There was a stork nest on my property above a tree. One morning, I was look down at my property and I saw a stork pecking and moving one of its babies (I'm assuming it's the weakest baby stork), couple minutes later... the mother knock off the baby from the nest. I ran down to the bottom of that tree and surprised that the baby stork was still alive. So I took the baby stork, clean its wounds, fed it, and the baby stork was healthy and strong again.

fascinante?? no lo veo " solo veo supervivencia tal vez la madre a visto a uno de sus hijos más indefensos y posiblemente quiera evitarle más sufrimiento ( quien sabe)
Morbid curiosity. I think we do it because it makes us feel safe. "Sure glad it's not me in that spot" - something like that but unconscious. Some people can't bear to watch it all together
The noise it's making is a distress call meant to alert the parents that it needs help. Notice when it makes the noise the others quiet down? The distress call also tells the siblings danger is near, and they'll be quiet to avoid detection. Parents also make a warning call to alert the babies and quiet them. In this case, the mother is killing her own baby and the young don't really understand what's going on. She is also hesitating just tossing it from the nest because a still alive baby beneath the nest will alert predators to the nest location.
Two years in a row a steller jay nest formed and has chics in the same spot, and both years the runt was chucked out of the nest and dead within a hour or so right below the nest.
You can see it's actually quite a bit smaller than the others. It's most likely the weakest, and least likely to survive. The mother being unable to care for all of them most likely picked that one to toss from the nest
This is common among storks, a lot of you may know that parents sometimes kill or discard chicks that are weak or small not to endanger the rest. This chick from what I research was not doing so well but still kept trying to go back to the mom, eventually the researchers found the poor chick dead the next day. Though this is barbaric and look cruel, this is how nature is
Do not be harrrassing and ordering people to not watch this if they are sensitive. What the channel operator instructed was not to post hateful comments. Respectfully😊😊
Humans are no diffrent.. Children physically and sexually abused by thetr parents will often crawl back.. Even when adults they don't reject their abusing parents...
It was the smallest and it might of been a issue with not enough food in the mothers opinion. Kill the "weakest" to save the rest. Rodents do the same, even dogs have been known to do it. Though normally not so brutal. Most of the time they just drop the chick out of the nest.
@Wheezing - I was thinking the same, if you watch the very beginning of the clip (00:31) it already looks like the chics up front is bruised & flopping his neck all over the place. If you listen to the group you can tell one of them is chirping as if it had an injured neck.... the mother gets confused and grabs the wrong one whom ends up being the little fighting warrior till the very end. **This was definitely a mistake by mom**
Not everything dies instantly from a broken neck surprisingly. A cat could survive with a broken neck and walk around, but a broken neck will eventually kill any creature, whether it’s sooner or later.
I witnessed such a story in our nest near my house. Luckily, I was nearby and was able to pick up the 5-day-old chick from the nest. I was shocked - what to do with it? Then he calmed down, read the advice and began to raise him instead of storks. That's how we lived. The storks raised four in the nest, and I raised the fifth on the ground. I made him a separate nest in the barn. He fed fish, mice and chickens. He grew up strong and even began to fly earlier than his brothers in the nest. But this is a lot of work and it is difficult to do it every year.
That was very hard to watch. It was trying so hard. Even after all that, it still kept going back to it’s mother. Sigh, nature in all it’s glory sure is hard to watch. Rip tho little warrior.
It's not about survive of the fittest! It's about lack of food. Where there is enough food, everyone survives. They do not take notice when a chick is sick. It just dies and is discarded or part of the nest.
@@liznm-natur-channel it definitely is about survival of the fittest. That was the weakest the others were stronger, the fittest survived the weakest didnt.
@@liznm-natur-channel I do not think so. How mother-bird can calculate how much meal she could find??? The whole forest is around them, food is everywhere. I think that she killed the least fitted of child to prevent bad gene propagation in population
@@liznm-natur-channel Birds are insanely smart. The truth is that it probably isn't about food, although birds will abandon chicks, usually the whole nest, if they can't find enough food, and not exactly survival of the fittest either. If you compare the baby being killed to the other three, its not as fluffy, not as big, the beak isn't as yellow. I breed birds, and a mother will either remove a chick from the nest if it isn't well, or just stop feeding it. Sometimes baby birds are born with congenital defects that prevent them from thriving. I've seen parents refuse to sit on a particular baby or refuse to feed it. They may not make a conscious decision to abandon a baby, but their instincts tell them to and they do it.
@@Vadim_Ozheredov most wildlife have very specific foods they eat, an if they are struggling to find that said prey item they will cull the weaker members. It's a pretty common characteristic that even humans have actually practiced historically.
Yep was totally hoping for a drop right at the end...im displeased with no real ending... i mean without a push from nest the little guy totally could have pulled thru this very very scarring moment which builds him up in grand scheme of thing in a sense of personality ya know ... which he will then pass on to his chicks when he has chicks of his own... except he will prevail where his mother has fail. By snapping all the little babies necks instead just out just one. But in doing so he relizes how blind he has been. His mother didnt snap his neck and just treat him like bag pipes out of anger. She did it out of love. as painful as it was, it could have been alot worse" he thinks to himself". And just then his vision blurs and he remebers mother sitting there as she was all those years ago after making a pretzel knot outa his neck. Its not painful this time. He sees things clearly now. So clearly he recalls his whole full life from him wishing pretzeling his kids necks to the bird he made them with and even the first song they kissed to. And then he recalls the most important detail. That all this was just wishful thinking and that he was in reality, taking his last breath. And in that last breath he lived a lifetime...aaaaaannnd then actully for reals dies.
I'm a bit fed up with oversensitive people in the comments acting as though this is an act of cruelty that we can apply human morality to. The video itself comes with a sensitivity disclaimer. This is a completely natural occurence in the wild. That mother is doing what she must to ensure that the strongest genes carry down the legacy. Animals and humans are on two completely different playing fields.
That’s because the power that be know we are supposed to be at one with nature but by dumbing us down through food and electronics, it takes that instinct away.

They are unable to kill them usually. Just severely injuring the chick and it will die of its injuries. However she might be holding back since its her baby and not a prey that she's going to eat....
Yea looks like the bird can just pick it up in it's beak and throw it or drop it out of the nest. The parent bird Seemed to enjoy crushing it's head and neck
I see a lot of comments about people finding this sad or cruel, or about how this is just nature, but I can't help but wonder, because many birds are such dedicated parents, if it's something that's at all difficult for them to do. Sacrificing the weakest one to ensure the survival of the others. She was unable to kill the chick quickly, and the siblings seemed distressed, and calmed when she sat on them (comforting, maybe?), so I really can't help but wonder what these birds must be thinking or going through. To them, it may just be something that had to be done, they can't communicate to us so we'll never know for sure, but I think it's interesting to think about it sometimes. I hope the other chicks thrived thanks to this decision. I guess the best way to compare this is euthanasia for an animal that you know won't live well, we try our best to make it quick and painless, but for this parent that's not an option, all she has is a beak. She's doing the best she can, as all wild animals always do, please do not hate her. P.S, before anyone comments about anthropomorphizing, trust me, I know, I'm only pondering possibilities and pointless sentiment on a nest of birds I'll forget in a week. It's just a bird, but curiosity is part of human nature, let me wonder in peace. Thank you to the uploader for sharing this, it's very interesting!
It could just be the only way the stork can grab it's children, but it also seems like they are purposefully trying to snap it's neck in order to kill it faster, though obviously that task is much harder with a beak, you can't fault it for the attempt at a swift ending. Even if it can only grab by the neck, the fact the mother goes back to attempt to kill the chick multiple times despite it clearly being unable to compete for food I believe shows some compassion, as it could've just let the chick starve to death. Edit : Also when the stork adult sits down, it seems to face towards or keep the dying chick in eye sight as if to ensure it dies relatively soon.
8:39 when the other chick started to join in, MY HEART 😭. Okay no I do understand that its nature but it was just very interesting to see. This is natural. It's hard to watch but its still very informative. Thank you.
You know they got confused right? They thought it was food, because the mother kept on biting him. The only one of those creatures trying to kill the small one was the mother....

Nature is brutal and unforgiving. There is no room for morals. We as humans are capable with our intelligence to be able to make complex moral decisions but we choose to pick infinitely more evil on our accord.
He wasn't killed because he was weak or sick, just because he was one too many. The mother killed one chick to improve the chances of the other three surviving. This one just got unlucky.
Not sad at all. Mama didn't want to deal with what might be a sick offspring that will become a crapping vampire that wastes supplies that she wants for the siblings instead.
Its not sad. Your just weak. This generation is weak in 57B.C. this was all of humanity all the time. Every day for over 5000 years of killing each other and you think animals killing the weak babies are sad? You would last a day if we had a time machine. It's just survive. It's power over the mind. Emotions are fake
Heavy Rocknroll yes because human beings are much more civilized now and a lot of us, maybe not you, have developed something called empathy. It’s completely normal for someone to feel bad for the poor thing; it doesn’t make him or anyone else weak just because they have emotions.
I've known this from when I was a little girl. The weakest is always neglected or left to die, even killed. The fact that grown adults don't know about this baffles me.
That's what happens when parents are too picky with the reading materials for the sake of "Moral purity". You know what I mean. That's why you need to listen to what you need, not what they want.
And you think this process of slow killing does not exist in mature human being sophisticated with all aminities needed for surviving in this cruel world
I've noticed that whenever my broody hens reject a chick (rare, but happens), I'm never able to rehab it. It's like they know this chick won't make it, so why bother wasting energy? And they just move on.

@@LegendaryP-sl7gf it's nature, would you rather have all four chicks starve and not make it to full maturity or kill one and the others live long enough to raise there own chicks
Being someone who lives on a farm, I have found two animals to be especially cruel. Small rodents (particularly hamsters) and large birds (particularly chickens). A rooster and flock pecked many chicks to death. The hamsters regularly ate their pink babies.
Birds and rodents in general are highly cannibalistic and likely to kill their young. It's a disturbing and odd thing to see considering most primates and other mammals would not do this.

@@Shannon- Many species of avians have both parents sharing the sitting duty, not just the female. Cassowaries and ostriches, the father is actually the one who raises the chicks on his own, while the female goes off to mate with more males and create more clutches for them to raise. 👍

It's quite simple: as soon as the parents realize that the available food will not be enough for everyone, they have to reduce the number of broods. many animals do it. Not just storks.

I noticed the outcast stork was making a different noise than the other chicks. Perhaps it is diseased and thats why this happened? Just a thought.
I noticed that too...i wonder why this was not considered
The noise it's making is a distress call meant to alert the parents that it needs help. Notice when it makes the noise the others quiet down? The distress call also tells the siblings danger is near, and they'll be quiet to avoid detection. Parents also make a warning call to alert the babies and quiet them. In this case, the mother is killing her own baby and the young don't really understand what's going on.
She is also hesitating just tossing it from the nest because a still alive baby beneath the nest will alert predators to the nest location.
Two years in a row a steller jay nest formed and has chics in the same spot, and both years the runt was chucked out of the nest and dead within a hour or so right below the nest.
Either that or it's had it's neck crushed, so it sounds different.
You can see it's actually quite a bit smaller than the others. It's most likely the weakest, and least likely to survive. The mother being unable to care for all of them most likely picked that one to toss from the nest
At least I can now understand, from a biological point of view, why my parents didn't like me.

That’s so fuckin funny man, nice one. Just what I was wondering😂😂😂😂😂
Were they that type of birds as well?
This is common among storks, a lot of you may know that parents sometimes kill or discard chicks that are weak or small not to endanger the rest. This chick from what I research was not doing so well but still kept trying to go back to the mom, eventually the researchers found the poor chick dead the next day. Though this is barbaric and look cruel, this is how nature is
Do you think the other young chicks will remember this when they become full grown storks?

Sad but nature so why do we give a 💩
Like what did he do to survive looks like he just died to me
The offspring literally survived for almost half an hour with a broken neck, tough one tbh make me wonder If it really was the weakest or not.
It was the smallest and it might of been a issue with not enough food in the mothers opinion. Kill the "weakest" to save the rest. Rodents do the same, even dogs have been known to do it. Though normally not so brutal. Most of the time they just drop the chick out of the nest.
She could have stabbed him through the neck
Oddly, they don't do this, I've seen them just drop them off the side of the nest but the shaking seems to be the normal way sadly.
@Wheezing - I was thinking the same, if you watch the very beginning of the clip (00:31) it already looks like the chics up front is bruised & flopping his neck all over the place. If you listen to the group you can tell one of them is chirping as if it had an injured neck.... the mother gets confused and grabs the wrong one whom ends up being the little fighting warrior till the very end.
**This was definitely a mistake by mom**
Not everything dies instantly from a broken neck surprisingly. A cat could survive with a broken neck and walk around, but a broken neck will eventually kill any creature, whether it’s sooner or later.
Weird how the others seem to go silent when they hear the other chick being killed.
What can they do? The mother is their only chance of survival.

Luckily, I was nearby and was able to pick up the 5-day-old chick from the nest. I was shocked - what to do with it?
Then he calmed down, read the advice and began to raise him instead of storks. That's how we lived. The storks raised four in the nest, and I raised the fifth on the ground.
I made him a separate nest in the barn. He fed fish, mice and chickens. He grew up strong and even began to fly earlier than his brothers in the nest. But this is a lot of work and it is difficult to do it every year.

Really broke my heart. Nature is brutal, survival of the fittest.
It's not about survive of the fittest! It's about lack of food. Where there is enough food, everyone survives. They do not take notice when a chick is sick. It just dies and is discarded or part of the nest.
@@liznm-natur-channel it definitely is about survival of the fittest. That was the weakest the others were stronger, the fittest survived the weakest didnt.
@@liznm-natur-channel I do not think so. How mother-bird can calculate how much meal she could find??? The whole forest is around them, food is everywhere. I think that she killed the least fitted of child to prevent bad gene propagation in population
@@liznm-natur-channel Birds are insanely smart. The truth is that it probably isn't about food, although birds will abandon chicks, usually the whole nest, if they can't find enough food, and not exactly survival of the fittest either. If you compare the baby being killed to the other three, its not as fluffy, not as big, the beak isn't as yellow. I breed birds, and a mother will either remove a chick from the nest if it isn't well, or just stop feeding it. Sometimes baby birds are born with congenital defects that prevent them from thriving. I've seen parents refuse to sit on a particular baby or refuse to feed it. They may not make a conscious decision to abandon a baby, but their instincts tell them to and they do it.
@@Vadim_Ozheredov most wildlife have very specific foods they eat, an if they are struggling to find that said prey item they will cull the weaker members. It's a pretty common characteristic that even humans have actually practiced historically.

Yep was totally hoping for a drop right at the end...im displeased with no real ending... i mean without a push from nest the little guy totally could have pulled thru this very very scarring moment which builds him up in grand scheme of thing in a sense of personality ya know ... which he will then pass on to his chicks when he has chicks of his own... except he will prevail where his mother has fail. By snapping all the little babies necks instead just out just one. But in doing so he relizes how blind he has been. His mother didnt snap his neck and just treat him like bag pipes out of anger. She did it out of love. as painful as it was, it could have been alot worse" he thinks to himself". And just then his vision blurs and he remebers mother sitting there as she was all those years ago after making a pretzel knot outa his neck. Its not painful this time. He sees things clearly now. So clearly he recalls his whole full life from him wishing pretzeling his kids necks to the bird he made them with and even the first song they kissed to. And then he recalls the most important detail. That all this was just wishful thinking and that he was in reality, taking his last breath. And in that last breath he lived a lifetime...aaaaaannnd then actully for reals dies.

Right, different pressures create different responses according to tools in possession including ourselves given adequate responses. Animals and humans have enhanced relationships derived the ages, companions, devoted pets, beneficial each in bygone era's, since time begun a very long time inset unison a dependency each other. Its my belief we are better the acquaintance with nature herself on all levels, whether distant or closely vicinity all her mysteries. Thru her uniqueness as splendor we can know much more of ourselves.
Gratuitous we, as humans with much more so an opened window of selection(s) in responses opted can negotiate the terms survival in trial and error., allowing for alot of error involved or we should be extinct already. 🤔 The wild arena less forgiving of error narrows results an almost rigid response system we may oft call cruel, it's hard to witness the abrupt displays times, when and where animals set beneath extreme externals, routed down a predetermined pathway followed without remorse. Solely a human attribute is regret. Ruthless or brutal works, as survival we see in acknowledge, however not the only road taken leading beyond the horizon another day lived. My beef isn't with the mother bird, she's still caring for the remaining three, beneath uncertain resources at her disposal, no easy task. Her actions sanctioned by an unseen force we call evolution, for whatever the reasons of pressure exerted supply in demand met or not met, causing an instinctual reflex. Life/death rejection in likeness or similarity when conquering lions kill young from another male or zebra stallions the same distant foals, to bring females into estrus, pass on own genetic material. Harsh reactionary influx such pressures invoked endangering species already hard-pressed habitat loss ect. infringed upon by our species the entire planet. Amidst such havoc of concerns allover an interest, a centralised idea should remain constant our heads intact an awareness all specifics, even minorly counts, if only individuals in concentrate of mindset save in protect, can serve a debt repaid. Perhaps I'm not world scale differences being made, but each of us what allotted together can make sincerely an effort to preserve. We can reduce undue pressure upon species we may very well be responsible institute destruction in many ways unbeknownst, responsible ourselves added pressures. Pollution may of weakened the baby bird's constitution triggering the mother to reject. Possibilities disenfranchisments exist inset our opportunity's advanced disclude other species. Such being the case, I opt to aid and assist, not negligently stand aside and do nothing to help preserve wild species or even domestic that matter.

Perhaps a zoo setting to live out days peaceably, adding to the pleasure of untold others in that atmosphere if yet contained, still wild expression viewed or released back into wild once adult. My view is if narure can afford to lose, spare thru no fault own, as no moral code involved or designated, surely there's no harm or damages done in our gaining any alike this forlorn chick, or other's that matter forsaken, doomed circumstances outside control, to young to attend why not we? I have had the pleasure of renouncing the death sentence, never regretted attempts to save though some unsuccessful. Both species all the happier, in settled another chance more conducive success in survival entire spectrum nature. No, I haven't always saved in won the struggle, but have always tried and that alone suffices my gratefulness shown the gift of nature given myself and others who act on behalf of her in distress.

When the little dude stood up my heart went out to it. Life is so cruel. RIP little one.
I see a lot of comments about people finding this sad or cruel, or about how this is just nature, but I can't help but wonder, because many birds are such dedicated parents, if it's something that's at all difficult for them to do. Sacrificing the weakest one to ensure the survival of the others. She was unable to kill the chick quickly, and the siblings seemed distressed, and calmed when she sat on them (comforting, maybe?), so I really can't help but wonder what these birds must be thinking or going through. To them, it may just be something that had to be done, they can't communicate to us so we'll never know for sure, but I think it's interesting to think about it sometimes. I hope the other chicks thrived thanks to this decision.
I guess the best way to compare this is euthanasia for an animal that you know won't live well, we try our best to make it quick and painless, but for this parent that's not an option, all she has is a beak. She's doing the best she can, as all wild animals always do, please do not hate her.
P.S, before anyone comments about anthropomorphizing, trust me, I know, I'm only pondering possibilities and pointless sentiment on a nest of birds I'll forget in a week. It's just a bird, but curiosity is part of human nature, let me wonder in peace.
Thank you to the uploader for sharing this, it's very interesting!
It could just be the only way the stork can grab it's children, but it also seems like they are purposefully trying to snap it's neck in order to kill it faster, though obviously that task is much harder with a beak, you can't fault it for the attempt at a swift ending. Even if it can only grab by the neck, the fact the mother goes back to attempt to kill the chick multiple times despite it clearly being unable to compete for food I believe shows some compassion, as it could've just let the chick starve to death.
Edit : Also when the stork adult sits down, it seems to face towards or keep the dying chick in eye sight as if to ensure it dies relatively soon.
Well put and thought out. Agreed and enjoy curiosity in peace.
The birds are thinking what’s for dinner
I wonder at which point the parent decided to kill it. Did it happen rather spontaneously or did it observed the situation for a longer time

Does anyone know why they don't just throw it out of the nest
The body will attract predators to the nest.
Makes one wonder why evolution hasn't limited them to three eggs.
If the conditions are good, four, sometimes 5 chicks are raised.
Who is evoluution?

@Mookie Spindlehurst You are scientifically illiterate.
Why leave a dislike if u don't like this kind of stuff and click on it? I mean wish it wouldn't happen but that's life
Not sure anybody "likes" this stuff. I have a morbid curiosity
Lol I get what ur saying but all am saying is they got the warning but I guess they don't care
Johnathan. Aviles people leave a dislike for bad reasons. The only reason there should be a dislike is if you didn’t get what the video title said.
@@heartless_raven i get what he meant. I was just being picky about his word choice.
The dislike button is there for if you dislike somthing. People didn't like this. Regardless of why, they're using the button appropriately
I think it’s crazy that parents in the animal kingdom do this in general, not because it’s barbaric but because they have a sense of when it’s necessary and how to do it
Humans done it for centuries. First born children always were sacrificed because they were the weakest (mother was typically too young to give birth)
@@DroisKargvaI should like the reference to any time or culture where first borns were typically sacrificed. It was never the case anywhere at any time .
@@beeharbourpeople give up/away their children when they have too many and cannot afford it. This is still happening today. Teen mums/poor families etc.
@bigsmall246 Yes, they do. This is not quite the same as sacrificing firstborns as a matter of course.
They are inferior to humans, so not suprising.
According to What I read, the mother doesn't just push the chick off the nest because She Can't leave it to rot and attract other predators with the stink, so putting the whole family at risk. I think She'll even eat it for that reason once the chick dies.
I know this is just a video about natural selection but I still feel sad
Its not natural selection its survival of the fittest.
Not sure if that was a strong one or if the mom just did not know how to kill it
She’s trying to do the little twisty neck snap thingy
@@chaseireland1297 you mean break his neck? Yeah
Thank you for telling us that. Your comment was necessary.
She will do better next time...
It's a papa bird, read the description pp.
Interesting how the 3 remaining siblings all cuddle and hold each other as their mom tries again and again to brutually snap their brother/sister's neck.
Humans do this too when they have abortions, especially graphic with late term abortions
Agreed! Animals don't get the option to KILL their unborn offsprings, they have to do it when they are born. This is the circle of life.
Kinda surprised the parent didnt just toss the baby out of the nest, looks like they are in trees so that would have gotten rid of it quicker
The Babys can eat it
I still dont understand how she even killed it
@@LegendaryP-sl7gf it's nature, would you rather have all four chicks starve and not make it to full maturity or kill one and the others live long enough to raise there own chicks
@@LegendaryP-sl7gf i think I saw some blood, but probably broke it's neck / strangle / blood loss
@@gecko2993 I think they mean how technically, not morally lmao
The suffering that little one had to go through. I’m familiar why and I’ve seen the studies on these situations.. breaks your heart man
Save ur sympathy. It’s better than all dying slowly of starvation.
I’m just here to read the comments of people whining about nature and whining that humans are horrible for watching nature.
Echelon same
Me too
Echelon humans are not horrible for watching nature
Arrow I agree 🤷🏻♂️
I just enjoy watching the nature of people whining about it being unfair more. It’s very much like going to a zoo
Same here
Being someone who lives on a farm, I have found two animals to be especially cruel. Small rodents (particularly hamsters) and large birds (particularly chickens).
A rooster and flock pecked many chicks to death.
The hamsters regularly ate their pink babies.
Birds and rodents in general are highly cannibalistic and likely to kill their young. It's a disturbing and odd thing to see considering most primates and other mammals would not do this.
Seems like it would be more efficient just to drop it off the edge of the nest and forget about it.
Puts other chicks at risk becuase it attracts predators
Ok, ZPundit, make a video message; I'll deliver it to the stork.
@@ghoststorm777 its not a stork but ok
@@marvinmcintosh3555 it is a stork but ok
Ok! Ok!
I knew this was going to be upsetting before I decided to click it. 😢 Reading the description was such a great learning experience. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Same here!
And apparently birds are free. This is one of the saddest things I've seen
Not in the parents' nest they're not!
They are definitely free, that bird was probably the weakest and the parent couldnt support all of them so it had to kill the weak one
One thing for certain is that baby bird went out a warrior 3 times it got up after being ragdolled by its mother/father thats some strength
Saddest part is when she sits on her babies and the other is calling for her.. oof
Birds gotta do what birds gotta do
@@nishantpinky8108 around 6:40
Can anyone tell is why she did that. I would have taken it
Child: Where do babies come from?
Parent: why, storks of course darling! They are nature's nurse. Stork: 8:09
Nature’s brains
This makes me cry as a person who loves birds.
If you really love them, then you also understand what they have to do. Whether we like it or not. Love has no conditions.
Смотреть как он из последних сил ползет к родителю, а тот его дальше мучит было довольно неприятно
Not me watching this thinking it be easier to just throw him over 😳🥺
Not me either
The kids will feed on the dead body . Every food counts
It would’ve brought predators to their home
It's a girl not a boy?
@@lorenafitnessblogs9418 is that a question or statement ?
My guess is she must of done this either because there was not enough food or as you noticed it was getting hard for her to cover so many babies. Sad part of the natural world . Little chick was a fighter to the very end .
It's the papa bird doing the killing, read the description.
@@inkbold8511 “ KATI DOES WHAT SHE HAS TO DO TO RAISE AT LEAST THREE CHICKS .UNFORTUNATELY “SHE” DOES IT IN A WAY THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR US HUMANS “ . This is part of the description of the video . For you I really suggest before you call anyone out on social media you make 100 % you know the facts first as I did when I responded.
Sad reality is it is not uncommon for the last born or the smaller baby of any bird species to be killed off by either its parent or siblings. I have even watched a video of stork parents who flung their entire nest of three storklets over the edge of the nest because they where born to late in the season and it was almost time to migrate and the storklets where no where near being able to fledge for at least another two or maybe three weeks .But food shortages will also cause wildlife to kill their own young better then the young starving to death . This is nature .
If you are the poster of this video I would still suggest perhaps engaging with people who you think have miss understanding of the video .
@@inkbold8511 where does it say that? It says Kati and she? The papa birds dont sit on the babies only the mothers have that instinct. Read the description again?
@@Shannon- Many species of avians have both parents sharing the sitting duty, not just the female. Cassowaries and ostriches, the father is actually the one who raises the chicks on his own, while the female goes off to mate with more males and create more clutches for them to raise. 👍
@@bnewtz7492 well the producer of this video records them and names them. It says Kati the mother is the one doing the killing. I havent seen any males sit on the eggs or babies. I read that they didnt have the instinct to do that? Different with different breeds? But this is the mother in this video.
"Its just a flesh wound" got a new meaning, he was such a fighter😔
Yes, after so much touring he didn't give up and fight. He wasn't that weak.
Are you assuming its gender?! How dare you!! Lol jkjk
@lmnop otay nah
what's happening can anyone explain? yeah I am dumb enough to not understand but not getting why it was getting beaten up.
It's quite simple: as soon as the parents realize that the available food will not be enough for everyone, they have to reduce the number of broods. many animals do it. Not just storks.
