Feeding Habits
Brown Falcon primarily consumes small mammals, young rabbits, small birds, lizards, snakes, caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles. They forage on the ground, especially in winter, when insects comprise most of their diet, displaying unique ground-chasing feeding behavior.
Habitat
Brown Falcon occupies a diverse range of habitats, primarily avoiding only dense rainforest and thick eucalyptus groves. These birds are frequent inhabitants of open woodlands, savannas, grasslands, agricultural lands, and deserts. They adapt to varying elevations from sea level up to 2000 meters, extending occasionally to 3000 meters in some regions. Brown Falcon typically breeds in pre-existing nests of other raptor species and can sometimes be found nesting in hollows within tree limbs.
