I've seen this quite a few times.. Eagles bringing other raptor chicks to the nest alive and then leaving. It really must be for the purpose of showing their young how to kill their dinner. From all the resources that I've read.. Parents don't actively teach.. The "Littles" just learn from power of example. I think mom could have crushed this little fluffer with one Talon in a second.. Why didn't she? 😔 Thank your for the warning.. Very appreciated by this heart ♥
I always thought hyenas and wild dogs are the cruelest to the animals they eat alive but I think these birds of prey take the cake when it comes to the cruelty level of eating their prey alive
Fascinating ... I had no problem watching it. That's Nature in action. Only we humans have sensibilities. I have seen lions feeding from the hind area of a live zebra and live warthogs torn to bits by hungry lions.
I'm aware of the general rule that humans only have sensibilities.. I've just seen too many examples of raptor /animal behavior that demonstrate otherwise. It may be fleeting and ONLY IN SOME NESTS.. but caring/kindness/reverence is most definetely a part of the evolved aviary New world order.. 🤗 You are correct.. The chick was eaten alive... 😶
I thought it was just the eagle trying to feed her young but she torments that Hawklet when she could have killed it fast she played with it I don't understand that part
If I ever find eagle nest I'm taking all the eggs and Eaglet and taking it home raising them and infront of the 1st born I will make him watch as I turn his brothers into scrambled eggs until it's their turn to be turned into a eagle Ceasars salad and post it all on youtube for views this is my nature so "it's all fair game"
Fascinating they have projectile shit so they shit outside of the nesting center! As far as the dinner oops I mean main course is being feed alive to get the Eagle Chicks to feed living prey! Pretty neat! But she still had to rip it apart and feed them but they are learning!
