If the runt is not going to survive, it's a waste of energy. Is it cruel? Yes, but the bird will do whatever is needed to make sure the babies survive, even if it means sacrificing 1 or 2.
It’s already dying in this video what are you talking about „let it live“. It is too weak to raise its head, it will starve 100% can’t even swallow anything at this point.
This nest the guy added the 3 chicks from the nest that got kicked out by the cuckoo chick, that’s why the chicks are 2 different sizes. 3 are larger and 3 are the same small size. The parents are trying to only feed the three larger ones that are theirs. The 3 small ones are not their chicks. That’s why the first video of this nest is after the 3 chicks got pushed out of the cuckoo nest and the parent birds look confused because now there are 3 chicks that weren’t there before. If you go back in this video feed these are reposted.
The dad left because you interfered and stuck three chicks from another nest that were not theirs. Now this poor mother is burdened with chicks that are hers and from another nest by herself
No one noticed around 1:32 how he just tossed the tiny one back in the nest and let the baby roll? This whole chicks abandoned situation is manufactured. Tired of this,I love bird videos, it's disappointing
Es claro que el mas pequeno, queda aplastado por los mayores. Y no tiene oportunidad, debe perecer por el bien de la especie. Los pajaros, por eso ponen muchos huevos, y no van a desperdiciar energia alimentando a los debiles. Los pajaros son un ejemplo de tenaciadad e inteligencia natural, para mantener en pie a los mejores, a los fuertes. En la vida asi funciona, los mas fuertes deben anular a los debiles, para que no consuman recursos.
