Heron feeding on baby waterbirds in a compilation of images

- In an ideal animal habitat for predatory wading birds that are hunting to feed, a heron that eats bird babies born to aquatic birds is feeding on baby waterbirds. In this compilation of images, a heron is hunting, and it eats waterbird babies right through the aquatic birds' breeding seasons. The heron is actively eating the waterbird babies alongside ducks and other waterfowl in this water habitat. The herons are highly adapted birds that apply experience and instinct when feeding on baby birds, and their finely tuned attacks are an incredible example of what nature and evolution will create for an animal to survive in the wild natural world every day. The heron is a meat-eating predatory wading bird that attacks and feeds on other animals. They are carnivorous, top predators, and exceptional hunters of prey and animals that live and breed worldwide. Herons have an incredible instinct to attack and eat other animals. This feeding behavior has evolved over millions of years, enabling them to have an extensive menu of wild protein-rich food. The herons have a diverse meat diet, from hunting to eating other animals. They especially like to eat fish and various aquatic creatures that live in seawater and freshwater. The heron can be seen actively hunting and eating small mammals and baby birds throughout the cities and wildernesses, especially when they live and breed in the herons' natural habitats. The herons live and breed in almost every aquatic habitat close to water worldwide.
Ducks floating by like "That ain't my kid"
@AmethystExpert that's heron, not tiger/human/python, they should try
@AmethystExpert In fact, birds protect their chicks. Even in hopeless situations against reptiles, mammals and birds larger in size. At least they try to scare or injure and save other children. Cause it's effective on distance
Not this time, but eventually it will be.
This is how the dinosaurs REALLY went extinct. They began eating the young of its own species.
I thought they were gentle, only ate small fish kind of birds. Herons don't give a damn.. Baby or no baby. Dipping the baby in water before swallowing it whole 😮. No different from a lion, or cheetah eating a baby gazelle. Life is the greatest teacher. IT doesn't favor a side.. IT just IS 💜
Pigeons are also in their menu....I've seen a couple pigeons paying the price before
No different from a human as well. Or yes, humans would even "eat" other humans for their own benefit.
Pelicans will do the same thing, pretty much. But with different birds as prey.
@@Bruce.-Wayne dude pidgeons are on everything's menu.
@@Bruce.-Wayne do you mean baby pigeons? Because I am pretty sure they can't swallow pigeons. And their beaks arent designed to tear them up.
But I saw pelicans swallowing pigeons.
'Why thank you for returning me to the water Mr. Heron.'
'Oh, no. I'm just lubing you up. Down you go!'
It also amazes me how strong their beak must be, to hold onto prey for that long
More over, it seems it kills the prey by using its strong beak.
They choke prey with their beak so very strong

Me: Ok, I'm pretty sure I've seen all the seagull vids
TH-cam: Let me introduce the heron
Same on me Total
The T-Ron
Hell yeah thanks to youtube
From pelcan to seagull to this😆😂
Don't miss the pelican! They swallow whole pigeons
Mallards are relatively passive when it comes to defending their nests and chicks. If this Heron had tried this with Canadian Goose goslings it would most likely ended up very different. Canadian geese are very aggressive when it comes to defending their eggs and young. Interesting video though.
Geese in general are pretty protective of their nests and territory. Even taking on swans (which doesn't always end well.)
But this Heron is smart, it knows this is easy prey that will feed it well.
Hopefully the parents of these ducklings learn to hide their nests and offspring better, or find a territory with less predators
We tumble sometime taking our food, thinking of it, it is nice to see the heron pushing its prey(when we think how the heron is going to gulp the seemingly impossible)with only its beak,its amazing skill coupled with patience,concentration is unbelievable

@@incgohd at times tumbling,that is what i meant(main comments edited)
@@svenkatesan9098 oh oke
Herons are incredibly patient. Had to skip forward a dozen times to finally see it gulp down the duckling.
Yeah, me too. I just wanted to see that Heron, swallowing that duckling. I had to do the same thing, like you.
And incredibly creepy
@@doctorjekyll6125well, I think they could die if the prey still fully conscious and ''strong''
🤮👎👎👎
The Heron is like time. We are like the duck.
Arthur Schopenhauer and Thomas Ligotti approve of your comment.
The older we get, the more we are dipped in water like a cookie being dunked in milk.
time is like a heron to the heron itself

@11:48 that look when you're telling yourself "Don't throw up, don't throw up! You got this bro!"
I love egrets, herons, and storks...these birds are just impeccable, interesting, and neat to watch! 😍🙃
Wow, amazing footage. I had no idea herons ate ducks, and this one didn't mind posing for you while he swallows them whole. Unreal!
How fresh do you like your food?
Heron: yes
"you need to be vegan because the nature..."

Yeah. I hate animals that are slow, inefficient killers.
@@Ithurtssobad feel free to hate but heron wont care
Btw. I've killed one of these retarded birds
@@alejandrotelarroja119 you belong in jail
I like how the heron is like to the mother duck "Oh! You want this? Gulp!" 😜
Imagine that thing flying overhead and crapping on your windscreen? You can forget Rainex helping you out there..
damn. just imagine that _you_ had a literal giant monster living on your doorstep, where you and your babies have to leave every day...that's essentially how these duck live! while they can. :-|
They're the Antifa BLM NFAC crowd of the animal world 😆🌷
I'm rather with the other duckling at 3:39
Looks like some serious "gordy's dead, it's now or never!" to me
Hard to imagine for an human but that's how most animals live. While the heron swallowed the ducklings maybe his babies got eaten by another bird
So ducks will chase a human being for going near its babies but don’t bat an eye to the heron swallowing one of them there 😐
Yes... thats why the saying should be ' as stupid as a duck'.
Herons don't run from them :v
Geese are the evil asshole birds that will attack you if you go near them and their babies..this is just a regular duck..a geese would've fought back easily lol
Your thinking of Geese mate
That's because the humans don't SHOW how they EAT the babies all insane as fuck. It's SHOCKING in the mind.
I like how herons dip their meal in water like dipping chicken nuget in the souce, only alive! So funny!
This heron at the McDonalds drive-thru: "What do you mean you're outta pond sauce? I'm never coming back here again!"
3:42 that little duckling was like
"Fuck this Im out of here"
This is fascinating,I had no idea that herons had such a diverse diet and the fact that they can swallow whole several small preys one after the other is astonishing,thank you for uploading this.
Rokva: I’m with you; it’s a fascinating display of nature. Can you believe all the sissies that don’t like the big, bad birdy???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And pelicans, they let their prey camp out for a bit before dining 😂
It's amazing altogether. Surprisingly birds who eat fish or bugs, etc will take opportunities of other food if it's available or easy to get.
Like a chicken for example, most people don't realize they'll eat not only their seed or bugs, but also mice, smaller snakes, young birds or anything practically available for them.
Birds are so smart. It really is incredible.
It's unfortunate the parent ducks couldn't protect their offspring. Hopefully it's a lesson learned for any surviving ducklings or future broods.
It's not exactly like they can fight the heron; who cam easily kill them.
Dip dip potato chip.
That heron reminds me of being at a cocktail party hanging out at the hors d'oeuvre table...
Interesting mesmerizing video. Amazing how it uses water to aid in swallowing that little duck. I wonder if the Heron is food for larger birds like Eagles or Ostriches.
BTW thanks for not dubbing over the top dramatic canned music.
He's drowning the poor tiny duckling, ruthless cannibal that he is.
Beautiful birds. Love watching them while I'm fishing.

Videos like these shouldn't be shown anymore. It's nature yes but leave them that way. Don't make money out of these helpless, harmless, pitiful adorable animals by watching and recording them while they are mercilessly being killed by predators.
@@AlSaBatQAlternatively, you can just simply avoid watching the video.
@@piktureit how to rid of your video?
"He's dipping me in the water...maybe he is going to let me go..."
It'll go down easier.
Now I understand the video where the ducks were cheering an otter on as it dismembered one of these big birds.
Idk
Do you know which video it was?
Awesome. Didn’t think he’d get that chubby one down. This is no more disturbing than me feeding mealworms to my pet lizards-
It only has more dipping sauce
you arent normal
Wow so awesome video. Feel sad for the little 🐦 bird. Thanks for sharing. Instant subscribed
Whoever says birds aren’t just modern dinosaurs, isn’t really watching.
I believe in evolution but find the birds are dinosaurs thing to be a little silly. Aren't birds also single celled life, simple multicelled life, invertebrates, and fish then too.
@@joelanderson5285 I don't believe in evolution. The animals were created according to their kinds. When I watch them, I'm amazed about what kind of Creator could make such wonderful things.

How do these relatively compact ducklings fit thru dats heron's angus later on?
in nature its eat or be eaten, you take what you can get there is no telling when your next meal is coming or if you'll even be getting a next meal.
What do you mean?
arnold jack what do YOU mean by “what do you mean”? Saying that implies you don’t understand what he’s saying when it shouldn’t be hard to understand at all.
1234 well it ain’t life or death if you screw a guy over for some quick cash man- besides they aren’t even the same species. There’s no communication, no empathy (though thats mostly a human concept due to our social nature). Ducklings are just walking food- like cattle.
Death is just a natural part of the survival of a species.
I am yet to see the first human that having the opportunity to screw another human does not do it... Just nature.
1234 No. the concept of civilization is to put rest to the need to be in fight or flight all the time. Even if you’re trolling, you’re an idiot

Daddy duck is happy he doesn't have to pay child support anymore
Then the video would be an hour long, just to give the heron time to swallow the daddy ducks whole like the little ones lol
Как не подавилась! Утёнок уже большой был.
Теперь неделю есть не захочет .
Ну это природа.....
@@user-su7pg3on6q чёт не похоже, что неделю🤦🏽♀️
Heron: looks like im having duck Mcnuggets today...
Wow 😮 Amazing nature
Them birds are greedy I thought all they eat was fish. Looks like they eat anything they can get down that throat.
I think thats any big bird
All predators are opportunists. If an easy meal walks by them they take it, bird, snake, lizard, fish, rodent. Doesn’t matter, everything is food for something else in nature
@Dave ducks eat ducklings too
@Dave Herons will eat anything -why struggle searching for a fish if you got an easy meal right next to you, Deer will eat dead birds they find on the ground, Wasps love meat, Squirrels love eating baby birds, nature is just about you eating anything you can find given the opportunity -in order to survive.
@Dave "Must be a shortage of fish like crazy" -my reply is a responce to your earlier statement within the thread of comments, As youtube comments are an interactive thing.

What does dipping then in the water do? Is that just to make them easier to swallow? Or are they also trying to kill their prey faster?
Both
The sound of those birds singing in the background is priceless
It is amazing that these birds don't choke to death.

It’s the circle of life...
👍🏻...
3:42 he was thinking im not gonna wait im next
that heron dipping that duckling like it’s at a sushi restaurant
I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed
Damn, I had no clue that this bird would eat another bird, hell I thought it ate fish or something. But it is a dog eat dog kind of world we live in. R.i.P lil ducky
😭
It is an animal what do you expect? It only has a survival instinct. Humans shouldn’t eat animals because we have minds and we could survive even longer just by eating plants.
They aren't picky eaters, if it can fit down the throat then it's fair game.
@@sheogorathz 😂😂😂😂 or we should eat them cause they are delicious and we can.
I live on the lake and there's a small marsh to the side with many ducks and herons. I've never seen this before. I thought the herons just ate fish and frogs. I've seen alot of ducks with missing legs assumed it was snapping turtles guess it was probably these stone cold killers. My wife won't be so excited to see the herons role in after i show her this video lol.
it's tough no matter which way you look at it. I love ducklings but I love Herons also - and all the while Nature's orchestra of bird song continues undisturbed in the background....

Tbh i hate herons. They look disgusting
I actually never tried any of them
0:43 The perfect “Gotcha biitch!” 😂
Crazy that this video showed up in my feed.
Also crazy those baby ducks showed up in the heron's feed.
Ba-dum-tiss.
When you don,t pay the Heron tax.
This WAS the Heron tax.

Fantastic and lovely presentation Friend obrigado friend lovely presentation Friend
It's using the water as dipping sauce 🤣🤣
so sad😪
@@hridoychowdhury2956 you don't like dipping sauce?
That is quite a big ducking ..must be a few weeks old, looks like the heron is half drowning it to subdue it .
The duckling stopped struggling after a few dunkings
I got a knock on the head n was concussed and sleepy for 24 hours.
The heron noticed my absence.
she rocked up and ate every single one of dozen 10 inch goldfish,(I had them from only half n inch long.)
But guess she had nestlings to feed.
Felt so sorry for my poor fish.But heron are rarer than goldfish so I feel no ill toward her.
They can swallow whole adult ducks.
Seems like Herons eat anything that moves and fits in their stomachs.
They are very opportunistic! Which is why they are so widespread
I wonder myself if this is really nature. I ask myself if this heron and these ducks are native of that river environment or somebody once in the past added both or one of those animals. My question arises because I am used to see the hunter and prey game where both of them have some opportunities or attributes, maybe force, mabe speed, maybe a mother protection, etc. But in this case I don't see the opportunity of the prey, or a mother to defend them, just nothing, that's why I wonder if this is real irish wildlife of there is the hand of the man in this situation. Thank you.
Ducklings are an easy prey for pretty much any predator. This isn't exclusive to herons.
Is not their typical behavior since herons are adapted to effective fishing, but ducklings being much more available than fish make herons to take whatever they can.
Unreal footage!
靠!!!太殘忍了😢😢😢😢
I like how it dunks the baby ducks in the water like it’s BBQ sauce
Do herons regurgitate beak and bones and feathers etc?
I'm not sure what I like about this the most: the fact the the mother duck can't do anything about it or what the duckling must be thinking as it is about to be devoured?
Mother nature in her purest form.
Humans must stay away. Do not interfere with mother Nature. Right!!!!
1:29 "Where's the money Lebowski?! Where's the money shit head?!" Comes to mind
many people may blame the heron, but we need to know that chickens we eat are just around 40 day old.
I know ducklings are cute but herons have to feed themselves and their babies.
and lots of predators such as cats, foxes, hawks, cranes and snakes also eat ducklings occasionally.
It's just circle of life.
Great image, loving mother
*great video motherfucker
Duckling still kicking all the way down.
I know, ugh. I kept hoping in the opening of the video that duckling was dead, but I'm sure I saw kicking.
@ImpaledLad 249 in hours not secons lmao
its neck already snapped that's her heron trying to swallow
until it hits stomach acid lol
I always hated herons by our koi pond, wanted to tie it's neck in a knot.
How does it breathe with that duckling halfway down its gullet for so long?
Ask a woman, when a sausage is down her throat.. ( deepthroat )
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Why do they keep dipping them into water?
“Feathered dinosaurs aren’t scary”

@@alejandrotelarroja119 Not at all.
I'm glad you got to appreciate them! It's always great to hear someone who used to hold them in contempt, now respects or at least understands them better. : )
They truly are magnificent animals. Very smart and as you said, patient creatures. Did you know Herons will feed fish to get them to come?
They've been recorded to regurgitate a small bit of fish in water, ponds, etc to attract fish. Since many many fish eat other fish- They'll come swimming to the smell of supper only to be caught by the heron who paid a bit of its own meal to get a much bigger one. : )
ohh no... i can't join you. wild felines, many flying wild birds, wolves, snakes are hunting... I have never seen an animal species hunted so lowly. They are eating everything that goes into their mouth without limit. and many animals mistaking them for Pelicans ,there aren't running away. I give material and moral support to animal rights and protection associations and many non-governmental organizations in my country .but these are like a monsters. I hated them. Do they cause a deterioration in the ecological balance?

It's down there somewhere. Let me take another look...
