the red kite is a large raptor found in parts of europe and northwestern europe. the sexes are identical - other than females being significantly larger than males. they primarily feed on small mammals, such as mice, shrews, and voles; a large portion of the diet is also composed of carrion, and some households intentionally feed these birds by leaving out meat such as chicken. in spring, earthworms are also an important food for red kites. pair bonds are typically renewed yearly, with both parents assisting in raising the chicks.
