An impressive raptor with a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters. They have roughened toe pads to help grip slippery prey and they often steal food from other birds.

IMO, food inflation is due to Sobeys, Loblaws, Metro, organizational structures which are too clumsey to control costs, which is possible, so instead, take lazy actions of preditating competition, price fixing and increasing prices because we tolerate lax corporate punishment for breaking the law.
