The yellow-billed kite has an overall brown plumage and their head is relatively light compared to the rest of their body. These birds have dark bead-like eyes. They have a yellow bill which is a hooked-shaped beak for tearing flesh. Their yellow bill is their unique identifying feature. They have tail feathers that split, forming a v-shape. They are also called fork-tailed kites. They have pale yellow legs which they use to catch their prey. #yellowbilledkites #birdsofkenya #birdsonplanet (at Nairobi, Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb5YVvTqgvj/?utm_medium=tumblr
