For anyone that's confused. Most larger birds lay a clutch of eggs then slowly get rid of the hatchlings til there is usually 1-2. The resources needed to bring the chick's to full maturity are very extensive and if the parents don't make the number of babies low then they risk starving all of them to death.
@@spino-tinodon1146 I believe swans, and eagles "on majority" have relied on having a large number of chicks and raising them all because of natural predators, which the larger birds have very few of.
Why they do it does not answer the question why they do it in such a horrible way. I guess it's simply because they don't have the ability to do it in any other way. The goal of killing seems to be clear, but the actions to achieve this seem to be random.
Birds especially storks, living in wilderness find out the weak and unhealthy chicks that cannot survive competing with others. So, they cull out those chicks and push away from the nest. If the nests are near any riverside, the falling chicks will be eaten by crocodiles, turtles or fishes waiting in the river under these nest-borne trees.
What you are observing is actually exclusive to Storks, and only to specific pairs, and I believe that it's actually a neurological disease - possibly caused by man made inbreeding over the centuries. They typically kill their entire healthy broods with plenty of food around, and it's been observed that it seems to be especially cruelly done - they're right. It's a form of psychopathy. All other birds have a pretty consistent and logical way of dealing with a lack of food or disease. Storks act largely outside of that and I don't think just being 'Stork' is the explanation. I think it's so common now that conservancy groups just assume that somehow this is normal and they continue to fight uphill against this - they are perpetuating a fatal genetic flaw without realizing it.
It would appear that this is some sort of disorder, bad genes, common in Storks. They kill their own entire, healthy broods after torturing them for hours. I think we've run into a wall where conservancy groups and scientists have unwittingly helped propagate a genetic disorder mistaking it for some healthy action we just didn't understand. Turns out that, what I suspect are actually healthy, pairs of Storks within the same species never exhibit behavior like this at all under any circumstance which means it isn't a natural instinct. Whereas they are scratching their heads as to why some pairs torture their entire brood for days when they are healthy, with plenty of food, and no environmental trigger. There isn't a reason behind it, it's a neurological disorder.
Storks usually don't have a reason why, I find it very likely that what we are witnessing and thinking is just 'nature' is actually a malignant genetic problem common in Storks that leads to psychosis. No other birds exhibit this behavior, it happens when they are healthy with plenty of food and no environmental factors. I bet if I dig some history up, I will find that storks were commonly bred, sold, and transported as decor which could explain the prevalence of this neurosis in the Stork family.
I don't think they were protesting. They instinctively assume its food the way the parent handles it. Its tragic how quickly they can forget that's their sibling and view it as dinner.
Las cigüeñas se deshacen de algunas de sus crías...y da.mucha pena verlo.Màs pena ver como hay personas que hacen algo parecido con sus hijos antes de nacer... Y pensar cuantas làgrimas perdidas por madres que anhelan tener un hijo sin poder lograrlo!...
A lot of people have noticed that there are a lot of storks killing their entire broods cruelly and for no reason. I think it's like with pitbulls, spider ball pythons, and pandas - it's a genetic failure that is common in storks. I wonder if we have had a hand in the perpetuation of what should largely be a self-terminating neurosis because they are pretty birds.
@@Starry2000Some humans abuse, kill and torture their own offspring as well. They say its a learned behavior, but certainly genetics and personality plays a part too.
@1:30 after throwing the baby down she slowly turning her head towards all the chicks probably saying, now which one of y'all bad ass wanna join Billy? I thought so, now F all these mess he made. Pecking out all Billy's toys and throwing it out the nest too. Shheeeeeessss, Stork is wild
I know it’s hard to notice, and the shock of what was going on makes you think “oh god how horrible” but if you watch the beginning again, you can see the other chicks are up and ready for food and the other one is still laying down, the mother checks first and lifts the chick off the ground and it stumbles and looks like it’s going to fall over again, and the mother puts it out of its misery, because 1 the chick will starve to death, or 2 easily get eaten by prey or 3 won’t learn how to fly and will die there anyways.. it’s sad, but it’s the way nature goes. ( I don’t know why this is in my feed though LOL)
So the chick took like what, 5 seconds to smack the ground? Assuming the stork weighed 2.5 lbs (maybe 3 lbs?), approximately how far of a fall was that?
What a disgusting comment. So if you think the weak and sick should go, I guess you think victims of war should go too as they require special care? Seriously, we ALL are weak and sick sometimes. You may end up getting cancer yourself. Maybe then you won't be able to cure it. Do you think you should go so the healthy ones can thrive? lol
Взрослые птицы зорко следят за своими птенцами, выбрасывая из гнезда всех слабых и больных. По данным Д. Лэку (1957), инстинкт абортирования части отложенных яиц или вылупившихся птенцов - это приспособление, позволяющее привести размер семьи в соответствие с количеством наличной пищи. В Беловежской пуще выбрасывают птенцов почти 30 % аистов, причем иногда уничтожаются даже все птенцы выводка. На выбрасывание родителями из гнезда приходится примерно 41,9 % случаев гибели птенцов белого аиста
I do not believe that every chick thrown from the nest is sick! Why then do they sometimes devour their chicks? Would they do that with a sickened baby? I think it’s just inbred in these birds to be cruel to 1, 2 or all of their chicks because sometimes they’ll throw out the largest and the smallest, one after another!
In nature, humans are the strange ones because we DON'T throw out our weaker young. This kind of behavior is more wide-spread in the animal kingdom than you might think. I saw a video on here the other day where a lion club was abandoned by its mother and siblings because it was sickly and couldn't keep up.
Some HAVE done this, the Spartans, for example. Others do so within a parameter of legalized rationalization, such as the nebulous thinking behind allowing late term abortion. If the LEGAL end of personhood is brain death, why can’t the legal BEGINNING book end that with brain life? Of course, the brain develops slowly enough as to make pinpointing a point of minimum transition tricky. Some might want to push it back to the very beginning of the nervous system, at about 3 weeks, others might argue for when the first generation of permanent brain cells has completely been established in the cerebellum, at about 8 weeks. But why can’t the 8 be declared the absolute minimum we can all agree on for personhood if the brain death law makes sense on the other end of life? It at least speaks well of most humans that we don’t capitulate to the normalization of infanticide easily, even when we still tragically struggle to define what it is and what it isn’t.
@@eldermillennial8330 human pregnancy is long and difficult and mostly ends with one offspring. I am sure humans would be less forgiving if we had laid eggs :P
This behavior is actually limited to Storks and not seen in any other bird that I'm aware of. They kill their own healthy brood, there is no consistent methodology behind it, or disposal, or reason why. Food is plentiful, chicks healthy, same parents, no environmental stress, until one day they randomly kill the entire nest. In other birds it is usually a case of the weakest, youngest chick perishing from disease or hunger due to lack of food and usually then they are cannibalized to provide for other nestlings. This is just random and pointless, usually dragged out, killing of the chicks here with Storks. People have noticed that there seems to be almost some kind of malice and it could be the equivalent of psychopathy. I am 99% it is neurological problems in the parents that cause this and it is a self-terminating trait. Some animals simply have these and nature eliminates them, like they would have with Pandas, et al, and would arguably have with these Storks which are usually being bred and protected by people.
@Starry2000 at the end of the video you can see the mother stork clearing the nest, probably to remove the disposed off chicklet's excretes. This could be a sign that the chicklet was infected and sickly, through instinct the mother stork eliminated the threat possed to other healthy chicklets by getting rid of it. Chances of rearing the remaining chicklets to adult storks increases by a magnitude, because of that seemingly heartless unmotherly act.
Those storks are some real mean sob’s but atleast this one killed that chicklet quickly. It’s just too bad there’s no camera at the bottom of the tree.
CPS worker > Ok ma'am , can you run that by me one more time so I can get a better understanding of what took place. Momma Stork > Well , it's like I said , we were all in the living room enjoying family time and little Johnny must have wondered off. The next thing I know I hear a scream and a loud thud and my baby was.....dead.
Я давно читал в журнале Охота...что у соболей, куниц и пподобных зверьков , в голодный неблагоприятный год, у самок в утробе растущий плод рассасывается до начального уровня, что бы родиться в благоприятное время.Вот это Природа! Или Бог так чудесно запрограммировал.Еслиб у людей так было, то вероятно уже мы бы вымерли.У нас всегда в@на, то в семье, то на улице , то меж ..государствами А сколь бедствий других.Бедные люди. Выглянул ребенок-- нет не нравиться мне жизнь сейчас! И спрятался😁😆
У какой то птицы может быть прокормлен только один птенец. Если их двое, то один другого старается выпихнуть из гнезда. Вот так младенцы вступают в смертную хватку.
What are you talking about?! There were four of them. Parents commonly feed clutches of three! Apparently, four were too many, but they can definitely feed more than "one".
your excitement over death and rejection is sickening, yes it happens....but when grandma dies, you don't rush in the room and say Grandma died! (exclamation point).
Really strange behaviour. Perhaps because of a mental disorder of the mother. Or because this little one is sick and may pass the enemy on to the brothers, because the mother, after getting rid of him, started cleaning his place in the nest. Or because this little one stands out in the nest and pollutes the place, which made her get rid of him so that he does not infect his brothers with diseases, and the evidence is that after getting rid of him, she started cleaning his place. Or for lack of food, she wanted to reduce the number of family members. Or for some other reason we don't know yet. And this is my humble analysis of this strange behavior .... Since my childhood I hope to work in the field of protecting migratory birds
@@KostyaTM I see that someone else is suspicious of this being a mental disorder. I believe that with Storks, it is in fact a mental disorder. Probably the result of centuries of people inbreeding them, but maybe not.
@@madamm2026 Yeah, three others were standing and alert while that fourth one was "resting" and laying down. Likely ill and the stork parent just wasn't having it.
Il faut savoir que chez les cigognes quand un petit est pas bien. La cigognes va jeter le petit par dessus le nid. C'est courant malheureusement. Il faut aussi savoir c'est aussi une protection pour les autres petits. C'est pour éviter les prédateurs.
