ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Mother kestrel returns
The adult female returns with food for her chicks to find a new chick is in the nest and there is chaos as the foundling chick immediately snatches the meal she has caught for her own young from her! Watch this mother's reaction! Instead of becoming aggressive, as you might expect, she seems to circle the new chick as if trying to work out what on earth this is.
Feeding time
Then she spends some time trying to get the food back from this hungry chick. Once she has it she continues to carefully break pieces off for her own young, meanwhile the foster chick tears off chunks from the kill and eventually the elder of the adult kestrel's natural chicks piles in and also begins to feed for itself- leaving mother kestrel to feed the youngest one. Incredible!

That relative that drops in unannounced and immediately goes to the fridge
And then they try to take the leftovers from lunch home too 😬😡
I've been watching an american kestral cam this year and i've observed this behavior in those chicks as well (no foundlings, all parent's chicks). At a certain age/size some of them will just grab the whole catch from the mother as she returns to the box to feed them and they run around the box with it trying to feed themselves, the female patiently waits calmly and coolly and eventually regains control of the meal to parcel out to all her chicks equally.
The third chick: why the hell I am being starved 😂😂😂
The kid's like "I want food so I must scream!"

Chick #3 was smartly just chilling outside avoiding the domestic mayhem
LOL Great comment and observation
Thanks for sharing
God Bless
Others : have meeting
Egg : just chilling
Closed mouths dont get fed, so that chick was screaming to high heaven.
whoa; that’s a big foster kid! glad mum deals with this so well (these youngsters are tough esp around food). great one! (enjoy your site btw; also a painter just not of wildlife; you are fortunate and extremely talented where you are!) thanks for posting these; great!
Mom handled that surprise very well!
It seems like the little one was like "mom aren't you gonna do anything???"
I don't think the mummy realized something unusual has happened. She is so sweet to all of them, helping all the chicks.
Sometimes the other chicks can reject them the older they get the harder it is to surrogate chicks in
That 1 younger, fluffy kestrel seems a bit rejecting of the new older sibling! Lol! The way it immediately goes to mom screaming & looking over at the foster & then when the foster takes the whole meal, it really starts freaking out & screaming in mom's face as if to say "hey! Hey! Heyyyyy!!!!! We don't know that guy!! He doesn't live here!!! What are you gonna do abt this?! Kick him out!! I don't know him! Omg he's got the fooooooood!!! The food!!!!!! I hope you can hear me.mom bc im.screaming as loud as I can + as close to your face as I can possibly get!! I'm HUNGRY & that guy we don't even know is EATING ALL MY FOOOOOOOOD!!! WHY ISNT ANYONE LISTENING TO ME?!?!?!"
Oh wow! I was watching this again bc it was so funny the 1st time, and I just noticed that around 27-29sec into the video, the upset fluffy kestrel actually pecks sharply at mom after the foster gains control of the food & she hasn't gotten it back yet! Wow that's one crabby kid! The other flufferball is actually pretty chill abt the whole thing too, surprisingly, though does seem to be getting a little more.concerned near the end when it becomes more obvious that the meal is almost entirely gone and s/hr hasn't really gotten much of any it at all bt foster kid gulping it down & sometimes taking it straight outta mommy's beak & Mr. I'm-never gonna-stop-screaming-abt-that-guy-we-dont-know getting practically all the pcs that momma tears off & manages to hold on to!
Kestrels really are wonderful parents ❤
This is hilarious!! She like "What!" "Wait!" "Who the hell are you? "
Am I the only one was a little shocked to see they were eating the baby of another bird?
I first thought they’re eating their own sibling?
What a lovely bird species. Thank you for sharing the videos.
Did the third chick watching quietly even get fed? The two louder chicks certainly did.
Mom: alright i got food-
New chick: MINE
Mom: ah!? Ok new strange chick give it back.
New: Hell naw
Mom: *grabs it back*
New: awww :(
Amazing behaviour..Hope they all got along ..& fledged succesfully
This is a very rare shooting , CONGRATULATION 👍
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Love how batshit crazy some of the people are in the comments section of this vid/s in other words, zero reading comprehension between them
She’s like let me feed you 😂
Recognizable by every working mom XD
But for the fact that it looks like she went in and stole a chick out of another nest, this was a very enjoyable learning experience. Is that an unhatched egg on the right side? Surprised it hasn't been stopped by now
Thank you soooo much for your videos! )
Wow amazing. Very small digs. And very cheeky little white chick. Omg that poor live chick. Nature is savage. Tysm. ❣
Wish this vid had been narrated…can’t figure what’s going on. Looks like they are tearing up the chick…
The parents tear up the food into small pieces to feed to the chicks - They eat mice and voles and also day old chicks that I put out to supplement feed them.
@@RobertEFuller where do you get a regular supply of day old chicks? Are they also kestrel chicks?
@@zeroqp I don't know about the UK, but in my country you can buy culled male day old chicks from poultry farms to feed birds of prey. They don't lay eggs and so they are killed. This is probably the same in other countries 🤔
Wow great video how do you put the camera in there if they are there? 👍👍👍
Ytrterww
.
Wait... did I have three chicks? And was one of them that big already? Uhm... where did the food go? It is a kestrel chick, alright, and it is in my nest, so can't kick it out, can I? Must be mine then?
Same here when we fill the refrigerator with food.
Curious to note this was a day old chick being to them by mother . Did you supplement them with these ?
I do supplement feed the birds in my garden yes.
Has he made a copy of this with him narrating? Which kestrel is the foundling? The white one?
The white one is her own, protesting angrily. The other big one with mostly developed feathers, is the foster chick.
Mr Fuller - Why would you put a chick with such an age difference into this nest...won't one fledge way earlier and be more aggressive etc? I know fosters are taken often but this seems almost unfair to the "real" chicks ?
@Angel Bookman I agree with your comments and the answer is because it makes great video and it is an experiment.
I guess otherwise the orphan chick would die.
The orphan chick could easily be hand fed by humans, this is no problem to do. It does take copious amounts of time and dedication to raise though. My interpretation is that the "authorities" use Fuller's nests and he is happy to do so.
The mum gave food to everyone anyway, so what’s the problem?
Disrupting nests by introducing other chicks is rude of YOU.
YOU claim to care about wildlife, but here YOU are making a nice nest less nice.
Like obama forcing refugees into cities already over-full. Pretending that's nice, when it isn't.
Wow total chaos
That´s my dinner . Hold my beer .
So next time when you want to get rid of someone just leave the body outside a Kestrel nest.
I thought it was so cute until I realized they were eating a live chick...
What did you expect them to eat? Hot dogs?
GERARDO LIPIEJKO worms

Big mac
I think it is a day old male chick (rooster and hens) or perhaps it is the chick of another bird.
Is that an unhatched egg on the right? If so, I'm guessing it's from the same clutch that the current chicks came from. Also, is that a tick on top of the head of the white chick?
The younger chicks look like Sam Eagle from the Muppets.
I feel stupid for thinking these big birds where raiding or something 🤦🏽♂️
Not just you Oscar cause I thought this as well 😂
Whatever it is Mom eats his head at 2:36
Era un bebe pato o era una cría águila!
I wish there would be se sort of a narrative.
Some sort of a narrative.
“Can I get a wing, Ma?”
was the other baby protecting him
Wow looks like they're eating another Kestrel chick to me. Any idea what that is?
Now u can see what I do
looks like a gosling
@Jamie Koering lol roles in hollywood are scarce, you take what you can get
Robert supplement feeds them day old chicks he said under a comment.
I don't like the way they fought over it and the mother just didn't give every chick some food as usual.😢
Mmmmm... that's some goooooood face!
Num num num num num!😂
God bird kids are such brats
It's a baby duck
What were they eating?
that is a day old chick - I put them out to supplement feed the wild birds.
What are they eating??
The parents catch mice and voles and I also supplement feed by putting out day old chicks for the birds in my garden.
@@RobertEFuller So chickens?
@@TheScamr yeah it is a chicken
😭
Are those brown rock or Hawks egg?
Gaahhhh!
It looks like they're eating one of their own 🤢
❤❤❤❤
Ох что тут происходит из-за еды. Смотреть невозможно.
That was different bird it's had Orange Lake
The prey looks like a chick of same specie?
Bon appétit féroce loi de la nature
The prey looks like the day old hen's chicks i used to buy frozen from a bait shop when i hand reared my kestrel many yrs ago ie the chick's that come from the very eggs we eat .maybe mr fuller is feeding them in addition to their own prey !
OMG I saw the mum eat the babyiesbheart
oh wait there all peregrine falcons
No. Different type of falcon.
She can't tell
No baby falcon
Am I the only one seeing that they are literally eating a bird which are similar to them and the oldest one is dominating food not giving a chance to eat his brothers (cruel)
Это они самого мелкого съели,голодают?
That’s a different kind of bird’s chick, not a kestrel
Birds are a savages.. they will eat there own
Omg is it eating one of it's own member
Yea it looks like its eating a Kestral chick from another nest
@@williamy3947 wow carnivores i thought they were but now a cannibal too l
It was a 1 day old chicken the camera owner provided.
Guess they had a sister over for supper
What if they were Cousins hahaha jk Same Bird
Noooo why😭😭
No that was a dead baby and they eat
جميل جدا تحيات لكم
😐
Господи, какой ужас!!!
Omggggg
They ate the youngest?
I dont think so, i think that is small chicken, because you can see foot , that is maybe chicken foot
Looks like a duckling to me. It's beak is that of a duckling. Not so sure, though.
I want it

Day1
It looks like the white house right now.
CREDO!
Como jode el polluelo.
Look, I’ve enjoyed this channel but I find this video very disturbing. And while I understand it’s survival of the fittest, airing this brutal attack and feeding of the chicks with a live chick was just too gruesome to see for your channel. You should give a warning about this type of disturbing content. Until you take this step, I won’t be watching your channel anymore.
The food was not alive that the kestrels were eating and there was no brutal attack 🤔 the oldest chick had fallen from another nest and we were showing the female meeting it and feeding it Very normal footage for real life in a kestrels nest
1. What do you mean "investigated" ?
2. You mean "CASTIGATED" ? or, TORTURED" then, "EATEN" ?
