Can't say why peregrines think the brains are the best, but you mostly see the head come off right at the start or you never see the head at all.  Males when they bring food to their mates will often leave on wings and legs which don't have any "meat" so to speak but the head will be missing.

I guess some of the heads I see on the ground at the McKenzie site would be lost treasure for the peregrines.  I do recall seeing the Brandon chicks picking away at the occasional head left in the nest box by the parents.   ;D

Not wrong, the food is the brain, just not sure it improves peregrines' brain power, but some would argue that peregrines don't really need much help in that department ... well maybe a couple do when it comes to their choice of nestsites but ...  ::)

I didn't know that either!  Thought it wasn't any good since the parents always snap it off before dropping off a meal...don't they?  Or do they take the best part for themselves before feeding the kids?   ??? ::)
