High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus), sometimes known as the "pern", is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, eagles and harriers. Despite its name, this species is not related to the true buzzards in the genus Buteo, and is closer to the kites. It is a summer migrant to most of Europe and western Asia, wintering in tropical Africa. It is a specialist feeder, living mainly on the larvae and nests of wasps and hornets, although it will take small mammals, reptiles and birds. It is thought that honey buzzards have a chemical deterrent in their feathers that protects them from wasp attack. The specific name apivorus means "bee-eater", although bees are much less important than wasps in its diet. The Honey Buzzard breeds in woodland, and is inconspicuous except in the spring, when the mating display includes wing-clapping. Breeding males are fiercely territorial.
