However, this inhabitant of low thorny scrub and traditional farmland has now become much rarer in the Swiss lowlands. It often spears its prey on thorns or pointed side branches to handle them and dissect them or to store them in its \u201clarder\u201d. Hence its old, country name \u201cNine Killer\u201d or \u201cButcher Bird\u201d. People used to mistakenly believe that it always spikes nine insects before eating one."}
