In the case of dead nestlings, adult shrikes may eat or discard their bodies or else feed them to their remaining young.
Females may respond to the fluttering display with begging notes, similar to those of juveniles begging for food; this encourages the male to feed her.
It is the only member of the shrike family endemic to North America; the related northern shrike occurs north of its range; however, it is also found in Siberia.
