i will see if i can find the site i saw the clips on. and i myself have fed my T.Blondi a bird. it was a paraket or however you spell it.
The only show I have seen with a T eating a bird was of a Avic species eating a baby bird out of a nest. Just because some species (aboreal) may eat birds, do to the fact that they already live in trees and will eat anything they can catch, does not mean that all T's will climb a tree to eat birds. Due to the extreme size of a T. blondi, it is very doubtful that in nature it would climb to any appreciable height in order to get a meal thereby risking death. a T.blondi would probably eat an injured or baby bird if it was found within proximity of the ground.Mattyb said:they do eat birds...and what i explained is true...i seen this on animal planet and clips of it on the internet. I've also talked to a few entomologists about it.
>>You actually fed your spider a parakeet??I think you took a big chance there of injuring your spider if you did.Have you ever taken a bite from a parakeet.Even for their small size their hooked bills are quite nasty...very sharp and strong...sharp and strong enough to kill,let alone "easily" injure your spider.I think "if" I had the need/urge to feed my spider a bird I'd stick with something along the lines of a small canary or finch and make sure the spider is definitely big enough to easily take it down.I'd not feed it a hook billed bird for sure.Too risky.Mattyb said:i will see if i can find the site i saw the clips on. and i myself have fed my T.Blondi a bird. it was a paraket or however you spell it.
