Artist

Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This is an 16 x 20 oil painting on canvas of a Secretary's bird profile.
The secretary bird is instantly recognizable as a very large bird with an eagle-like body on crane-like legs that give the bird a height of as much as (4 ft 3 in).
It feeds on snakes, large insects, lizards and rats, stamping the larger prey to death with its large claws, it can kill and eat a king cobra snake.
The secretary bird is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and is generally non-migratory, though it may be locally nomadic as it follows rainfall and the resulting abundance of prey. Its range extends from Senegal to Somalia and south to Western Cape, South Africa.
