With eagles, not enough food? Seems a strange thing. I would be more inclined to think a sick or weak sibling.

[@karentheis3690]

The female can’t keep up with providing food and defending the nest from predators, the male disappeared and there is no protection

[@fidelaromo6705]

​@karentheis3690 you guys always say this , when the siblings. Attack And a few days later the male eagle appears, so it must be that mom isn't protecting its younger chick , For many reasons

[@johnny2stax]

I know it's nature and that this is common but I am surprised researches/environmentalist don't get involved if an eagle has 3 babies

[@ASMRJudge1]

Definitely encouraged by the parent. It's called sibling clutch reduction. When there isn't enough food, the parents will ignore the violence and intentionally feed the aggressor, allowing the aggressor to reduce the number of mouths to feed

[@fidelaromo6705]

Animal kingdom. Right there , some people want , raptors or animals ,to act with human emotions, sometimes humans act , animalistic,

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

They always ignore the violence even in times of good food. They just have a total policy of non-intervention. It is possible as you mentioned that sometimes the behavior is subtly encouraged by the way they handle food delivery although there's some debate.

[@Nomadrockz]

I wonder even if with this behaviour they didn't Instinct after dinosaurs.there is nothing glorious about these birds flying high in the sky when u see them behaving as low as these birds are bad examples for life on earth..

[@barbararohl3299]

Benjamin Franklin, one of the leading intellectuals of his time, a polymath, had opinion of this predator, the bald eagle, calling it a "Bird of bad Moral Character"....considering they along with their fellow predators, hawks and owls are fellow cannibals even from their earliest moments after hatching, his opinion is quite apt.

​@@fidelaromo6705why not? It is the norm for siblings to attack each other and these kind of species. Mother didn't do anything wrong here. Don't judge an eagle's behavior based on human norms. You don't have to kill multiple times a day just to survive

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@fidelaromo6705Yes some people are trying to argue that the non-intervention from the parent only happens in times of food crisis but pretty sure non-intervention of sibling disputes is the norm amongst most eagles. It wouldn't even occur to them to interview me because behavior is so normal. I understand why humans look at it the way they do

[@vicki2r607]

you know how they catour to the big ones how the hell the litteral ones have a chance when the parents are behind the first born they give them twice the food some get none first feeding

[@Veteran61]

It is badly hurt. I don’t think it’s gonna make it. Mother nature could be so cruel. It took such a long time for the second egg to hatch. The size difference is so evident. Remember there was one eagle last season that raised three of them but she had lots of fish to feed them. When they were born, so close to each other.

[@vicki2r607]

what I find interestering is the parents don't do crap about how the smaller birds are bullied

[@ASMRJudge1]

The parents won't kill their own chicks, but when food is scarce they'll depend on the strongest to "clutch reduction" aka reducing the number of mouths to feed. The chick killed will provide food for the killer. Nature is brutal, and too many watching it are in denial, make excuses, or try to silence the reality.

[@伊達直人-f2h]

[@antont.wesley5232]

This is simply instinctive avian behavior when there is insufficient food. Fratricide is common among raptors. The two smaller chicks are fed to the oldest, strongest chick. In this way, one chick survives, rather than all three being lost. Sentiment has no place in an eagle's nest.

[@eileenjones3918]

Then why do we protect them if they don't protect their own.....Our instinct should be IF YOU DON'T THEN WE DON'T.....Sentiment has no place in a human world as far as RAPTOR'S GO ! If we go hungry then we should eat them . RIGHT ? All life is worth something if not then why bother?

[@barbarakolodzieski944]

I thought only 2 eaglets. There’s 3. The 2nd oldest is the aggressor, he attacked the older one too when I fast forward to see how the younger was handling it.

[@Butterfly-mt5ml]

That's interesting. Just like the Cowlitz Osprey nest, the younger chick became the aggressor and ultimately, dominated that nest/feedings this year (2021).. I never fail to learn about BOP every nesting season. I wonder if little dude made it?

[@woodstayrealtv6329]

The mother picking at her feet while kids killing and eating each other great mom

[@Taka_neko]

The mother is looking for scraps to feed her young. And the eagle parents never intervene to stop sibling rivalry or siblicide.

[@Boris_Chang]

Three chicks gives one or two a chance of reaching adulthood. When one dominant/aggressive chick kills his two siblings, there is only one with a chance of reaching adulthood. The animal behavior of the chicks is detrimental to the survival of the species. Don’t give me that “survival of the fittest” nonsense. The two murdered chicks might have been very fit, but just hatched a few days earlier. Meanwhile mom just goes about preparing dinner for three, er two, er one. Just another day in the animal world.

eaglet has to learn to fight for its food and protect its self .if they can’t learn to fight for themselves at this stage, they more than likely not survive within the 1st year . There is always sibling rivalry . As they get older . There is less of it . 3 eaglets is tough to feed so the weakest of the bunch probably won’t survive .
