WONDERFUL FACTS - What is the most powerful bird in the world?

The wild animal known to have been killed and carried away by a bird was a 15 pound male red howler monkey killed by a Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) in Manu National Park, Peru in 1990.

The harpy eagle is considered the world's most powerful bird of prey, although it weighs only 20 pounds. 🐧

Happy birding 🐾
