 Other animals recorded as prey include rabbit, fat-tailed dunnart ("Sminthopsis crassicaudata"), stripe-faced dunnart ("Sminthopsis macroura"), Forrest's mouse ("Leggadina forresti" ), beetles and spur‐throated locust ("Nomadacris guttulosa").Black falcons have been reported hunting adult letter-winged kites, while black kites have taken nestlings.The letter-winged kite's fluctuations in abundance make its conservation status difficult to assess, though it is clearly much less common than the black-shouldered kite.
