Caracará eats everything and is often seen in urban areas

The caracara (caracara plancus), in flight, can be confused with the vulture. Within the reach of the eyes, however, what is observed is a distinct species, starting with the wings: at the tips, the spots are of a light color. In the adult, the plumage varies from brown to black. The white head is adorned with a black plume and the white neck has black stripes.

When it's time to eat, the bird doesn't hesitate, because everything can be used […]

The caracará occurs in open fields, savannas, forest edges, beach and urban environments, and can be found throughout the national territory, from the south of the Amazon River to Rio Grande do Sul.
