The black-breasted buzzard kite is a large bird of prey from Australia. It has broad wings, a black breast, and light feathers on the rest of its body.
The black-breasted buzzard kite differs from other birds of prey by using stones as tools. It helps maintain balance in Australia's nature by eating sick animals and regulating rodent populations.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
