@@amitm1157 Love isn't 'cultural' Other mammals experience love too. Birds are technically reptiles though, so maybe in reptile kingdom it's slightly different. But i still believe birds can feel love
@TheDeleted117 If your explanation is correct, the stork killed the small/weak chick to do it some benefit because it would be unfit to live. All for love ofcourse.
Spoiler alert: After thinning out the smallest one, two got sick and died. Father abandoned the nest. Mother could not get enough food. Rescuer helped feed last two.
A few years back I went to Kidwell Farm in Herndon, VA. One of the Sows had a litter of about 8 piglets. There was indeed a runt! He was less than half the size of his litter mates. What surprised me was how gentle & affectionate the other piglets were! They never bullied him or kept him from nursing! One of his siblings actually took a break from nursing to nuzzle and give him some love! Damnest thing I've ever seen!
Jesus Christ. When my mum didn't want me at 18 months & never came back at least she walked away & left me in the house alone until my dad come home from work 2 hours later & she never ate me. I count myself lucky now.
For the same reason cheetah's eat their dead young. If she had thrown the carcass overboard, predators finding it on the ground would know where the food was.

all chiks become aware of what their mom is going to do but not sure who amoung themselves so they tried to huddle tight together,what a traumatise moment.
Storks take off on a long migration after the chicks mature. They fly down south thousands of miles. In order to make the trip successfully the chicks must grow to proper, adult size. They do that in the nest. These birds have it locked in their DNA to weed out their flock and remove the weak chicks in the nest. Weak may mean small or other reasons. Another thing the adults deal with is food supply. DNA works again and regulates how much food to get for the chicks. They watch the chicks eat very carefully. You have to remember they're doing this fueled only by their DNA and experience which varies greatly among them. In their world everything is food. Your brother is food. So is everything you can cram in your mouth. The other animals around you think you're their food. And so on.
Yeah, they really went quiet. But hopefully they saw the difficulty that the mother had to swallow the small one, so just because of their sizes they might be safe... 😋
@@sanderbos The parents will reject the next smaller chick, usually they are simply tossed to the side if they can't eat. But one thing, the siblings will probably eat some of the flesh of their sibling when the parent regurgitate to feed the chicks.
Oh really? Did u watch them over for next couple of days so she didn’t eat away each one of them? Don’t try to provide an explanation just by seeing one video. She was hungry and not necessarily doing any good to other chicks. Could be just pure self interest

"My sweet child, I really do like you!", eh? Siblings, for some unknown reasons, became very quiet. Seems like they took their first lesson on "How Not to be Seen" ...
It is coomon in storks - they usually lay 5 eggs thel after some 3 weeks sort the smallest, weakest one out and ... remove, push out from the nest. Always. And the smallest, weakest one is so b/c usaully it is the last that hatched and the older ones push it away from feeding. The strongest = the healthiest and well fed. The poor last one is "a spare" only to survie in case something happened to another chick. Similar for eagles : 1-3 eaglets and the oldest is the most aggresive so the best fed so the strongest, the oldest boinks the other one hard from the day one, if there are 3 eaglets it happens the youngest is killed off by the oldest. I also saw a stork (and also an eagle) to invade another stork's nest (for an eagle it'd be another eagle's nest) while unguarded and take a little one of the same kind to feed his own youngs.
@@angelicap2736 @Angelica P Seems like you ignore some facts about eagles. When there is a prolonged lack of foods in eagle's nest (which Margot somehow did not state), then siblicide does happen (as it did at Dale Hollow's 3-eaglet nest; DH16 died this season), otherwise it is just "normal" bonking. Ironically siblicide did happen at GROWLS 2-eaglet nest prior to Malala's arrival; Junior did kill its sibling when there was a lack of foods.
The human is way different than the animal about caring the little kids. To the people whoever has been hating your parents, watching this and thinking about how much yours parents love you.
Is this common in storks? Saw another nest and the mom did the same thing... I do know in Barn owls that sometimes in a large clutch the last to hatch may end up as food for the others....survival of the fitest... some die so others survive. Also, gene pool strength ...never pleasant to see ever.
@@stellviahohenheim TV stations and people on TV don't tell us about a lot of things. They alter news, every day, by leaving out facts or over emphasizing other facts to fit their political needs. It's dishonest, manipulative, disgusting, divisive, disgraceful, and, wrong!
The little one wasn't sick, it was hatched late probably. The mother must have been starving and had to strengthen herself to perform all the duties of feeding, guarding and warming the chicks. She must've been desperate.
this is an older video, the chicks have been removed from the nest, because there are so few and they are trying to repopulate them. When the rescue occurred, one of the 4 remaining chicks was all ready dead, so they removed the last 3 and are working to save them
Thanks Lynn.. Everyone needs to know there was an intervention here. Storks are "endangered" right now. Im sure this is a good mom.. She just didn't know what to do with decreasing amounts of food ☹️
The update here is the male stork disappeared and the female tried to feed the little ones. But having to juggle guarding the nest and getting food for the chicks, the female leaves for longer and longer periods of time where even food intervention from humans wasn't enough. Eventually, the 4th one starved to death while the 3 others were taken by humans. I believe the mother has not returned either
The 3 remaining chicks are in veterinary care in a special arrangement mimicking a nest, and are being fed using a stork-looking funnel tube arrangement. The idea is to minimize human contact as much as possible so they can ultimately be returned to the wild. They are eating very well and growing nicely.
I wonder what triggers the parents to reject the smallest chick... Is it the smaller size that differentiate it from the other chicks? The parent no longer see it as one of its chick, but an intruder & prey item to eat. The parent will most likely feed the rest of the chicks with their sibling's broken down body.
She said to the smallest chick: "You are not big enough to deserve my love. However, I give you another chance. Go back to my body and come bigger next time"
My question is, what is the mother doing to find the weakest chick? How does she know? Im wondering if the process involves what we see here. It seems she is pecking around at her offspring testing their feathers? Or testing their head strength? I see when she does it to the smallest one, it has trouble resisting the test. Its head wobbles much more and it all around seems more disoriented. So maybe that is how she gauges which one is the weakest? Very interesting to see millions of years of evolutionary instinct in action.
Asking Chatgpt can help you. Female birds need to focus on the other offsprings but not the smaller one. The bigger Chicks are Stronger while the small chick is weak. Some female birds will yeet it out of the nest with out it being eaten. Some female birds will eat it alive. Hope you guys finally know!
Not at all. She was a good mother. Desperate. Starving. She did this to have energy to fly and try to save the other ones that was healthier and had bigger chance to live. Do you think any mother would like to do this? Of course not. All species try to make most of their offspring survive. I think humans are one of the few animals who actively can kill their offspring
saw another fierce smallest kicked out; that chick appeared very aggressive, perhaps a different strategy to demonstrate vigor; but nat, mama sees it all
She has a lot of storklings. More than I think I’ve seen. Must’ve been a good year. I normals see storks with 2-4. Either the chick was not growing right, or food must’ve started to get short.
@@Starry2000 yup. I just found further information that the father left. So it was definitely too stressful for the mother. The rest of the kids were abandoned and rescued and the mother still hasn’t returned to the nest.
She wasn’t messing around with killing that poor little guy! At least she didn’t prolong it like some videos I’ve seen. One bashed a chick for around 45 minutes and you couldn’t really tell what it was at the end
Brought back memories of the Boy Scout Jamboree in 1978; we ate one of the other scouts who was acting like a jerk. I sold his merit badges on the black market.
They never tend to thow them out of the nest , coz it is an instinct that this is part of thier belongings and no other should benefit from its being dead

Mom plans to stay with chicks for extended time for protection but needs a good lunch. Survival of the fittest/natural selection marked the smallest chick as the best lunch to save others.
Storks are the cruelest creatures, but they do it for reasons that we don’t understand. To them, it’s culling the herd - she knows the little one won’t survive so she takes care of it. But they’re still not favorite bird.
Reasons we don’t understand? You just explained it so for sure we understand it. Humans also did it in the past when food was sparse. It’s a natural thing in survival instinct.
What? You must have watched a different video or you’re a bot. Bots always make stupid generalizations and in this case, where the mom is killing and eating the smallest stock your sappy comments about how great stork moms are is particularly funny. Good job bot! 😂😹☠️
The parent stork is managing food demands based on chick needs and availability in terms of distance and time. The decision to reduce her clutch by one by killing and eating the smallest is a dispassionate calculation to recycle calories, while avoiding attracting predators towards the nest by merely dropping its corpse off the nest edge.
It's unfortunate, but not uncommon to thin the brood by elimination of the least likely to survive. Especially when a large clutch survives the odds to hatch. It's an extreme burden to Mom to maintain. As they grow it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with their dietary needs. It's too much for her to stay healthy herself and keep them all fed too. Once she becomes exhausted, the entire brood is at stake. It's usually a result of food scarcity, or more rarely because a parent is killed. In the latter case it's far too difficult to feed, guard, and brood that many chicks without a partner. It simply becomes unmanageable. Sometimes the surviving parent fully abandons the nest to death. Other times they'll make a calculated decision to thin the brood, like so, in an attempt to increase the odds. She can't just throw the baby from the nest. It'll attract predators to the nesting site. The only logical, safe thing she could do is to clean it up herself. Bonus protein and energy she's very likely needing too. Waste not want not. Nature isn't always butterflies and rainbows. It's also death, destruction, and difficult choices for survival. There's beauty in the horror. That's wildlife for ya. There's no moral conscience or social implications, it's all survival and odds. When the odds don't add up, mom or dad does some subtraction. It's purely logical and ensures the best chance of survival for the rest. The elimination of wasted resources on a runt that's unlikely to survive by design is a shrewd, but necessary decision by mom. Last to hatch is the first to go, typically. Through no fault of it's own. It's a spare part in the family machine. Once the extra chick becomes a burden, it's gone. This stork must've been under intense pressure to feed these chicks if she culled the runt. That's the saddest part. The pressures of Parenthood are felt throughout all species in different ways.

Balki Bai mat daliye neh mati conset stork sim na pati.
This is heart breaking
It’s a natural selection. It’s normal.
At least this one did it quick; the other one took a few days to kill it. Nature is very sad sometimes.
"Hmmm.. It tastes like chicken..."
Quelle cruauté !
The mother black stork protects from any disturbance from predators and feeds her hungry cubs
What? You must have watched a different video or you’re a bot. Bots always make stupid generalizations and in this case, where the mom is killing and eating the smallest stock your sappy comments about how great stork moms are is particularly funny. Good job bot! 😂😹☠️
The parent stork is managing food demands based on chick needs and availability in terms of distance and time. The decision to reduce her clutch by one by killing and eating the smallest is a dispassionate calculation to recycle calories, while avoiding attracting predators towards the nest by merely dropping its corpse off the nest edge.
It's unfortunate, but not uncommon to thin the brood by elimination of the least likely to survive. Especially when a large clutch survives the odds to hatch. It's an extreme burden to Mom to maintain. As they grow it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with their dietary needs. It's too much for her to stay healthy herself and keep them all fed too. Once she becomes exhausted, the entire brood is at stake. It's usually a result of food scarcity, or more rarely because a parent is killed. In the latter case it's far too difficult to feed, guard, and brood that many chicks without a partner. It simply becomes unmanageable. Sometimes the surviving parent fully abandons the nest to death. Other times they'll make a calculated decision to thin the brood, like so, in an attempt to increase the odds. She can't just throw the baby from the nest. It'll attract predators to the nesting site. The only logical, safe thing she could do is to clean it up herself. Bonus protein and energy she's very likely needing too.
Waste not want not.
Nature isn't always butterflies and rainbows. It's also death, destruction, and difficult choices for survival. There's beauty in the horror. That's wildlife for ya. There's no moral conscience or social implications, it's all survival and odds. When the odds don't add up, mom or dad does some subtraction. It's purely logical and ensures the best chance of survival for the rest. The elimination of wasted resources on a runt that's unlikely to survive by design is a shrewd, but necessary decision by mom. Last to hatch is the first to go, typically. Through no fault of it's own. It's a spare part in the family machine. Once the extra chick becomes a burden, it's gone. This stork must've been under intense pressure to feed these chicks if she culled the runt. That's the saddest part. The pressures of Parenthood are felt throughout all species in different ways.
Как бы то не было, но это жестоко и смотреть на это больно. Сейчас также Россия убивает граждан Украины, потому что считает, что мы живем на их территории. Это тоже естественный отбор?.
@@user-ob5gh9gr7yit’s not cruel it’s just survival.
No that is different. As neither of countries is in any starving situation before. Humans are the only animal killing for long term planning of survival. Animals usually only try to survive in the moment.
Did that stork actually eat the chic? If so, it's a genocide bird. 😢😢
Nice 👍🤝🤝
The great circle of life continues.
Did the stork just sneeze
OMG, animals are so pure and innocent. There is nothing more beautiful than motherly love. That cute little chick has learned a valuable life lesson!
