Crested Hawk Eagles take a range of prey, including birds up the size of chickens, small mammals, snakes, and lizards. They perch in an exposed location to hunt, usually high up; occasionally they choose someplace lower, such as on a fencepost or in the crown of a tree. They then swoop down to catch their prey on the ground, although birds are sometimes caught in trees.
