Did you know that there are vampire birds too? The vampire finch is a small bird found on the Galapagos Islands. Because of the dry climate and lack of freshwater, the birds have resorted to drinking the blood of larger birds. They peck at base of the tail feathers of their host until blood is drawn. In addition to blood, the vampire finch also feeds on other birds' eggs. Just roll them off a cliff and...CRACK! Snack time!
