It’s a hemp thrush chick in a sand thrush nest. I’m really getting the feeling that this channel takes and plants cuckoos (or so they think) into other nests for the views. They got so many views last time I would NOT be surprised if they were doing this
I agree with you - unfortunately, not everyone thinks these things thru and just believes what they are told. I could tell this chick was no parasitic chick right from the start.
@@rizal-san6848 that's easy - this particular bird is George. You never heard of George the Bird? Wow - are you ever out of the loop. He's Big Bird's cousin's neighbor's husband's brother. Geeez.
For those who are lazy to watch. The bird left the nest on its own at 4:35 . At 2:28 it attempted to leave but returned to the nest. Afterwards you still can hear its calls when parent came back to feed the nestlings.
The parasitic bird when tried the first run away & came back to the nest was like "hey my pseudo siblings, you look so pathetic, but am gonna stay here a bit longer as it's not time yet".
I don’t understand why the parents don’t just yeet them out of the nest once they know it isn’t one of their’s… I’ve seen parents do worse to their late offspring than to parasites. So boggling.
Some species of parasitic birds, once they've laid their eggs in another nest, will stick around to see if the hosts reject the egg or chick. If it is rejected, they may opt to wipe out the entire nest in retaliation, forcing the host birds to start another brood and losing all the time and resources they've devoted to the now-destroyed nest. The host birds may simply be opting for the best chance of survival for its current nestlings.
@jharrison3873 after hearing that. I might not be mad if people started killing these birds like they kill invasive species. Ohh look. A cuckoo bird. Lets shoot 50 of them while we at it. Donate 1 dollar to plant 1 tre~*wrong word* donate 1 dollar to shoot one cuckoo bird. How you do the dieed doesn't matter whether you shoot em, stomp em, drown em doesn't matter as long as you getting rid of this invasive parasitic bird 👹
It's not so simple. The parasyte parent will stick around, and if their chick is killed or abandoned, it will destroy the nest. Sometimes will destroy the defiant host's future nests as well, as an example to other potential hosts. It's called Mafia Principle and it's a behavior the parasytes evolved to fight back the hosts fighting them back.
i was wanting the same thing in another video where the cuckoo bird keep begging and poking at the mother and father , i wish when the mom took the poop she would put it in it's mouth so maybe it would shut up for a minute or choke to death on it !!
In the perspective of the baby parasite bird, he doesnt know he was left there. He he thinks the feeder are his real parents who just stop loving him (feeding him)
Don't pity that monster imagine if you have a larger sibling who eats more than they need to and steals your food and you start starving. some brood parasites don't care they'll stab their adoptive siblings in order to get ahead
also it attacks the mother and also in previous videos blocked and i think even attack their sibblings, parasite still parasite, and they are lucky it didn't murder or drop off the other baby birds. not the mother bird responsbility to take care of someone who isn't their child and that was planted to take advantage of her.
That it has three toes forward (and not two) shows it not to be a cuckoo, but a passerine of some kind (and it just doesn't look like a cuckoo). So I wonder what it actually is. Quite apart from that I don't know what the main family of birds in this series are.
It's a Hemp Thrush chick, this is a Sand Thrush nest. Majority believes that it was either found or taken and placed in the nest as it just seemed to show up one day, it's like a week older too which put the real babies under an unfair dis advantage.. hopefully the parents stop feeding it and know it's not theirs.
@@shirojaki2063 Thanks for the answer. I have some books about Asian birds but I don't find Hemp Thrush or Sand Thrush in these books. So that is odd. I assume this is in Asia because the writing on the top looks like Mandarin or similar. Maybe it is not in Asia at all or just not in the part of Asia covered by my books.
@@adotintheshark4848 I don't know the full range of possibilities. As I am in Australia. A quick search suggests that cowbirds are in America but this appears to come from Asia. So that makes it unlikely. Some comments below suggest that there was some human action that lead to this. So that makes it even harder to work it out.
@@Ixion-1337 hahaha yeah, the baby's organs can't process the nutrients in the food very well, so especially for the reaaaally young chicks, the poo still has a lot of nutrients. Parents will gobble it up because of that.
@@feleepe ohhh..😲 now it makes sense. I bet this is where the phrase ‘one's garbage is another man's treasure’ came from😂 Thx for the info have a nice day!😊
That sweet little bird was stolen from another nest. It’s not a cuckoo nor a parasite. It was confused as to where it was and begged for food, as all chicks do. He left bc he realized he was not in the correct nest and probably died bc of it. Shame on this channel! His little chirps are so adorable.
No, such chicks never "voluntarily leave," especially not before they've become fully fledged and are at least a "brancher," which I doubt is the case here. The "voluntarily leaving" is an inaccurate claim, and simply does not occur in the cases of "imposter" chicks in nests of species which are the targets of parasitism. What's more likely here is that the imposter chick was on the perimeter of the nest and either fell below the nest and perished, was caught and killed by a predator, or it fell through the branches below the nest and was cared for on lower branches or the ground by the foster parents. What does occur naturally? - imposter egg/chick ejected from nest by parent bird - imposter is victim of predation - imposter egg/chick accidently falls out of nest
This isn't brood parasitism, though. It's click baitism. The 'imposter' bird was placed there by the channel owner for youtube revenue's sake, and is not a typical brood parasite, which is why the other chicks survived. It's not nearly as bad as the people who abuse puppies before 'saving them' or glue a bunch of stuff on the backs of turtles before 'removing the barnacles,' but it's along those lines. See an animal video from an asian-based channel with lots of high-click animal content? Chances are the animals are being manipulated/abused to get that content.
@@ytadventurer9170 I debunked the claim, and you illustrated why the claim was made. Teamwork! I've seen the horrible torture videos of men holding a kingfisher species by its head, forcing the body to wildly dangle. They had jammed its bill into a banana stalk, claiming that "this hummingbird slammed into a tree," something that doesn't happen, and then pretended to "rescue" it by pulling its beak back out and tossing the now dead or near-dead bird over onto the ground. Yes, people torture and abuse animals on platforms like these for attention and money. It's partly why I make an effort to debunk their abusive fraud so other people start to realize it, too. I'm glad you are also doing so by warning people about this particularly abusive clickbait. One thing I did on the horrifying kingfisher abuse video was to report it to YT and encourage others to do the same. It's the very least I could do to bring some sort of closure to that bird's needless suffering.
@@ytadventurer9170 why is it "not as bad"? Because it's a bird and not a puppy? It's abuse that will likely lead to the death of the bird, or perhaps to it never being able to mate with its own kind due to being raised by the wrong species
There are many different species of cuckoo that may look different but are still brood parasites. For example, koels look nothing like the common cuckoo but are still parasites. Different parts of the worlds have different cuckoos so it may not be the cuckoo you are used to. Also this bird has tried to push off its nest mates in previous videos, which is cuckoo behavior. Cuckoos have killed a lot of nestmates and these ones survived because the recorder kept putting them back. Look up the video “the cuckoo bird was exhausted and rescued two small birds back to their nest” by the same author, for example, and you will see cuckoo trying to kill or sabatoge the others, which get rescued.
But he must have been fed as he hed geown to fledgeling. Also, the parent bird and his offsprings were not small so that was likely the reason that the parasite was not able to push them out of he nest.
I have no pity for cuckoo birds. They will kill their nestmates by kicking them off or kicking away their eggs. "It's in their nature." Doesn't mean I have to like it. I'm a human being, I can freely reflect on 'natural' behaviors and oppose them if I don't like them. I'll bet you have a different reaction when a dog or a cat is in a lion pen getting ripped apart. Then it's a "tragedy." We can not like the things that happen in nature, what happens in nature isn't a warrant for us to do whatever we want as many degenerate groups have pushed in the last 20 years.
The manipulation of the subject birds is akin to the abuse of the people in the circus freak shows, though the birds would have normal lives if not co-opted for likes by less-than-human 'humans '.
NOT A CUCKOO. Among other things, the mouth is the wrong color. Actually, it looks very similar to the other chicks. Probably related. -Cuckoo’s mouths are scarlet, the red is that strong.
Aqui no brasil ainda nao ouvi falar desse passaro mas ai nesse nihno a comida nao esta distribuida por igual tenho sabias e bombinha do mato elas sao marronzinhas e vejo todos os filhotes tem alimentacao igual e desenvolvem logo nao morre nenhum isso ai e injusto
Im Late but here is it anyway: Some birds like cuckoos will will go to another birds nest,kick out one of the eggs and lay their OWN egg there.The cuckoos egg will hatch earlier and KICK the eggs and babies from the real mom away to get all the food.So that’s why they get branded as parasites,they steal the food from the other babies,grow up,lay their own egg in another birds nest and let them do all the dirty work(incubation,feeding,etc) The baby cuckoos basically have evolved this way to kick out other eggs from the real mom to be the only one fed.
The bird is called a parasitic bird. It kills it's siblings early at birth by throwing them out of the nest. The chicks are old enough that the parents recognize it's not their baby and is instinctively irate hungry and fratricidal when it feels it's not getting the attention it needs to strive soon after hatching.
@@smilessl597 that’s not this bird, that’s a cuckoo and cuckoo’s are much bigger than this. This bird was most likely planted In another nest by humans (as this bird isn’t known to be parasitic) and this is the result
I feel bad for the cookoo bird. People seem to legitimately despise this bird for simply existing and having an innate desire to live and survive. It's not like the cookoo chose to be a parasitic bird and be hatched in this nest, it's just trying to survive.
Sure it's not like a tick wants to suck your blood and not care what disease it will give you but let's just live in the reality of a disney film hope my dreams don't get crushed
@@hadbetterdays8118Are you implying that a tick is capable of higher thought and willingly chooses to do what it consciously knows is considered immoral or...?
@@nugget4yearsago518 I'm saying that this person doesn't understand parasites and is too sensitive to understand them like imagine your parents get tricked into adopting a kid and this demon child eats all your food forcing you and your siblings to get emaciated or worse get silently assaulted by domestic violence
I think he thinks someone came by and was throwing like food or bird food on the ground or something and got it to come out but no that bird yall seen wasnt s cuckoo or was a fully developed bird that goes into nests and gets free food so it doesn't have to hunt that is what it does and once it is found and or killed or is full it leaves
