"Must be an awful job," said no one. Lol. Your organization is amazing. Everyone seems so knowledgeable and empathetic. These hawklets are beyond adorable.
Jesus Christ. The little one had a crop the size of a golfball and still it was snatching grub almost right out of the mouth of the larger one. That larger one, on the other hand, I must commend for their patience. Sure, they are well fed so competition wouldn't be expected to be fierce but still.
MyNameIsNotImportant because it’s the smaller of the two. In the wild, the grey chick would be favored by the parents. It’s instinct for the smaller chicks to try to get as much food as possible.
Just Jucc And the person doing the feeding is just as stupid as some of the parents by allowing the greedy little bastard to steal the others food as long as it wants. To me, it’s one of the reasons why some birds don’t continue to grow as they should because they aren’t fed enough to keep up with the greedy ones and falling behind in nutrients. That in turn causes the bird to grow weak and small which at times leads to the birds demise because by then, it’s too late for the little bird to overcome and catch up.
@@cassimir4u in nature, it's only and always about Survival of the fittest... It's not always about being fair and sharing your meals... That concept you have DOES NOT belong in Nature because Nature is a cruel place... The greedy chick is the one that would survive and reach adulthood if they were in the wild. They don't care about their siblings, they care about getting strong and older first and quick
Great question! The raptors we treat are all wild animals who view humans as predators. Staff limit handling and restraining patients as much as possible since they do not want to be touched by humans but in order for them to get better, they sometimes need to be handled to receive life-saving medications. We strive to keep wild birds wild and do not work to make them comfortable around humans anytime they are restrained.
Looks like meat and I seriously doubt they chop up rodents for these guys. When they got bigger, they probably fed them frozen mice that were thawed prior to serving.
Actually he/she didn't, the smaller chick is more active grabbing the meal than its bigger sibling. You know, for survival? :3 He/she fed them equally. White small chick doesn't understand patient yet but I understand... Kids do that too with their siblings xD
RAHUL KUMAR I severely doubt it, it's a vital instinct that they have in orderer to survive. Falcons NEED to eat meat and will die if they don't. If you somehow manage to erase this important part of a falcon's identity, it will be completely dependent on you for food, and if something happens that renders you unable to care for the bird it will die in the wild for sure.
Noemi Bolivar yes, you are right . but atleast we should try to do so. and if possible the falcon owner should also try to train there birds to do tricks like parrots . so that we come to know their training level
RAHUL KUMAR I think that you should look up falconry, you'd probably find it very facinating. I'm not all too familiar with the extent of what falcons can be trained to do, but I know larger birds of prey can be trained to take down drones
FORMIDABLE 👍👍J'ADORE ❤..j'ai abonné 👍 c'est bien de les nourrir chez-soi...vous les protégez de s'entre-tuer entre eux chez leur maman dans le nid.. 👍..
