Birds Of Prey Have birds of prey ever killed modern humans?

Question by Bird of Paradise: Have birds of prey ever killed modern humans?
I read some really old story from the early 1900s about an eagle actually taking an 18 month old baby as prey. Could something this extreme actually happen? I know that much larger birds killed pre-human hominoids millions of years ago, but have birds of prey killed modern humans?

Best answer:

Answer by Andrew G
There are a few stories about young babies being carried off by eagles; and even one of a young girl being carried off; then later rescued from the eagle’s eyrie. I don’t know how authentic they are.

I think it could be possible that people stranded in the desert and near death might be pecked to death by vultures, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this had happened in, say, India.
