A rabbit placed her nest in my front yard so I put a trail camera over it to watch it. Crows discovered the nest and tried to take one of the babies and the mother tried to defend her babies from them
Wow this video really shows the intelligence of crows. Pay attention at 6:10, one crow intentionally distracts the rabbit while the other goes in for the food.
Crows are a predator and are very intelligent. You can bet it did not forget where that rabbit nest was. They will eat a whole nest of baby birds also.
@Praetor Xernex The vast majority of information on crows will certainly disagree with you about crows not being predators. An animal does not have to actively hunt prey to be a predator.
The crow will absolutely remember where the nest is along with the squirrel. The squirrel is looking for where the baby ran out of. Also if you notice it’s more than one crow attacking the nest. The mother rabbit going to the nest during the day is extremely unusual because of this reason. The mother rabbit will typically only go to the nest once or twice a day and only when it’s dark out, this is to prevent predators from figuring out where the nest is. That is what got the nest discovered.
@@shannonspage9360 Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see any indication from this video that the mother was actually on the nest prior to the attack. The mother will typically remain within sight or earshot of her nest. It seems to me that the babies were just at that age where they're starting to roam bit by bit, no longer staying concealed under the cover of the nest throughout their day, and it's because of this that initial crow was able to spot their movement.
When the mom is panning around and noticed all the crows (I think there were 4 total walking around the nest,) for a split second, she looks directly at the camera with an, "Aw crap........I'm screwed.." look on her face.
@@user-lr8ow2jg4e that's right. Those animals are like programmed by nature robots. "Feelings" or whatever is just to when convenient. Specially to survive and make the specie survive too. They just execute the commands they should do to reach those objectives. Some species are more out of this, being humans on top of that list. Although, not far enough.
People are pretty optimistic to think only one baby was taken. By the end of the video they are all off camera for a couple minutes and the crows are gone with the mom running large circles to chase crows. Every baby is crow food.
Nature us indeed interesting. At first I wondered why the doe built her borough out in the open field like that then realized that he crows were probably nesting in the nearby trees. Secondly, the fact that the die fed her babies when it became apparent that an attack was ensuing. She was not only making her presence known but also given them food to flee. Amazing really... love rabbits and nature.
Crows and there larger cousins Ravens are by far more then mere scavengers. They are every bit as much a predator just like Birds of Prey are. Where they lack the talons a Bird of Prey possesses. They make up for in sheer beak power and typically one well placed "death blow" is all it usually takes to kill there prey.
Alright.. when the 4th crow came into frame i laughed pretty hard. I mean this is literally like a gang jumping. 😂 but also i hate that its the poor momma bunny and her kids 😢
Looks like a young crow still a bit downy ,the white patches on its feathers are probably from poor nutrition during its early growth stage ,if it eats well when it moults it will get nice healthy feathers.
I seen a scuffle with several smaller birds & a crow so I stopped my car to see what was going on & a crow was picking on a baby bunny while the other birds were having a fit. I tried to stop it & the crow grabbed the baby bunny & flew off with it, really upset me. Was a tiny bunny maybe only 1-5 days old. Crows will also eat smaller birds.
I don't know why the babies come out when the birds are around? In my yard, as soon as the mother leaves the babies come out. And get gobbled one by one by foxes, racoons, and birds.
You must have some strange Rabbits in your part of the world all of the Rabbits that I have ever come across live in burrows underground and at the first sight of danger they dash back to there burrow where they are safe from most things you do not get many crows going down burrows.
Everyone is saying that this is very interesting to watch, but I'm actually heartbroken seeing that it's just so hard for rabbits to live in this world of prey and predator. Also, there were no rabbits taken completely. The first one taken was able to escape, but I don't know which one it was that returned to nest. The crows definitely almost had a grip on the kits, but I'm glad that rabbits in general are so agile and swift so they can escape their predator. I hope that the mother rabbit hides them somewhere safer. It made me sad seeing how anxious she was to protect her kits, and it also made me sad seeing how the kits had to defend themselves from those crows :(
Rabbits are dumb and rather pathetic. They make their nests right out in the open where anything and everything can stumble across it, including humans and lawnmowers. A lot of the time most of the litter doesn’t survive to breed themselves, and there’s not a lot the mother can, or will, do to keep predators away. Rabbits’ only survival mechanism is that they’re prolific breeders. There’s a reason the saying “fuck like rabbits” exists. Tl;dr: Almost certainly no, but the mother- and however many babies did/do survive- will make lots more.
beautiful and also educating movie. the first "rabbit" that I could see at your movie, at time 01:58, is not a rabbit, but that was a squirrel (the difference with a rabbit is the long tail of the squirrel). I think, but I'm not 100 % sure as I am not a specialist in the behaviour of little wild annimals, but I think this squirrel was also trying to steal one of the baby-rabbits with the intention to use it as feed for the squirrels' own baby-squirrels ....... thank you for sharing this real-life-experience. Life, and in special, the survive of wild annimals can be cruel, but they only kill for their own baby-annimals, opposite the way how human is killing annimals for our livelihood, is sadly al lot more gruesome and wasteful. I hope the baby-bunnies in your movie are has quickly running-back to their real nest and several of them could healthly survived. I can not believe, this place, in the middle of the grass lawn, was their original nest ....... I suppose mother-rabbit took her babies out for a walk, for one of the first discoveries of the big unknown world, and that mostly and often happen, for all kind of annimals, with nice and with less-nice experiences, where you made a very nice movie about it. I will look further on the internet for the squirrel ....... I like to find out it is usual possibly a squirrel-mother catch and steal also baby-rabbits to feed her babay-squirrels .......
Yes, it that was a squirrel, and yes squirrels do eat baby rabbits when they can. I'm sure that little stinker was trying to do just that, but just wasn't as smart as the crows. Hope the crows ate the squirrel instead.
It is sad to see this but it is the circle of life, rabbit mothers are awful and abandon their young instantly on birth only visiting a few times a day to ensure they are alive before leaving again. Nature gave these crows the opportunity and they took it, crows are very smart, very cool looking and very much a predatory bird
They are not awful. They have to leave them. If they do not they are just going to attract attention. This one does a admirable job defending, but these are just birds. The best defense the little bunnies have is not being seen.
Shame we didn't get to see the crow eat it. Rabbits a pellet fodder along with grey squirrels and rats, I'd have shot the adult rabbit, then sat back and watched the feast. If the crow didn't get one that squirrel definitely will.
idk. Why interfere with nature? When we put bias and lack of beauty in an animal over another we are prone to thinking "Yeah they should have just eaten the rabbit". Crows need to eat to survive, but the rabbits also value life so they will try not to get eaten to survive.

Placing a nest in the middle of a lawn right in plain sight seems like a dumb idea... but go on with how smart animals are.
This is common for rabbits
They do it because open spaces make predators cautious of attention and other predators
Rabbits aren't very smart compared to most animals
Rabbits aren’t smart idk why people keep saying that they’re smart lmao
Wild Rabbits aren't particularly smart. But it doesn't mean they aren't in general.

Looks like a young crow still a bit downy ,the white patches on its feathers are probably from poor nutrition during its early growth stage ,if it eats well when it moults it will get nice healthy feathers.
Interesting, thanks! I'll rewatch and keep these points in mind
I am thinking the opposite, seems to be an older individual that’s been around the block many many times
1:58 there's a Squirrel
Crows are so ghetto!
Lesssgoooo!!! Boys tag team!! My brother brought the whole squad!!
Bunnies are stupid beyond belief. Instead running into the safety of their den, they run OUTSIDE of it. Not even basic animal instinct.
It's not a den. The hole is only about 3" deep and 4" around so they are trapped and vulnerable if they remain inside
I seen a scuffle with several smaller birds & a crow so I stopped my car to see what was going on & a crow was picking on a baby bunny while the other birds were having a fit. I tried to stop it & the crow grabbed the baby bunny & flew off with it, really upset me. Was a tiny bunny maybe only 1-5 days old.
Crows will also eat smaller birds.
Is there an update, of what happened with this litter? Did any/all of them survive?
I believe they did because within days of that I saw 3 young ones in my yard
Angered the crow mafia. This was personal
The baby bunny that got captured by the crow: HELP ME
God may help you, you poor thing
Did the crows get any of them? Got the rabbit nest last year crows took all 5 bunnies.
No, I don't think they did
What's the squirrel trying to do? Don't tell me it's another predator of the poor rabbits. 1:57
He snitched on the bunnies and alerted the crow mafia to their location
This video needs that Benny Hill toon
*tune
Wow that is a great capture
Thank you!
Did the babies live? I saw them run from the nest and they never reappeared.
