Grey Falcon and Red Goshawk
Grey falcons can be found in many areas of Australia. They usually nest
in dry areas, however they are still considered as rare birds. Unlike
red goshawk, they usually stay in places where there is no too much
timber. However like the red goshawk they love to catch birds in flight
for food. They usual fly close enough to the ground beating their wings
slowly and sometimes they soar high into the sky to search for prey.
Just like any other birds, grey falcons are feed on insects, small
mammals and reptiles. They can catch grasshoppers and other insects on
the wing just like how they catches birds.

Grey flacons are known to be lazy birds because they use old nests of
other birds. They just line it with soft material such as animal hair or
bark.
Meanwhile, the red goshawk is found along the north-eastern coast of
Australia and in the northern parts of Queensland, Western Australia and
Northern territory however they are very rare in New South Wales.

Red goshawks feed on other birds such as cockatoos and ducks. They also
like small mammals and reptiles. It is possible that most goshawks are
threatened by the chemicals contained in the bodies of animals they eat.
These chemicals often cause the bird's eggs to have very thin shells so
that the baby birds die before they hatch. Goshawk are barely seen in
areas where there are many houses. They only survive in areas with
bushland.
