'''Cave Shrikes''' are a species of predatory birds in [[Bara Magna]].

== History ==
The Cave Shrike was a bird on [[Spherus Magna]] before [[the Shattering]], and afterwards it was one of the few [[creatures]] to still thrive on the newly created planet of [[Bara Magna]].

While on the way to [[Tesara]] during {{p|Mata Nui|Being}}'s training, [[Ackar]] pointed out a Cave Shrike to him and was able to predict which way it was going to turn by watching the Shrike closely. He tried to use this observation as a lesson to Mata Nui in reading his opponent's moves in battle.{{BookCitation|CoMN}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Cave Shrikes horde food in stockpiles, but do not fight for them unless eggs are in the stockpile. They are known to glide over the sand dunes for days in erratic patterns to escape notice while in search of food. They hunt small animals, and catch them by diving swiftly down at them; should they miss, they immediately flee, for their thin bodies cannot withstand most counterattacks.

They have a habit of twitching their wing in the direction in which they intend to fly, which can be used to predict their flight patterns.{{BookCitation|CoMN}}

== Trivia ==
* Swords made from Cave Shrike feathers are brittle, but seen as great prizes, as the [[Glatorian]] who takes a feather must be able to predict the bird's attack and counter it without injury.
