When the crow attacks. 1:48. Mother goose: "Give me back my kid!" Crow fly 5 meters away with the gosling. Mother goose: "Ah screw it, that's too far. You can have him."
Geese (and also ducks and swans) lay many eggs for this very reason: they count on the number so that at least a small part of the chicks can reach adulthood. The single chick is expendable, if saving it requires too much effort or endangers the other chicks (which would be left unprotected and exposed to other predators).
Think about it. Those baby geese would have lived a better life on a farm, being raised for slaughter. At least they would have lived to adulthood. Nature isn't a Disney movie, it's a horror movie.
@@Ascend777 people go vegan not because eating animals is wrong but to stop factories from making animals suffer till they get slaughter by the shitty enviroment they offer them.this video isnt offensive and everyone could be sad watching this.However its how life works
That's nonsense. In the meat industry, geese are killed at 10 weeks old. They are juveniles, similar to 2 or 3 year old humans. Female geese start laying at 2 years of age on average. When animals are farmed for meat, they are usually killed as either juveniles or adolescents. They only live to adulthood if they are used for breeding. And even then, they get killed when they are too old (not necessarily sterile, but old enough to hurt their reproductive success). And even if the farm was a better living condition than the wild, that does make it OK. Imagine if people captured humans and bred them as slaves, and the slaves had a better life than many humans as they were fed properly and didn't have to worry about money, education or work. And most of them were desexed, reducing their sexual/romantic desires significantly so they didn't have to worry about that, and were happy being virgins and single. They never had to die slow, painful deaths because they would be euthanised if they were severely ill, whether they liked it or not. And they were lead to believe that their owners were good and weren't exploiting them, so that they would not rebel or suffer. They didn't feel like they weren't free, for they were free range. What happens to animals in the wild doesn't justify keeping them in capitivity. Even if they have a better life in capitivity, because domesticated animals are bred, not taken from the wild. And animals taken from the wild have a worse life in capitivity. And breeding animals in capitivity is really bad for the environment and wildlife. Another thing is that the geese in the video are Canada geese (Branta canadensis). Domestic geese are Anser anser domesticus, with a few breeds being Anser cygnoides domesticus instead. So perhaps I should have compared the lives of the slaves to chimpanzees rather than other humans. If wild animals were farmed for meat, their meat would probably taste gamey, as livestock have been domesticated for meat.
You can't be fr? Are you actually saying domestic life is better for wild animals?There are a bunch of reasons wild life is way better but i will name one.If every animal born in this world didn't die. every species would be like us humans.Over populated and the imbalance would be MUCH bigger
I've seen herons killed and eaten by eagles and heron nestlings taken away by hawks and owls. It's a dog-eat-dog etc... There are videos on YT showing gulls swallowing rabbits so I wasn't therefore too surprised that one could swallow a gosling. I was surprised a little, however, by the way the crow held the gosling with one foot and then started plucking it like a true raptor.
Crows will often use their feet to hold food items in place so it’s easier to peck at/pluck. However they do not carry things with their feet as I see in lots of media. Often times I’ll see crows carrying things with their feet when shown in most media. However crows do not do this and usually carry things in their beak not with their legs while flying
Good. Canadian Geese need some form of crowd control. "A local Canada goose suddenly realized Wednesday that it doesn’t have to honk like an idiot the entire time it’s flapping its wings. The goose was also startled by the realization that it didn’t have to veer dangerously close to an oncoming jet engine every single time it took to the sky." - The Onion
I wonder if these were first time parents. They seem pretty lost at how to keep their chicks together and safe. That said, I'm sure that swan could've put a whooping on both of them easily, so perhaps they were wise to stay out of its way...
Swans are bullies. There are other videos of them really hurting the geese and young. Also other Swans pick on weaker swans. I thought they were peaceful birds.
@@Danny-mg1huSwans are what geese think they are. Geese are bullies with very little bite for their bark. Swans are actually big enough to at least somewhat back up their threats.
I absolutely love Canada Geese their was always a mated pair that always laid their eggs at the back of my school on a little island we had at the back and it was fenced in. That's how i started to love Canada Geese
You’ve clearly had very limited exposure to them. I’ve worked a lot of landscaping jobs and run into major flocks often. These geese go out of their way to exterminate the young of any birds that live in the area. They will chase these birds down, even when they are keeping well away from the geese, and systematically kill every duckling they see, usually by grabbing them and slamming them around or otherwise brutalizing them. As a result, I have no sympathy anymore for geese and strongly feel that turnabout is fair play.
Nature isn't nice, nature just is. And when Canada geese get to spawning a bit too prolifically, predatory birds will step it up and make sure the numbers don't get out of control. It's interesting to see the differences in behavior like the OP notices: herons stalk in and grab what it looks like is theirs by right, crows dart in, grab and fly away fast like they are stealing something. And the seagull? Now that's a Chad. Makes a snatch and misses, so comes back and grabs a chick half it's size, and proceeds to swallow it down whole all casual-like.
This is not nature. It's a park with too many birds in too little space. And no way for the baby's to get on dry land. That's why they got seperated from their parents.
@@dazediss6629 Already had my kids, thanks. Not only that, the way humans mate has absolutely nothing to do with how birds mate and only an idiot would compare them directly.

That's what happen when we build artificial environnement that ''invites'' species from other natural habitats. At least it involved natives species. Introduced mute swans have been fucking up North America's lakes and ponds for a while. There have been eradication attempts in Ontario since they outcompete native ducks.
Hopefully this time the geese learn from their mistakes and actually guide their goslings to a safe spot when they are chased by the swans instead of just panicking and flying away leaving the goslings in open water where they are vulnerable
It's difficult for the geese to protect their young. On land, crows, magpies and herons are all looking for an opportunity to snatch a gosling. In water, the sea gulls are always hovering above looking for an opportunity to swoop down and snatch one.
@@WaterisjustWet The heron, crow and seagull would still have eaten those chicks anyway. In fact the people throwing the bread crumbs gave a little more time for the geese to react.
@@cognitivedissident2881 No, they are distracting them with unhealthy food. If people were not feeding them, they would be somewhere in nature with more possibilities to hide.
Yeah this mute swan cob is pretty mean. he has bit me in the face once which was nice....not, he only tolerates your existence if you bring food. i go to this park a few times per week and its either serene or utter chaos. on the other hand the pen is very sweet, and so were the Cygnets from last year (who unfortunately we lost during winter to bird flu apparently :( should be a new brood soon though) and the geese are pretty entertaining to interact with, although some sacrificial seeds or veggies are a requirement. but yeah this cob is very aggressive to the goslings, he will chase them all the time when they are young. all birds are cool though. and nice video!
The main problem for the geese is the swan, he won't allow them to raise their young in this lake. He constantly attacks the geese whenever he sees them with their young. If the swan wasn't there, the geese wouldn't be separated from their goslings and would be in a far better position to protect them against the predatory birds.
not just canadian goslings . I am surpised there are any ducks left . Gulls ,and crows do not have the fear of predation anymore. the odd Sparrow hawk will take one but Goshawks and eagle owls need to be re introduced to take out these merciless killers As for Heron they will kill anything.
The video here I think is an extreme case. The combination of inexperienced goose parents, and a territoriality aggressive mute swan provided this opportunity. Experienced goose parents not only protect most, if not all their goslings, the most successful ones even adopt(sometimes forcefully) other goslings and form gang broods. The window for eating goslings is pretty small as well. They practically double in size in less then two weeks.
That’s all it is though, reputation. They are all bark and no bite. Most animals larger than them, humans included, can pretty much instantly rag doll a goose if they decide they’re not going to be intimidated. As more people are starting to say, swans are what geese think they are, so it was pretty interesting to see a swan tormenting adults and picking off goslings.
Life isn't a Disney movie things have to die its only natural. On that point natural vs nature, were one of those words defined by the other? Hmmm. We can't save every life on this planet everything is finite. Being the smartest being on this planet humanity either can't understand that or just won't. Ignorance is bliss until everything goes to shit.
So sad!!!😱💔😖. THESE Goose Parents did not their job,there are better ones by far able to protect their goslings successfully and safe... I'm very angry and sad for I couldn't help and rescue these cute goslings...😠😖...
Whenever the swan sees Canada geese with goslings in the water, it chases the parent geese out of the water. It doesn't allow the parents to be in the water with their goslings. This leaves the goslings alone and they are easily picked up by the sea gulls, crows and herons. Goslings have no chance of survival in this water with this swan on the lake.

This perfectly explains why geese are such protective parents. Literally every other animal sees their babies and thinks “damn, that looks delicious.”

Same with ducks, they go raging if you get close to their babies.

Plot twist: the swan separates goslings from parents gets a commission for each kill.
