Not only they don't choke even when the food is the same size as them but as soon as they hear the mom coming, they start begging with their mouths wide open in spite of having the rest of the last meal clearly obstructing their throats barely letting them produce any sound. Outstanding! 😂😂😂😂
When we swallow food we have a little flap that closes off our windpipe but birds don't have that! So they can breathe and take their sweet time swallowing half a frog
They can choke very easily if you don't know how to feed them. Mom birds are experts ofc and their beaks are perfect for feeding so it happens rarely in nature.
For the ones thinking mama has a favorite bird and is always feeding the same one in front. The babies don't stay in one spot. Your not seeing the same baby bird in the same spot they move around.
For everyone wondering: the 2 in the back are fine since they're the same size as the 2 in the front =) and they're not feathers they're insects and their wings look like feathers when crushed
Here’s some fun facts about baby birds : 1. Even if they aren’t hungry, they will always chirp and open their mouths instinctively. The mother bird knows when the chick is full when they no longer swallow the food she gives. 2. Baby birds have a hard structure on their beak called an egg tooth that helps them break out of their eggs.
Never again will I think that I’m a terrible bird mom when I give a chick I’m tending to a slightly bigger than a pea sized dallop of food and think, “the mom would be so much better at this.”
Mama bird - I brought home this frog, one of you is going to eat this damn thing, even if you choke to death on it! This seriously makes me appreciate how handy and quick access to human baby food is. Just pop in a nipple and sit back and relax.
I’d like to think the baby bird getting fed the most in this video isn’t actually Mama birds favorite, because she chooses a different one to give most of the food to every day. I could definitely be wrong though, I just want to think this is a good Mama bird.
It's insects not feathers haha But she knows what she is doing...some are a bit big lol but they don't have teeth to make them smaller so she hopes it just fits in their mouth.
Esse vídeo é muito lindo, é de encher os olhos.... Obrigada por compartilhar conosco. Parabéns pelo belo trabalho. Eu não me canso de olhar. É muita emoção meu Deus que coisa mais linda a criação....
Usually, in nature, the ones who hatch first, are larger , and Scream the most are the most probable to reach adulthood so the mother invests more on them. It's possible that the one on the back was younger and/or smaller than the rest.
I always put out extra bird food in the spring to feed the baby birds. I buy worms for mom to feed babies. I put out fruit and sunflower seeds. At end of spring they all disappear to find their on food. Its hard for birds to feed this many young birds. Nature is so beautiful with all our bird friends.
Dude...the attempt at getting one of her brood to finally take that frog in and successfully swallow it during feeding time was truly epic. It seemed like it was three minutes of the video's run time. There was attempt after attempt. The small frog was...well, small, but with such a young nest of chicks...it was just big enough that it proved troublesome for each of the chicks at a given time. Mom touched the beak of each chick, several times, and it was failure after failure. Finally, she got it into the larger chick's beak, positioned it 'right' for swallowing, and after several attempts to work the frog down, all while taking multiple breaks...mid-swallow, mind you...to catch its breath, it felt like we might finally have success. So, here we are, still in suspense, even after mom had lost patience and jumped ship, when big chick gave it one last attempt. There she was...with frog in mouth, on the verge of complete exhaustion...panting like a fat guy walking a flight of stairs...when it all seemed so hopeless. But, if you looked closely, you could see it: a tiny bit of progress. Yep, I see it...the frog's stomach beginning to disappear. Big chick is putting everything she has into it... it's a last attempt. At this point, you're rooting for big chick. You look again..more progress. Now, the frog's body has seemingly disappeared into big chick. You take one more look, and along with pure exhaustion, you're left with the sight of nothing but a pair of tiny frog legs as the last bit of evidence of the mighty struggle that has become legendary.
é interessante como se comporta a natureza ver um pássaro com todo cuidado trazendo alimentos pros seus filhotes não se cansa tem todo cuidado limpa seu ninho é lindo de ver mais também uma fome da mísera
Sadly that's how nature works. Survival of the fittest. Taking care of few strong ones is easier for the mother rather than taking care of an entire bunch where the weaklings could put even the stronger ones in danger.
@@stephaniemay5216 that's so sad, but totally understandable when you give birth to 6 to 7 creatures at a time. Lucky für us we have just one or two at a time and it requires every inch of energy you have 😥
Them popping up like that looks like those time lapse videos of flowers blooming. She slammed that frog down its gullet like "HERE, ya greedy glutbag!!"
The mother eats their feases to clean the nest for them in order to block the breeding of worms in it. From where is this intelligence coming into her head. It is amazing.
