Editing Sunbittern (section)

===Feeding===
The sunbittern consumes a wide range of animal prey. Insects form an important part of the diet, with cockroaches, dragonfly larvae, flies, katydids, water beetles and moths being taken. Other invertebrate prey includes crabs, spiders, shrimps and earthworms. They will also take vertebrate prey including fish, tadpoles, toads and frogs, eels and lizards.<ref name="HBW3"/>

Sunbitterns are one of 12 species of birds in five families that have been described as fishing using baits or lures to attract prey to within striking distance. This type of behaviour falls within the common definition of [[tool use]]. In sunbitterns this behaviour has only been observed in captive birds so far.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Ruxton|first1=Graeme D.|last2=Hansell|first2=Michael H.|title=Fishing with a Bait or Lure: A Brief Review of the Cognitive Issues|journal=Ethology|date=January 2011|volume=117|issue=1|pages=1–9|doi=10.1111/j.1439-0310.2010.01848.x|bibcode=2011Ethol.117....1R }}</ref>
