Young avian animals of varying proportions and portions are caught and eaten by a hungry heron for prey food eating. The heron is hunting in duck nesting habitats, and a mother duck can do nothing to protect her offspring from this kind of wild predatory eating behavior. The ducks are a lot smaller than the herons, and because of this, a mother duck is unable to adequately defend herself and her offspring from an aggressive Heron that eats ducklings. The heron is a species of meateating wading birds. The heron is not known as a bird of prey, but it is a predatory hunting bird. The heron attacks and feeds on other animals because they are carnivorous predators; they are top predators and are exceptional hunters of all kinds of prey animals that live and breed throughout the world. Herons have an incredible instinct to attack and eat other animals, and this type of feeding behavior has evolved over millions of years to enable them to have an extensive menu of wild proteinrich food. The herons have a very diverse diet of meat from hunting and eating other animals, and they especially like feeding on ducks, ducklings, waterbirds, rats, rodents, and other small mammals and birds and a wide variety of marine creatures that live in seawater and freshwater. The heron can be seen actively hunting and eating baby birds and other animal babies throughout the breeding seasons, especially when these animals live and breed in the herons' natural habitats. The herons can be found living and breeding in almost every habitat close to water throughout the world.
