something worse than "the one that skewers animals on spikes, dead and alive."

[@albestos]

I'd argue that the Loggerhead Shrike is more evil and the Bearded Vulture more neutral

[@bumblingbureaucrat6110]

I agree, I can't believe that the Shrike is only Chaotic Neutral but the Harpy Eagle is listed as Neutral Evil.

[@Auryce]

Same. I think I’d put the shrike either chaotic or neutral evil

[@arobed4]

yeah, the loggerhead shrike is literally called the butcherbird, have it replace my fav eagle the Harpy Eagle or at least the Bearded Vulture

[@MuppetsSh0w]

Loggerhead Shrike is the most chaotic evil of them all and by a longshot.

[@guitaristssuck8979]

Agree

[@motorcitymangababe]

I absolutely adore Shrikes. They were gonna be outcompeted by song birds, and said "you know what, I choose VIOLENCE" and I respect that

[@jamesmiyake5205]

A fun take on things. I think that a shrike should be chaotic evil for passerines though!

[@victoriaeads6126]

We live near the largest population of Bald Eagles on the North American East coast. Ironically, we also have Red Tailed Hawks, so people sometimes think they are hearing eagles, but they are hearing hawks.

[@alsaunders7805]

Not sure where you are but Bald Eagles are quite common here in lowcountry South Carolina. 🤔🤓🍻

[@FlyingDwarfman]

Growing up in a river valley area outside Seattle, I would regularly spot and hear both. Almost 100% of the time I would point out hearing a bald eagle near water and a red-tailed hawk away from water, people would think I was the messed up one. They'd insist the bald eagle was a gull (no gulls in sight) or the RTH was the bald eagle (no water in sight).

[@regionfuego6]

The only thing that doesn't sits right with me is that vultures are evil because they eat bones (something already dead to begin with) but the bird that puts impaled bodies like trophies just to eat them later is "neutral"

[@eyespliced]

I'm sorry, but I can't trust this ranking. The Shrike, aka butcher bird wasn't one of the three "evil" birds and it really should have been. It may be the smallest, but it is still a bird of prey, and arguably the most brutal of them all.

[@the11382]

If the shrike is the size of the bald eagle, we would call it a monster.

[@melindamuller4466]

The red backed shrike is called "Neuntöter" in german, which is literally "Nine Killer" - allegedly, the name comes from the belief that this bird would kill and stab nine prey items before eating any of them. Up until now, I didn't even know how many species in that group even existed, certainly didn't expect 30.

[@agerven]

Danke für diese extra Information!

[@CocoLocoToco]

Danke bro

[@YaBoiSamF13]

“This bird impales its victims onto spikes to feast on later.” Are you sure that’s chaotic neutral? Sounds pretty evil to me.

[@victoriaeads6126]

Ospreys are gorgeous, gliding over water, fishing for the same meal as the human anglers.

[@babyitsnatural]

I would say that the thief (bald eagle) was neutral and that Vlad the Impaler (loggerhead shrike) was the evil one

[@Nuinwing]

Since you added the Shrike to the list, I could suggest a few non-raptors to the list that in my opinion make anything listed as evil here look angelic in comparison. 1. the Pelican. it will try to eat pretty much anything it thinks can fit into it's over-sized mouth and it always swallows em alive. 2.the Giant Petrel. in my opinion the nastiest bastard among birds, they love eating penguins and always start ripping into them trough the butt(and yes the penguin is very much alive at this point) just to make sure they can score more evil points....I mean why else would they eat their prey in such a horrible manner?

[@gshaindrich]

don´t forget that so many common passerine birds feed their young with mainly insects/invertebrates and of course that falcons are the sister group to parrots. Actually there being a vegetarian bird is extremely rare. And then how about "seed predation" ? Plants are living beings too! ... in short stupid video to judge animals by human arbitrary standards.

[@touremuhammad5983]

I’m surprised she forgot to mention Giant Petrels in this video! They’re definitely classified as Chaotic Evil because they’re everything Skuas are, but on Steroids! 😅

[@GenericDan]

​@@touremuhammad5983she added the shrike because it gives bird of prey vibes. A pelican would be in the handbag alignment chart.

[@XSemperIdem5]

Omg yes, the giant petrel. I can never forget the Antarctica documentary I watched where they started eating an injured elephant seal while he was still alive.

[@charcoal6017]

You forgot the spite-puke that Petrel chicks have, where it corrodes the part of a bird's plumage that helps keep the plumage from getting wet iirc

[@hypo7351]

“Villainous vibe to them” Damn, it’s almost like it has to eat.

[@DawnFire05]

I am glad turkey vulture made it to lawful good, they’re my favorite bird

[@MuraeBraun]

I vote that the cassowary ought to be neutral evil. They will absolutely claw humans and animals to death, and can't even be kept in communal enclosures in captivity because they're super territorial amongst both their own kind and other animals.

[@brianmoore1164]

Hiked an area filled with Osprey nests this past weekend. Beautiful birds and I really enjoyed watching them hunt.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

[@kickassssnation027]

You cannot tell me that a Bald Eagle is more evil than a raven/crow. They make cats fight for their amusement.

[@GryphonWyng]

True that, but they're not considered birds of prey. They also act like Mafia, protecting smaller birds, and in exchange they get to eat a portion of their eggs and young.

[@GodMaxDrinkerofTea]

Nah Corvids aren't evil, just chaotic. They are actually really nice most of the time.

​@@GryphonWyng Shrikes aren't birds of prey either. Just like crows and ravens, they are songbirds

[@sylascole5254]

Kinda surprised shrikes aren't evil on this list 🤨 EDIT: Since folks can't seem to follow, I did watch the video and am aware that they are the 4th entry on the list. I disagree with their placement is my point. First time I had even heard of a shrike was watching Hannibal, which to me seems to indicate evil more than two eagles and a vulture.

[@omisan771]

The bald eagle eats a wide variety of preys; Fish, mammals, birds and carrion as well. It doesn't just steal from other birds of prey, just like lions don't just steal from hyenas and wild dogs.

[@stillhere1425]

[@veledwin1]

Yayyyy I'm so glad Shrikes were included here. They're one of my favorite birds, but they rarely get included in things like this. I know it's technically not a bird of prey but it's certainly close enough :)

The sound of a bald eagle is better than the red tail in my mind. I’ve had both nesting in my yard, and the screech of the bald eagle is easier on my ears.

[@candersson60]

Considering that bald eagles are just roided seagulls with sore throats, and seagulls being the most chaotic and evil piece of feathers which has unblessed this earth, I think that's a completely fair categorisation.

[@terras6418]

If I remember, harpy eagles are pretty chill to humans. And the secretary bird river stomps it's pray to death, while in yoga pants and with a massive thigh gap.
