Best Answer

Arthropods, bird eggs, and small birds and lizards in the case of the genus Henicopernis and bee, hornet, and wasp larvae as well as small mammals in regard to the genus Pernis are what honey buzzards eat. The common name is misleading because predation focuses upon honey-makers, not honey.

Arthropods, bee, hornet and wasp larvae and small birds, lizards and mammals describe what honey buzzards eat. The Henicopernis genus of honey buzzards eats only arthropods, bird eggs and small birds and lizards whereas the other, Pernis genus feeds upon bee, hornet and wasp larvae and small mammals. The common name is misleading because honey buzzard predator-prey relationships focus upon consuming honey-makers, not eating honey.

Why don't buzzards eat dead dogs?

Buzzards are scavengers, and do not hunt for food like birds of prey. They lack the agility, and strength of their talons to hunt. Buzzards on the other hand, have tremendous eye sight, and sense of smell. The stronger the smell, the easier it is. Buzzards rely on the oder of a dead animal to guide them to their meal. An animal that has been electrocuted, or (cooked) so to speak, would most likely not give off the same oder that buzzards would be attracted to.
