Mother ducks that can't save their babies from a heron that likes to eat ducklings in breed seasons

- A heron will eat ducklings to vary its food intake, but it must contend with attacking mother ducks that become distraught when the heron attacks and feeds on one duckling after another. The heron is regularly hunting and eating baby ducks throughout the duck breeding season to regulate its dietary needs. . 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, top avian predators, and 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 behavior 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, 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.
1:46 gotta have that moist tender swamp sauce with some rare duck, definitely a 5 star chef heron.
are you asian?
TOKAGERO1 aint nothin wrong with asians
Lin Andy
not saying that is wrong, just asking
Yeah duck does taste good
its like the king of bird meat
That Heron had no F's to give
♥ANARCHY♥ why would you interfere with the natural order of things?
***** I am mature enough to understand that this is a normal part of life. No, I would not intervene.
♥ANARCHY♥ are you really this dumb......
Phil Jones press F for res🅱️ect
No fish’s given?
Second one gets down into the heron's stomach and he's like, 'bro, what are you doing here?'
lol
hahaha that is fun to imagine
lol
heuheuheuheuehuehuehueheuheu
yeah if your fucked up in the head lol
heron is like "damn , wish I had bought my dipping sauce!".
he used water instead
Jaxxon Balboa Some duck sauce... that is.
At 1:41 he used swamp water
Don't worry. He had water to replace it
@@lelly4486 The whole pond is his dipping sauce.
Because splashing around and throwing water while floating around herons and quacking loudly will save your ducklings.
Elysion lmao😂
1337Picante those mother ducks were some bitches. The way they just let their children get eaten like that
player18792 Ducks forget bout their chicks after they disapear `:/
1337Picante What a intelligent species of living organisims.
they produce a lot of babies cause a lot of them will die.cause nature isn't kind to young animals.
@1:46 . . . it's like he's dipping that thing in sauce.
like eating sushi with sticks and dipping in soy sauce.
mmmm mmmm that is a tasty duckling
DUCK EATERRSSSSS
He gets it wet so its easier for him to swallow(not ment to be sexual). XD
You sure do know your thing about wet swallows
That bird dabbing that duck in that swamp water like it's ranch lol
1:17
DUDE THAT HERON DOUBLE DIPPED
WHAT A SAVAGE
TOO MANY DIP
WTH MANNN
You know what they say, two is better than one
It's like Attack on Titian all over again ;__;
reply to me please!
Salem ok
JaeRoar just on a smaller scale
JaeRoar Attack on ducks
HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! XD :D:D Good one! :D
It's funny how many dislikes this video has. Oh no, nature actually being nature, we only want to see the cute and cuddly side not animals trying to survive.
it's still not right that's cannibalism I would kill that bird if it was eating baby ducks they never got a chance
Face Palm of the year.
Tylerplays4 "Still not right" "Cannibalism" It's nature shit head, get used to it
+Tylerplays4 give tphim the dumbass award
Smh it is not cannibalism because they are NOT the same species. Are carnivorous fish including sharks cannibals too because they eat smaller fish?
To all vegans, "animal's rights activists", hippies, etc. who wanted the cameraman to save the ducks:
🎶 *I T ' S T H E*
*C I R C L E*
*O F L I I I I F E ! ! !* 🎶
It's not so much vegans than irrational people in this context. Vegans wish and work to limit human cruelty towards animals as much as possible ; there isn't any specific mindset regarding policing the behavior of predatorial species.
do something about it😠😠😠😭
fk u
i can guarantee you 90% of the people that are pissed in the comments section ain't even vegan.
0955interactive I'll just change my comment a little bit
To the: "I would kill the heron" "I'm part of nature too" > difference: heron kill to eat, you do for your oversensitivity problems
IrokoSalei And you cry about the whole thing on TH-cam, where nobody cares. Rather petty, I'd say.
IrokoSalei They kill to eat. But sometimes they also kill for fun and leave the body
Remember that if anyone kills one of your children.
will ill just cook the heron after i kill it then
I would kill it and eat it
Even though it is the circle of life, I would still run at the heron and try to steal the baby duck and deep fry it
You share some with me and give some to the duck's parents
You what about deep frying the Baron itself
That one Fusion Yes. Deep fry them all!
You wow
smallie210 me
i love how the heron is moving around like " Bitch i ate yo kiiiiids" leaves, and does it again
he ate the mom 2 wtf
Jose Guzman at least theyre together xD
Zachary Thomas next video is gona be me having me a rosted heron
nature is hardcore
Manti False dammm nature you scary lol
Manti False yea but im not gona eat an entire family :0
Meanwhile inside heron's belly:
.
.
.
"O hey there, bro. How ya doin'?"
lol
And the other replied, "We are all ducked."
hahahahahhahahaaa ... dude u just made my day
A good video. Well shot. Glad you didn't interfere. The herons have to eat too. Everything in life is eat and be eaten
no name screw you dude how is that fare he can't help himself thats like saying im going to kill you for eating steak because i feel bad for cow
Wolfen Kittens thats true
STFU snowflake pussy. All Herons deserve to be shot in neck with crossbow bolts and die in agony, hopefully being ripped apart by hunting dogs or hungry cats. Fuck Herons.
So when the heron eats a rat everyone's fine with it, but when it eats a duckling suddenly everyone wants it dead?
I'm getting real tired of the double standards
Most people think nature is like what they see in Disney movies.But they pee their pants when they see the real thing
Exactly. That's just the way nature is whether people like it not
@Zyrawrcious
There is no double standard.
If a rat dies, this is good for pest control. Also humans do not eat rats, at least not if there are other things to eat.
But humans do eat ducks.
So the heron is poaching in humans food supply and this can't be tolerated. Thus the heron must die.
OpenGL4ever
It's called natural selection, buddy.
Plus, any animal or organism can become a pest. By your logic, humans should also be considered pests and we should all die.
yes, it's a kill or be killed world sometimes
If life was a twisted cartoon, I can imagine those three ducklings inside the heron's stomach just huddled together in fear waiting to be digested. I made myself sad :(
I have one of these at my house. Sits on top of my boat and eats his fill of anything..... a feral cat lost a kitten, puppy, a chiwawa, literally bad ass. I call him ted.
May Ted live a happy life
Shoot the goddamn thing
It's ridiculous how humans react to nature taking its course. These birds have been doing this for thousands and thousands of years. All the dislikes are proof of ignorance!
Yet you're the ignorant idiot. The reason herons eats ducklings is because fishes populations have plummeted from our lakes and rivers when for hundred thousands of years before man polluted and drained rivers there were tons of fishes. Heron only adapted to human destruction. digesting a fish is by far easier for a predatory bird unless finding one takes so much energy that the choice changes. You are part of those human parasites who condone destruction of wild habitat.
goognam goognws you are the ignorant idiot. Herons are opportunistic predators that always ate small animals whenever they could. There is no difference in digesting a fish or small mammal for a predatory bird, the stomach acids easily melts any organic material.
+goognam goognws
"The reason herons eats ducklings is because fishes populations have plummeted"
have you any proof for this ridiculous statement? almost all predators are opportunistic hunters, meaning they'll eat everything they can get. why should fish be easier to digest than meat?
even if it's correct what you're saying, what's the difference between a fish and a duckling?
So it's ok for herons to eat live fish because you consider fish to be a less superior living thing than a duck?
this species looks almost dinosaur like..
Normally I'm 100% fine with this, but something about that heron, it's being a glutton.
ikr like seriously, stop eating your lot already.
Are you serious? To him, a duckling is like a chicken tender, and I assume you would want more than one tender.
It's probably been hungry for a long time. Humans do that too to food so it's no difference
The Wolf of Comedy That heron weighs like an eight of a human. The thing probably can't even fly away now.
It might have been starving. Remember, wild animals can't just swing by the nearest McDonald's when they're hungry. When they get a chance to eat, they have to take advantage!
Great vid man, thought it would be clickbait but I was pleasantly surprised that it was 100% legit, keep up the good work!
"Oh no poor duckling.. I would of stopped it!" *eats hamburger*
1 thats nature. Things need to eat. 2 theres more ducks in the world then those birds and 3 game wardens would love to fine you for messing with that bird.4 even says not fpr the sensitive viewer
I love my psycho mode
“What’ll it be today Harry? The usual 20-piece baby duck nuggets with pond sauce?”
“You know it!”
Man, your Irish herons are vicious! 8^O The white herons and mallards around here seem to get along fine, and they sleep amongst each other. I wonder if that's a grey heron thing, or if there's a dearth of other prey for it where you are, or if I just haven't happened to see it before. Anyhow, that is one hungry hungry heron! Amazing that it swallows the ducklings still wriggling. Thanks for the post!
Will do -- thanks.
Wildlife & Nature
My buddy Larry, who was an adult Heron , would always come see me when he noticed me fishing on my dock. He'd wait patiently behind me till I tossed him a fish. I remember Larry spearing about a four pound carp straight through it's head and into the wood dock! The power of that beak always made me wary of him standing so close behind me....guess he figured I was his meal ticket!
how logn are they alive in the stomach
until they die :D
Andreas Hoppe unfortunate
Andreas Hoppe Real informative, thanks.
The Mailman
you're welcome. I like to help wherever I can :D
You helped me too, and I'm glad of it.
5:56 I started cracking up whenever the Swan thing or whatever just swam by
chef: how do u like your duck sir?
heron: i like it whole and extremely rare with feathers still intact dipped in swamp sauce 😂
chef: say no moh.
*music plays* 🎶ITS THE CIRCLW OF LIFEE!🎶
dang, the mother can't do nothing to save her ducklings, that's kinda bullshit :/
True. Heron needs to be nerfed
Yeah, the admins should lower it's strength and regain rate and give the ducks sharper beaks and claws.
Lol it even eat the mom after killing the babies
this is why at the start screen, i choose "eagle" instead of "duck".
Grab, dip, swallow attack is OP!!
this is actually pleasing to watch lol
After the video, the Heron said, "this is my favorite buffet."
3:24 when you finish an argument and you hear the other person say something under their breath.
_B r a n d o n_J e a n_ omg HAHAHAHA
Duckling: "I'm supposed to be playing GAME of WAR...but this one predatory bird keeps kicking my ass"...
Some say the Heron27 could take out an entire brood in a single gulp
Have never seen a Heron behave like this . Ones I've seen eat little fish but have never witnessed such .Thanks be .
Ethna you are a dumbass, it's nature. You have no right to intervene
What would you do Ethna? Call the bird police to throw it in bird jail?
we have to kill the herons
OMG is that normal for a heron
sayjai bao shoot the fuckers.
Funny how we get upset when predators have to eat, especially when you consider that the biggest predator of all is man.
its just this animal trying to survive by eating another animal, to all of you saying you would have stopped it, how would you feel if you were sitting there eating KFC and it was the first meal you had in a week, and a massive creature came and punching you many times and took it from you, and you starved to death? i just love how all of you people who hate on the camera man for not saving the duckling and dont look at it from both ways and instead instantly take the side of the cute animal, both are animals, both just want to live.
PandaWithAFedora
you *NEED* to copy your comment and paste it on every comment saying that that bird needs to die.
What these kids need to learn is that nature is not the same as the disney movies they watch in their safe space
PandaWithAFedora
no I meant in this comment section the one in this video
thought it was trying to survive at first but when I saw the mamma duck in its mouth I new it just had a taste for blood.
Fuck that... if I seen that shit going down, id sling a rock at that thing. If I’m lucky enough to kill it, I’ll cook it and eat it. Cause I need food too.
So true
i like how it just casually just picks up the ducklings and the mother duck barely does shit about it, like escape from the area to avoid having another duckling to be eaten? yeah
*Heron* *dips* *the* *duck* *in* *the* *water* *like* *if* *it* *was* *ketchup* *while* *eating* *it* *.*
The water helps the duckling slide down the throat easier.
Was that heron going to eat that full grown duck at the end?
Why the video stopped on the middle of that?
I was wondering whether it will be able to swallow it.
omfg why , sthap heron plz , drink some water
fuck u guys you didn't even save the duckling but record
It's nature.
It's called nature.
If those were geese that thing would have been dead long ago lol
Geese are fearless and come from hell
If only it was geese. Would love to see a video of geese kicking the living shit out of a heron.
What so the heron could stab it with it's beak?
nah, heron would of been able to kill the goose with its beak
Many are like
OMG Y U STOOPID HERAWN
Meanwhile I am just sat here cheering it on
Neat! I love watching blue heron hunt where I'm from. Gorgeous birds. Best fishers I've personally seen.
Hey! The new T-Rex design looks fantastic!
don't blame the heron for eating the ducks theyre delicious to be honest
has anyone ever ate a heron if so do they taste good?
there's a hint of duck
seriously? just gonna copy my comment?
oh OK, I just thought maybe you'd feel better about yourself by being an individual. my bad.
I hear there's a hint of duck.
I fucking hate you guys.
Why did you cut it off at the big duck? Did it fit? did it choke? HOOOOW
***** AHHHH I had to go back and actually look. It's kind of difficult to notice the text when all the others were an intrusive red that I wound up tuning out-, and then this one was a nice solid green.
If I may suggest. Solid green with white text for these things? Or least a darker shade of red?
Or maybe, possibly putting your warnings in a panel before the video actually starts and a panel at the end for future project ideas and so on?
You have beautiful filming videos btw ^^ Love all these bird videos.
LoL - you're such a tease.
Don't say that
Was the "large prey" you mentioned at the end the adult duck?
Lol the mother duck is attacking. the heron is just like " hey man , chill. I'm tryna fuckin eat "
I looked up "ducklings" because they're among my favorite animals and I wanted to see cute videos of them. Now I'm traumatized. Why did I click this? I'm too curious for my own good.
Welcome to the internet.
I wanted to see a wolf jump out of the bush and eat the heron alive
The Bug Lord deal with it, nature is a bitch. Its happening wether recorded or not
Ikr
I wanted to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex jump out of the bush and eat the wolf alive.
@@RatMol71 Otters ripping apart the Heron video was awesome. I loved watching that Heron suffer at the paws of those fury badasses.
Why does it dip the duck in water as it's eating it?
Swear I was thinking the same lol
maybe to make it go down easier. sorta like lubrication.
gravy aint for lubrication, its for flavour.
I'm sure many people love chicken gravy, and gravy in general.
it makes it easier to eat the duckling because his trachea isnt wide enough to eat the duck whole like he is doing. The water helps the duckling go down easier
duck: wHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP.
Very good. Enjoyed watching it, thanks.
Oh damn, it swallows things alive, that's friggin nuts lol.
Hide yo ducklings!!!
Hide yo ducklings, hide yo ducks, and hide yo drakes cause they eaten everyone out here
+brenden malloy you don't have come and confess that you ate the duckling cuz we gon' find ya
+jeff saw home boy home boy
People need to understand that nature can be violent
It can be. Dogs can be violent too, especially when they're ripping apart a filthy Heron.
"Should we keep doing the duck version of Marge Simpson's disapproving sigh?" "Yeah that seems to work"
“On that day, duckkind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the Herons and were disgraced to live in these cages we called ponds.”
Can't believe the mother actually gave up her life in the end trying to protect her babies. This selfless, fearless feeling that mothers have, across all species, is incredibly unbelievable.
In this world, it's kill or be killed, I suppose....
It's nature, but none the less, still sad...
Poor ducks....
I seriously hate Herons. Everything they swallow dies a slow, painful death in their stomach acid. They're so fucking greedy.
This is nature. Morality does not apply to animals. Deal with it.
qboxer A gun applies to them more, true.
morality is a man invention. It applies to whatever you choose to apply it too, including animals if you choose so. If you think right and wrong are absolute notions, and not 100% man made then you're a fool. Someone absolutely has the right to condemn that greedy heron and kill it. It's not less moral than inventing moral laws between humans.
goognam goognws I still wanna shoot it
why u hate heron? The heron need food!
I like how he dips the ducklings in water so it eaasier to swallow
"Don't you even take the bones out?"
If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy.
Monty Python
Note they are still alive for like a hour in that heron
Uh no
Michael Petikas
Oh yes
Greedy Heron.
Would you just eat one chicken wing at a buffet?(if you even are an omnivore)
Eating enough to survive isnt greed. Its hunger
@Construction Tape, you know using r/wooosh is a dead meme right? This isn't even Reddit.
I cried while watching this😢
Ducks are my favorite animals!
Ahh..the heron. Graceful and beautiful, yet ruthless and deadly.
"It ate everyone"
"Even Brian?"
"It... Ate... Everyone!"
If it are everyone how are you still alive ?
This shit is crazy, could you imagine if there was something above humans? Like if there was a giant predator who ate humans and you had to watch your siblings get eaten and shit?
Oh wait, that's Attack On Titan. Rofl my bad.
allpizzaistasty MOOOOOOOOOOOOM NO
*vietnam flashback*
*cue shingenki no kyojin
I don't care if it's the circle of life. Those ducklings were babies and it's sad that the heron ate them.
It's sad, but females can have 15 ducklings every few months. If the herons weren't there the ducks would be really overpopulated.
If a heron eats a baby frog or fish would you feel bad for it? Or no because they're not cute?
that is the most fked up thing I ever saw
kill it kill it
Its nature get over it. Think about how many things had to die in order for you and ur fellow humans to be alive right now. Just because u don't see ur food being slaughtered doesn't mean we're better than these Herons.
You must be wet behind the ears, son. There are far worst things I've witnessed compared to this!
That's not something to be proud of really...
*****
Dude ISIS has some fucked up videos. Like the one where they burned some guy alive or when they drowned some soldiers in a cage. Fucking brutal!
Baby ducklings could be among the things herons pick up near the shallows where they feed. Their preferred food, however, is frogs, fish, and other aquatic animals.
I like how the heron goes like " Om nom nom nom nom" all the time, right after he swallowed that unfortunate ducklings.
Dang that sucker is greedy. why didn't mama duck slide up on the back of that thing and snack it a few times. the last part of the video showed that rascal with a big old duck probably the momma. dang, how much can that fool eat
Those ducks are simply not large enough or strong enough to do any damage to the heron. They just put on a show and hope it scared the heron off. No chance.
+Banished From The Planet: if enough of dem ducks had bum rushed. that rascal they could have drove him off. you just don't let nobody eat your kids up like that. that Arrogant fool really pissed me off. one of those big nasty Canadian geese should have come up to the rescue
The ducks are small, and while they may irritate the heron enough to take off, they risk serious injury to themselves taking it on. Same with how you'll see crows and other small birds diving a hawk. They want it gone, but know that it has the ability to take them out if they get careless enough...
That's not how ducks think, and if someone's bullying a kid on the street, 90% will ignore
+Kancho-Choo-choooo - after looking at the video again I did notice mama Duck climbing up on that Rascals back trying to peck that rascal into releasing her child. but as you stated they have no talons nor a hooked beak to inflict any damage. the big duck that he had in his mouth at the end of the video was probably that same Mama. what a bummer
when hunters shoot ducks for entertainment it's okay and fun. But when the heron eats the duckling - not for entertainment but to survive and have baby herons- it's wrong and mean.
I'd love to see a Canadian Lynx or American Bobcat take out that Heron while its hunting itself, eat it alive. I'm sure it happens lol. It's sad to see these lil ducklings get eaten, but it's life.
welcome to planet Earth, you must be a newcomer. Here on this planet most animals eat each other and they don't have feelings of sadness, revenge, etc. We humans are special in that way and we can actually kill for pleasure. I don't think the rest of animals do that. They just eat to survive, or to help their offspring survive.
Nobody is shooting ducks for entertainment. I would give a special ass whoopin' to anyone I caught wasting meat like that.
blueaspen
Dude nature is fucking brutal
he didn't even kill them first he just swallowed them alive it's terrifying
bellísimo momento estos animalitosle dan alegría y vida a. nuestro planeta ...gracias por hacerme, partisipe en. algo tan sensible mis más sinceras felicitaciones . humana labor
adelante. con esto y mucha suerte ...brabo!!!
lol shit, i shot a few of those a whike back, is it illegal?
If they're not on the species protection list, then maybe not.
yes they are protected do to declining numbers thanks to habitat loss and people shooting them just to shoot them like the ass holes humans are.
Brianna Harter believed you until your last senrence
it's true people have been shooting them as target practices in some areas.
Wade Wilson yes
For the Heron, this is a duckling buffet---
Wow, talk about vore huh.
Beautiful heron. I love wading birds. Never knew they ate ducks, have seen them spear and eat fish.
And then he filmed an even bigger bird come along and eat a bunch of baby Herons, and someone was like, "how come you just sat there and filmed instead of getting involved?" and then he filmed an even BIGGER bird eating THAT bird's baby birds and someone was like, "how come you just sat there and filmed instead of getting involved?" and then an EVEN BIGGER BIRD...
As I watched this,
"Circle of life" kept playing in my head.
Am I normal?
A professional shut-in I always thought of everyone's circulation
am I sadistic for liking this?
No.
I blame Donald Trump for this. His fault. All of it. 😉
ah, i assume he is racist too, and sexist, and also homophobic even though he is none of these things, and says things that no racist could say, says things that no sexist could say, and well he even said he doesnt care about gay's being gay
Love how that dude just walks by like nothing just happened 0 And the her doesn't even get scared
How was it for the ducklings? Are they in immense pain while the stomach acid is dissolving them? Or they just sufficate within a minute?
Was that the mother duck at the end? Did the heron swallow that big bird!
Heron is like "bitch I'm coming for seconds!"
Now I'm craving rice and fried duck.
oh i love how the duckling gets ripped at the herons beak, its satisfying
Are their heron hunting season?
Excellent video. Nice work.
I love nature.
i find this strangely satisfying
Do Heron's make noises?
heavy: how could dis happen???
Scout:Oh my god That freakin duck is a spy!
Announcer:Warning heron will attack you all
