[@gaygengar]

since so many of the comments were claiming that the eggs were actually the bird's own eggs or that the chick in the nest was a cuckoo bird that had already hatched, i took it upon myself to do a quick bit of research. the mother bird shown in the video is called a red-whiskered bulbul, native to Asia. the eggs in the nest were most definitely NOT those of a red-whiskered bulbul, as their eggs are heavily speckled. so no, the mother was not pushing her own eggs out of the nest. the chick in the nest also looks like a young red-whiskered bulbul, as the juveniles lack the red cheeks like the parents. most baby birds look almost nothing like the adult bird. the baby bird in the nest is likely not a cuckoo and is in fact a baby red-whiskered bulbul. as for if the eggs in the nest were a cuckoo's eggs, i'm not entirely sure but it's definitely possible. cuckoo eggs can vary wildly in appearance and they often mimic the appearance of the bird eggs that the cuckoo is trying to parasitize. obviously the eggs in the nest look nothing like a red-whiskered bulbul, but it could be that they are a cuckoo's eggs and that the cuckoo who laid them there usually parasitizes the nest of a different kind of bird. that would explain why the eggs don't look similar to the bulbul's if the cuckoo's eggs aren't even supposed to look like that particular species. i will say though, cuckoos typically only lay 1 egg in a host's nest. since there are 2 eggs in the nest in the video, this makes me suspect that the person who filmed this may have placed them there to see what the mother bird would do. in that case, i have no idea what kind of eggs they are. i'm not saying this is definitely the case, but it's certainly a possibility. TLDR: • bird in the video is a red-whiskered bulbul •the eggs in the nest definitely do not belong to it •the baby in the nest is likely also a red-whiskered bulbul •eggs in the nest might be a cuckoo's eggs, but also could have been placed there by a human thanks for your time ✌️👍

I live in Sydney. Over the last few weeks I’ve been regularly deafened by two hungry cuckoos whose poor ‘mother’ (a magpie) is smaller than them and struggling to meet their demands for food. So, in this case I’m watching daily, it’s certainly possible to have two in the one nest.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, the yellow warbler is the only local bird that can recognize cuckoo eggs and will either throw them out or abandon the nest and build a new one.

[@Akira625]

I’m not convinced those are cuckoo eggs. The eggs of brood parasites tend to hatch much earlier than the other eggs. I think those are the bulbul’s own eggs that never hatched.

[@tarow1369]

That was cuckoos egg. Bulbuls egg is very small and red. The reason that it didnt hatch is because of her behaviour, she barely spend time incubating the eggs after the first one hatched. U can see her behaviour in other videos too. But ofcourse she isnt aware that was a cuckoos egg. She only knows that it is a dead egg, and tossed it out.

Parent bird doing an excellent job tending and feeding the hatchling. For those put off by the parent's handling of baby bird droppings: Parent birds don't actually swallow (to eat) the droppings, which are encased in a special sac lining, but instead, the parent holds it either in their crop or their bill. The parent then exits the nest, flies a distance, and disposes of the droppings elsewhere. This is a technique (fecal sac removal) which passerine birds use to keep nests clean (prevent parasites from infesting the nest and chicks) and deter predators by disguising the location of their nest. Otherwise, if a predator saw or smelled the droppings, it would be an indicator that a vulnerable chick is up in a nest, making it a target. Birds are truly amazing! I see a ripening tomato 🍅 right beside the nest; am betting the kindly humans will let that tomato go and wait for the next so as not to disturb the feathered family 😉

Knowing more than someone doesn't particularly matter when what you know is inaccurate.

[@darketernal3]

Those are not cuckoo eggs. The cuckoo scopes out their mark while the nest is being built and lays their egg when first available. The egg almost always hatches first. The hen here is doing housekeeping with the excess eggs. It doesn't see them as parasitic eggs but rather debris. If they were, she would crack them before she ejected them or eat them. Housekeeping is also for unfertilized eggs or duds that didn't properly develop. She gets rid of them before they start to rot. Judging by the feathers on the hatchling, it's about 5-7 days old. Any eggs not already hatched probably won't.

Are the parents... eating its POOP?! also lol, wrekt. phosphorous for the garden anyone?! lets just hope the cuckoo doesn't come back and kill the baby in revenge! Also that shaking of its head makes it look like the baby is seizing! I know its not but... wow creepy.

[@rzwn1]

NEVER knew parent birds eat hatchlings poo 😳

[@arriesone1]

They don’t, see interesting comment above.

[@catscanhavelittleasalami]

They spit it out afterwards, further away from the nest.

[@robotnikkkk001]

​@@catscanhavelittleasalami =NOPE,THEY'RE ACTUALLY EATING POOPS!!!!!!BECAUSE OF POOPS HAVE LOTS OF STUFF THAT WASNT DIGESTED BY HATCHLING AND STILL CONTAIN LOTS OF NUTRIENTS!!!! =TRULY DISGUSTING............................REALLY...................

They do and they don't.

I was looking to see if anyone else commented on that. I didn't know either and it was a little disturbing 😅

cuckoo: am i your kid? mother: no cuckoo: nooo mother: you are rejected

[@lovelymadness92]

That was a cuckoo baby already hatched though wasn't it?

[@Foxypirate20]

The baby you see is the true baby bulbul. Cuckoo baby's have a yellow-orangeish beak and same as there inside. The baby bulbul inside of their mouths have different colors. The bulbul has more of a redish inside. There are others ways you can tell but I don't know how to explain with words.

[@chandranapier2259]

@@Just_shush_now bulbul eggs look nothing like cuckoo eggs. Cuckoo eggs do not always hatch first, it’s just that hatching first is needed for the brood parasite to survive. Cuckoos get timing wrong all the time and get rejected by birds who destroy their eggs because quite a few birds will push eggs out that don’t hatch on time, thinking they are dead.

[@chandranapier2259]

@@Just_shush_now are we looking at the same eggs? Bulbul eggs are red speckled.

I'M SO FREAKED OUT RN. CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN WTF IS GOING ON AT AROUND 0:32??? Wtf is that pink opening on the chick's back, and why does it pulsate, what the fuck is coming out of it and the mothers eating it???? Wtf???

[@nightforest1693]

Basically the poop is in a sac that the mother bird doesn’t eat but throws away after flying a few miles, I’m not a bird expert but that’s what others are saying in the comment section plus that pink hole on the baby bird is probably its butthole

[@michaelclark6109]

Neat video right up until that momma bird ate poop straight from baby birds butthole. Reading through comments I was educated that momma bird actually holds the poop in her throat until away from the nest, so as not to alert predators. This is even more disgusting. Each poop has to pass through her throat twice. Nature is beautiful.

[@mightyginza3182]

But this baby cheek has such a big appetite... mouth always ajar 😂

[@steffie0383]

She fed that kid a tomato!!! 😳 it was as big as him!!

[@Native2Earth]

The way the mother bird immediate ate the poop from the baby made me almost puke 🤢

[@Terrakinetic]

6:28 Just throw it out! Why do you have to eat it!?

[@nightforest1693]

The bird doesn’t eat it it just carries it in it’s beak and flies away some distance before throwing it away. According to some people in the comments, hoped I helped

[@zachariah1991]

I couldn’t stop watching that babies birds poop shoot

[@markuse3472]

I LOVE IT! I am so happy some birds recognize the filth and rids their nest of them.

GOD GIVEN INSTINCT

Hm cant confirm whether the bird feels angry, its all natural instinct. Aren cuckoo eggs bigger than the own? How did u get closeup without scaring them? To the poster*

Birds here in Sweden have begun doing this allso. Cuckoo are in recline as fewer and fewer are hatching. They may never fully dissapere, but there are not many left.

[@beastmaster0934]

Too bad cuckoos have learned to watch the nests of the birds they parasitize, and if the mother bird expels the cuckoo’s eggs, the cuckoo will come back and destroy the nest.

[@trashman11]

No, coocoos don’t do that, that’s a cowbird
