Heron eat enormous birds by swallowing them whole, and this bird eats a huge duck meal head first!

- Animals of massive proportions are not hard to eat for a heron because they use a specially adapted eating technique that helps them swallow large prey whole. The grey heron is a species of meat-eating predatory wading birds that live on and around water; they are waterbirds that don't swim but wade through the water. The heron is a hunting bird that uses its long, sharp beak to catch animals while silently and patiently stalking its intended prey; they are water waders with long legs traversing their aquatic dom The heron attacks and feeds on other animals because they are carnivorous predators; they are a top avian predator and are exceptional hunters of all kinds of prey animals that live and breed worldwide. Herons have an incredible instinct to attack and eat other animals. This type of feeding behaviour has evolved over millions of years to enable them to have an extensive menu of wild protein-rich animal meat food. The herons are flying birds with a very diverse diet of meat from hunting and eating other animals. They especially like dining on water-based waterbirds, waterfowl baby birds, rats, rodents, other small mammals and birds and insects, and a wide variety of marine and aquatic creatures living in and around saltwater and freshwater. Food eaten without chewing is how the heron and all birds eat their food because they have no teeth for crushing, and dining on big or small portions by swallowing in gulps is how they feed. The heron can be seen actively hunting and eating animal babies throughout the breeding seasons, especially when they live and breed in the herons' natural habitats. Herons will hunt and eat smaller birds and bird babies, hatchlings, nestlings, and bird eggs by regularly raiding throughout the bird breeding seasons when the heron dines and eats The herons are avians living and breeding in almost every habitat close to water throughout the world's coastal and inland waterways.
Me: What do you put on your duck?
Heron: Just water.
What - no duck sauce?
If birds were as big as horses we’d all be dead. They are some stone cold killers.
Nathan Hatfield they are waay bigger before. gigantic xD

Slender Man isn't that just a theory and not fact
Reclusion not if it gets you by the throat before you can react. you assuming the person is capable and aware.
Reclusion you're assuming it's not the jurassic period.
I think it was damn nice of that heron to keep the family together.
7:16 - 7:46 the heron is thinking "alright just act normal you're ok...it's totally natural to have an entire adult duck stuck in the middle of your f***ing throat."
He uses the lake as dipping sauce.
Erik Andersson jj9. B &miniNJNJNJNJNJ
Haaaa....
No ketchup, just sauce.
I think all that dipping serves multiple reasons:
1) the heron use the duck's buoyancy in the water to allow it to gradually position the duck's head into its mouth,
2) drown the ducklings.
3) to make the duck wet enough to slide down its throat.
4) drinks in the water to drown the duckling that it swallowed live.
5) because its a habitual thing they do with or without a prey.
Naah, pretty sure it is just the tasty tasty dip sauce.
Raw sauce.
So kind of him letting the family getting reunited
Stays together as a clump of feces
Haha 😂
By eating them
@@fatcat871 you don't see the irony in what you've said?
Julio Pinedo no sympathy for people who find enjoyment in the suffering of other life
Slowly suffocating in a dark, cramped, noxious vat of acid might be one of the worst ways to go
@Ryke Haven the most of the rodents have cardiac problems and they die before that happens
I think horrible thoughts like that too, on the live duckling's fate...
That's Eren Yeager
I think the heron crushes ribs and stuff when they swallow them they likely die before getting to the stomach due to internal bleeding. Still not pleasant
It's like that scene in M.I.B.
Everybody's worst nightmare..getting picked up by enormous chop sticks and becoming someone's dinner.
Heron at 8:32 : Fuck. Just realized I'm going to have to shit this entire duck out later. That beak is not going to come out easily. 😂
LMFAO!
You do know that they vomit out and eat again..farmers in china use heron to catch fish..they regurgitate the fish out after eating them..
That's cormorants, and they actually put a thin rope around their neck to prevent them from swallowing the fish.
Startup Division f
He won't have to shit the entire duck. After he's done digesting, he's supposed to throw up all the bones.
For the jurassic park velociraptors they just plucked some herons and put them on a miniature set.
The eyes.
Those eyes.........they.... are.... THE SAME
FREEZA!!
we are free， suckazz
So you will kill them?
This video is hard to swallow.
BigStickyNugs 😁😂🤣
Heron: hold my beer
plus one like for originality
OH MY GOD IN HEAVEN!
*has a coronary*
I just unscrewed the little panel on the front, that houses all the wiring, just for the hell of it to see if there is a drain hole hiding in there.
OH MY FREAKING GOD. I was lifting it up and BAM! There's a frigging hairy creature in there.
OMG OMG OMG
*dies*
lol.
Always best to waterboard your dinner first.
It ate a WHOLE adult duck! Wow
That's a fricken modern day dinosaur.
@FULL RETARD how can you call anyone a maggot with a name like that! 😆😃😂
I never imagined them eating anything other than fish! Brutal predators!
Not really. "Efficient" would be more fitting. It's nature.
Humans who knowingly torture animals for entertainment are "brutal".
Maverick naa I think you got that mixed up with sociopath.
Well, sadly, far too many people do that, without having any mental illness.
I thought the same about pelicans. That one video where one swallowed a pigeon was just an appetizer; BBC showed them going to bird colonies and snatching babies away that either had no parents around or were small enough to swallow.
Fish frogs small turtles snakes waterfowl muskrat
That second one is what I feel like when taking my vitamin 😂
Lol especially vitamin B
🤣🤣 hilarious
I laughed out loud at this one 😂😂😂
The heron having trouble swallowing that duck reminded me of when I was a kid and my mom said I had to finish my pot roast (which was very dry). It was difficult to get it down and took a lot of water.
😂🤣😂😂
That's a smart heron. A whole duck in a restaurant costs $$.
Your funny
THIS is why teeth were invented.
Samuel Hain evovled
... bruh 🤦🏼♂️
Birds had teeth but they wanted to fly so had to lose the weight. Fossil record supports this.
Teeth weren't invented bro.
@@jesseliderc5199 dont think thats why teeth were lost but points for half way right?
Heron looking at the photographer. “Wonder if I can get him to fit?”
Heron: "Calm down, you should learn to wait my digestion."
The struggle this bird goes through to eat is beyond comprehensible
Yeah, but after it finally succeeds it won't have to eat again for a long time.
yeet
its weird - some humans have trouble swallowing a big pill and that thing swallows just everything
Vincent Ardizzone lmao herons eat several kilos of fish on a daily basis you fool
Geovan Diaz no it's not wit ya overdramatic ass
THATS A GOOD MOMMY DUCK GO DOWN MY THROAT AND BE WITH YOUR DUCKLINGS...THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!
Okay, NOW I understand why everyone hates herons.
I always thought they looked cool.
Majora de Mayhem just because an animal eats another animal does not mean they're evil. This. Is. Nature.
i like herons
They do look cool. Are you stupid?
My bf and I dont hate them . In fact we know where to look to watch them and we do
Leo the Yutyrannus in fact I’ve got some clips of beautiful great blue heron taking off from one of our “ spots “ where we have a nature sess while watching and taking pics if possible ( sometimes you can’t take pic ya just gotta enjoy the moment....
I used to see herons as, like, my fishing buddies. Like "Hey man, let's go catch a few fish, maybe take a swim, drink a cold one, go home and cook what we caught, right?" Now I see them as scary little dinosaurs, freaking Velociraptors. "Today's entree: Fish Stuffed Duck"
Ducklings, bet you can't eat just one... So quack open another!
George Rigberg "honk" if you geese would rather see a duck be dinner than a goose
George Rigberg ha ha ha LoL
George Rigberg
You made me laugh.
i smell a slogan
Dwl
Once again, you have filmed some amazing footage. It can be a tough life for a duckling or a duck.
Badgerland.co.uk meve
Ducks are very violent too, watch some more vids, ducks will kill ducklings and fuck their mother
Dr. Alan Grant: I bet you’ll never look at birds the same way again. Lmao....
that heron trying to swallow that huge duckling is equivalent to a human trying to swallow a whole Thanksgiving Turkey.
Momma duck; "Fight junior, fight!"
Gulp!
mrfester42 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"A little shakin, a little tenderising.. & down ya go!"
, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
There is nothing "brutal" - as one commentator puts it - about this. This is life. Difficult to watch, yes, but an interesting aspect of avian behaviour and it shows just how versatile the grey heron is. And for all those who condemn the heron for doing what comes naturally in order to survive... I recommend you pay a visit to a poultry processing plant. That's where the true horror and brutality lies.
This being life doesn't mean it isn't brutal. Life is brutal. And yes buying cheap meat from the supermarket is much more brutal than this heron
If X is more brutal than Y, then Y is not brutal at all. So.........A processing plant is more brutal than the Heron's actions, then the Heron's actions are not brutal at all! LOL shitty argument buddy and shitty logic.
@@messijr5145 so if someone cut of your finger it's not brutal because it would be more brutal if he decapitates you? With your logic only the most brutal thing is brutal and anything else isn't brutal. That's a weird logic.
@@irgendeinname9256 lmfao are you trying to be a dummy or are you one for real? hahahahah hahahahahahahaha
@@messijr5145 But the comparison is a bit irrelevant. Both are things that happen. Each in their own context.
Never knew these birds ate other birds. Now I know how the ducks have been losing thier babies. This entire time I thought it was a gator or other animal. lol!
They eat whatever they can fit in their beaks. There's a video of one eating a rabbit. Also, it's why ducks have o many babies.
there was a video of a cow eating a duckling (why am I rewatching a video and why am I responding to a 1 year old comment)
That duck looked like a duckling to me, like it feathers weren't all quite there, being said herons will eat anything they can fit down their necks. 😂
There is video on TH-cam of what I think is a Hawk, or Kestrel flying off with 3/4 baby robins from a nest.
I live on the Gulf Coast. Let me assure you that a Blue Heron is a top predator.
Birds evolved from dinosaurs after all.
Heron: Damn its too large to swallow down, I should just leave it. But dammit, that guy has his camera on me and if I give up now, all my Heron friends will laugh at me.
Man,he hardly blinks.I can't swallow a vitamin without chokin'.😎wildlife don't kid around
Now that's one shitty way to die. Too bad for the duckling, but a heron's gotta eat too y'know.
Shoot all herons they are complete predators and have no enemies
You kinda right but Wong
Stupid ducklings have to die. It is their fate.
Astonishing footage, Paul.
I would never have thought that a heron could take an adult duck. Remarkable.
What's the time stamp I couldn't find it
And you know all the other birds are in the background talking about him. 😂😂😂
Saying a BAD ASS Predator is waiting for whosoever dares!!!
Very clever and killer bird 🐥💥🦢 , he dipping into the water that helps him to swelling easily, but looks very uneasy 😬 Awesome film ! Thanks 🙏
Imagine eating something and feeling it kicking in your stomach.
Anyone who doesn’t think birds are dinosaurs, show them this video lmao.
I see it, still don't believe that birds are dinosaurs , This bird reminds me of snakes for some reason
DarkLizerdGuy
Its not up for debate, birds are most certainly dinosaurs. Thats like not believing bats are mammals because they fly and look a bit different.
Next time you’re close to a bird, look at their legs, they’re covered in scales. Also most dinosaurs had feathers along with scales, just like modern birds do. Birds are more closely related to crocodiles than any other reptiles, since dinosaurs and Crocodilians both evolved from the same group.
@@Bolt99K the only thing that is not up for debate is that dinosaurs are dinosaurs and birds are birds, no need to bother looking at their feet when it's all clearly shown with their own heads , birds have no teeth , they have peaks, also your using bats as an example for what again ? if I said that bats are lions or whales that wouldn't sound smart at all, caz bats are bats, lions are lions and whales are whales , I can't believe some people don't feel embarrassed by stating that birds and dinosaurs are one and the same
DarkLizerdGuy
Okay first of all, taxonomy is based on genetic relationships not physical characteristics, we haven’t based animal on physical characteristics since the 1800s.
Second of all, i used bats as an example against grouping animals due to physical characteristics since its a great example of why thats a flawed way of viewing taxonomy.
I understand that taxonomy is a difficult concept thats taught poorly in high school, so i get why you’re confused.
Dinosaurs aren’t just Trex and Sauropods, they’re an incredibly vast group of animals that encompassed Hundreds of thousands different species. From tiny dinosaurs the size of mice, to the largest land animals we are aware ever exist. They’re just as diverse as mammals are today.
We know birds are dinosaurs for a number of reasons, most importantly due to their genes. But thats too complicated of a subject to try to explain in a TH-cam comment. The easiest way for you to understand is the homology of their bone structure and also the fossil record, the hip bone structure of birds is shared by no other group of animals except for a certain group of dinosaurs. Also there is a clear fossil record of the evolution of birds from bipedal dinosaurs, they’re beyond enough fossils showing the progression of bird evolution through the species.
@@Bolt99K fossil record is not an evidence for anything , also when it comes to genetic relationships you need a living breathing creature to prove it , like you said, Dinosaurs are more then just tyrannos or sarubods , they are a vast and diverse species of animals , but I can't simply look at a Triceratops and think it looks like a golden eagle , especially knowing it eat plants , the whole idea of birds = dinosaurs is a huge stretch, even if it was the case, you can't simply go to a pet store and ask them to add lions to the number of animals you could adapt caz they are elated to house cats , that just stupid , again dinosaurs are dinosaurs and birds are birds
Heron: “if i can maunch the ducklings, why not maunch the ducks? If it swims, we can maunch it”
If an animal ate me whole it would be getting some crippling stomach cramps/gut pains as I punched my way through. I would not go quietly.
Its a bird eat bird world
Lopez13 187 he took that whole family
I just came here from watching fish eating bird in ocean
I want to see something come along and eat that bird
Search "Eagles killing Herons". You're welcome.
@@TTVBunnyDougie Thanksn't
Python please!
Their weakness are birds that can swoop towards them with talons like an eagle. That type of predatory Bird would destroy herons.

I like how he pauses & goes into that weirdo trance mode jus before the initial gulp.. maybe thinkin "uh oh I think I over did it this time" 🦆

How to tackle Christmas dinner when you lose your teeth.
@ColdWaterThrower And then choke on your food because human's throat is not the same as those birds, that's why we have teeths lol
I really thought he couldn't do it. Wow. That was amazing. The duckling was easy, but that larger duck, wow!
Wow
That duck moving around was reddish looking.
Wow, that gave me the chills! That heron is savage!
Eagles: NOOOO! YOU CANT JUST KILL DUCKLINGS WITH YOUR BEAK!
Herons: Haha, spear beak go brrrrr
It's sad to watch, but the comically impotent quacks from the parents as their offspring are eaten in front of them lends this a kind of gallows humour.
Literally how my uncle eats twinkies
By next Friday, I will surely have seen a heron devour every small animal known to mankind, thanks to TH-cam recommendations.
the heron with the adult duck was like an olympic weightlifter... bends down, takes a few moments to mentally prepare for the attempt, then makes a big effort to lift. Success!
Watching attack on titan after this.
season 4 needs to hurry
The final season is here!!
IT HAS BEGUN!!!!! and already exciting!!!
Ah the yin yang balance. The yin is the small guys beating the big guys. The yang is a stork eating a baby duck.
Incredible footage!!!!
Thomas Gonder incredible shock
You used to have a great video of one duckling that took like 15 minutes for it to swallow!
Wildirishswan Paul were in Ireland are you from I do alot allot of fishing and didn't no they eat ducks saw them eatting wee fish
Klo
Very good just the sound of nature no talking no bullshit music just right thx for posting
Just a spoon full of water helps the duckling go down 🎵🎶in the most delightful way.
I haven't seen so much dunking in water as when I watched a movie about John the Baptist 😃😎😇 .

Heron to mama duck: "STFU. Shut your mouth now or I'll shut it for you...ok, I warned ya." *POW*
Such interesting videos. I only found them now. Subbed.
Oh gosh. It is eating the whole family.
And no spice and seasoning just like English breakfast.
He had plenty of algae-dip,but nonetheless its hard enough to swallow. Typical behaviour at an "All-You-Can-Eat"-Restaurant....
4:18 heron.exe has stopped working
Heron- oh hi duck. Wanna come over for dinner tonight? Duck- sure. What are we having? Heron- You'll see. It's a surprise.
And he's skulking around like he's still hungry
Was that a ferruginous duck for the first? They are quite a rarity here in the U.K.. Nature doesn’t respect whether a bird is rare or common, and did the heron kill the second bird? It looked a bit bloated like it had been dead a while. I’ve seen one make very short work of a stoat or weasel, my wife who can’t watch raw nature on the TV etc was fascinated when she saw it in real life. I saw one coming off second to a marsh harrier on Sunday, I thought it was two harriers dancing at first but when I looked out of my scope one was a heron upside down but too far away for an image though. Great footage, very well done indeed I just hope the heron doesn’t have young because there’s no way they’ll manage that lot when he coughs it back up.
I don’t think the dinosaurs went extinct. I think some of them just shrunk a lot and evolved into these feather raptors.
😳
Ki Mu evolution is a myth. There is not a single remnant of the inbetween species from "dinosaurs" to birds.
I don’t think they evolved into it; I think the dinosaurs died (obviously) but a few other terrifying species of that era survived and remain
@@zervver That's not how evolution works.
That's not a raptor. A raptor is a hawk or eagle, etc, etc.
4:39 his next meal passes by in the background.....
This proves that humans are able to swallow a sheep...
None of us searched for this we all know this.
What in the You Tube algorithm decided we would be interested in watching a heron eat a family of ducks? The scary part is it was right.
Heron: *Catches baby chick*
Me: Oh yeah, I’ve seen this sort of thing before, I thought-
*Cuts to heron suddenly having a full grown-ass duck*
_W hat_
Herons are basically these types of birds that will eat just about any living creature they could snatch.
Pretty much any bird
Man, it's amazing he doesn't choke on this darned thing. Just amazing!!!
This video is unforgiving. There's better dipping sauces out there then water.
Yeah, but after it finally succeeds it won't have to eat again for a long time.
bruh you copy and pasted that
glados098 Me? I did not.
bruh i wasnt talking to you
glados098 Sorry about that. Yeah, guy did.
These hunted animals will know the new meaning of pain, as they'll be slowly digested . . . for A THOUSAND YEARS!

I don't need a shopping bag just bring a heron
I cannot stop watching these types of videos. I'm obsessed in some sick way it seems
those videos are showing how nature REALLY is, maybe thats why it makes it so interesting? feeling the same though
That's life ...people are different ...I stopped watching it at the beginning...and just read the comments...too graphic for me
I feel sad and even cry for the prey, but I watch. Can't figure out why, when it makes me cry.
I have a heron...I love him so much and I feed him. I almost cannot believe he eats ducklings and ducks..but still love him :D. He comes inside the house all the way long through the kitchen to the hallway😂😂
You just watch over your cute little bunny........
i hate herons - if i get one i would kill it instantly
dont leave ur kid around him..
Fara diba I used to let a night heron in my house,he got spooked and tangeled up in the blinds.Dont get spooked.
Watch your back
That heron is saying let me clear my throat!
I like how the Haron keeps on dipping his duckling nuggets in the water for added flavour, bone appetit!
At least they died together and will be shitted out as a team.
spot on
Together til the end... of the heron's ass.
💀
Even the shit they had store inside them will be shitted out of the heron. Shitception?
Shat not the past tense of shit?
I'm feeling sick. I should stop watching this.
After he ate the Duckling and moma was complaining about him eating her child, the Heron was like you complaining huh? Alright, Gulp "run an tell that!" Mercy!😲
Me at the buffet trying to eat as much as I can before I leave
How do they shit out the bones & the beaks/duck bills?? 🤔
They don't they regurgitate them, if you've ever found an owl pellet in the woods it's the same thing all the fur and bones in a little ball, or in this case it would be bones and feathers. I've seen the same thing with cherry pits, people think they poop them out but the birds I saw just spit them back up.
Those things are mostly dissolved by strong gastric acid of these avian predators.
Oh my gosh Rude!!
You didnt use the teriyaki sauce
At least he had wasabi with it
JustinBieber r/WOOOSH
I thought I was watching a national geographic clip. Great camera work!
Then croc eats up that big heron and after a few years croc becomes HERMES. Groovy!
Some of the prey that the heron swallows is still alive. I wonder how long it's meal lives after it's swallowed?
Until they suffocate. Probably 3 minutes.
Good thing they don't grow to like 20 feet, yes?
jeff theriault they wouldn't have gotten the chance to grow. We're the dominant species and such creatures would have been pretty tasty.
Can the bird peck.the shit of its insides?
Clearly the snakes of the bird world.
I did not think that second bird was going to get that whole duck down in one swallow! Dang! Later I thought for sure he would choke to death, but it fooled me again! Mother Nature can be quite scary at times!
Imagine going for a swim with the family, and you watch a giant bird grab one of you siblings and still have the balls to eat him on shore in front of you.
Herons are like if you crossed a snake and a bird...and maybe a ninja.
These nasty bastards have eaten all my pond fish about 40 comets (Fancy-Tailed Gold Fish) at one sitting!
Michael DelRossi magnum 44 the most powerful hand gun in the world. Job done
Go to an aquarium supply store that has the plastic statues of herons. Put it out by the fish pond but move it every few days so the real heron doesn't get wise to the fact that it's not real. Herons are extremely territorial and once it sees the statue it will stay away. I had to get one of the statues to put out by my ponds and it works wonders.
Maverick is that before or after I beat the shit out of you ?

The duck was like an Italian mother, saying, "OHHHH, you killa my baby! Take-a me! Take-a me!" So the heron said, "uh, Okay!"
