The tiger shrike (Lanius tigrinus) is a common winter visitor and passage migrant (Wang & Hails, 2007). A juvenile
bird was observed in mid-Sep.2006, manipulating a large scarab beetle (Fig. 14). The bird was on its perch when it
suddenly dived towards the ground and caught the beetle by one of its legs. Returning to its perch and with one of its
feet holding down the beetle, it started to stab the wriggling insect with its sharp bill. Then, holding on to the head, it
thrashed it against the branch until it managed to tear away the upper portions from the body and ate its meal
