CRAZY! Savage Male Kestrel Falcon Brings Live Prey! Heartbreaking Sight Of A Helpless Bird

Viewer discretion advised: In this observed instance of paternal care in the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) species, a male kestrel delivered a live songbird to its nestling, a behavior typically associated with females in this species. With the female absent, the nestling proceeded to tear apart the live prey while the father stood guard. This event underscores the often harsh and brutal nature of natural interactions within avian species.

Dad ultimately delivers the death bite behind the sparrow’s head before leaving the prey for the erases to eat. This video really highlights the difference between the roles of the male and female kestrels. The female probably would have dismembered the sparrow and fed it to the chicks. The male just gave up when the chicks became aggressive begging for food.

[@chateaupig826]

Dad drops it in and is like "who's cooking tonight ?

[@Silver..]

2:32 the bird tries to flee and gets killed for it

[@kdubyah8787]

Hahahaha

[@pennsydude9723]

Basically, Kestrel is saying this is who we are. "Now eat!" 🤨

[@user-fe5uh2bi2t]

People are just so sensitive nowadays. Chicks don’t grow on air and birds of prey aren’t vegetarians.

[@ivojuk3666]

Vegeterians are racists! :)

[@blazednlovinit]

Explaining that something isn't fiction doesn't do anything to help people feel better about it 😅😅

[@Rumposteelskin]

👍

[@peterhenderson6851]

Nature is truly wonderful but also cruel

[@kevinkatarzis6834]

Parent teaching their young on how to kill the prey.

[@LechLecha893]

What a bizarre title. Kestrels do not shop at the local supermarket. That kill was fast- dad was on point.

[@stellviahohenheim]

The title is for the tree huggers who only watches what Hollywood shows them

[@saltymisfit6566]

I've actually seen other birds of prey bring live animals back to the nest when the chicks get to a certain age they need to realize that not everything is going to be easy to capture and consume

[@inspectorraycharles]

The cruel reality of nature isn't always cute.

[@Dreamerr__13]

Poor sparrow thought about jumping off and dying 😮instead got eaten alive 😔 But the youngest kestrel was NOT messing around! lol he was hungry 😅

[@LinkaBellGAME]

savage but it is nature...

[@angiescarberry4339]

He was tryna tell them eat it. Giving them practice

[@dandiegor]

Well, birds are not only for back scenes in Disney cartoons when a song comes into and all are happy and fed.

[@NicholausLewis]

Such is life. 😊

[@Readybear77]

DAm he nearly made it so close to escaping 😢

[@JonfromNC]

It is how they teach their chicks to kill and feed themselves. No cruelty or savagery, just animals being animals. Just like you see birds feeding their chicks live worms, these are just higher up the food chain.

[@frankfedison5203]

14:50 They're fighting over the beak! 🤣🤣🤣🤢

[@NaturalWorld253]

It all depends on location. Common Kestrels have a very wide range. In some locations the male feeds nestlings by portioning the prey and in others the male will just drop off the prey and leaves

[@TheGripper74]

The chick's have to learn. That is what parenting is about.

[@christopherreinsmith1401]

Anyone else notice, the dad's right foot, looks like , it might be injured?

[@rroberts2023]

How the f**k are the chicks suppose to learn to hunt and eat their own prey without the aid of the adult. The adult should have allowed the bird to escape if the chicks were gonna just stand over the bird and play with it instead of eating it.

[@ladydragonrider1530]

Nature is beautifully cruel and this just one of many.

[@AleteoDeAlas]

Happy kestrel family 🥰

[@wallacejohnson6846]

After all that, they still hungry.. watching mother carve up the food to feed to the young. So, father bring it in while and mother breaks it down to bite sizes.

[@Pango5697]

Show begins at 2:32

[@Fox_roblox123]

Сейчас многие задаются вопростом почему отец не кормит птенцов, все на самом деле просто кормит только самка так как у самца другие обязанности.

[@NaturalWorld253]

They are nipping at the chicks beak like the chick is has brought food for them…besides itself of course

[@gustavomendieta4680]

Quien disfruto viendo esto esta mal de la cabeza Que cosa mas macabra Se que esto es normal en el mundo animal Pero no es para disfrutarlo Y si habrán notado que Hera un pájaro bebé Quien fue desollado vivo para ser repartido Ojalá eso no les pase a uno de sus hijos algun dia

[@carolkontur1442]

Couldnt watch this one!

[@chateaupig826]

It was pretty quick once dad stopped mucking around

[@yasumaro.25]

生きたままですね。。。 これは自然の理なのだからどうしようもない。 彼らの巣という法律がある。 となれば雛の親の監督不届き。保護できなかったという事。 強者の糧になって、転生を祈る。

[@czhusky]

Chicks from raptors are mean, at least one of them is not going to make it, one or two are going to be killed by their siblings and fed to them by their mother. Savage.

[@jesusshuttlesworth4101]

Bird had a chance but hesitated

[@kasia1785]

The sparrow serms to be a flegging, so very young. Maybe he couldn't fly out on a spot. Poor darling

[@user-vq5mj8lw7r]

雛の中に混ざり込んだエサの雛鳥だね

[@kyusrhee]

끔직하구만..새끼에게 사냥 훈련시키다 안되니 바로 어미 매가 잡아서 죽이고, 뜯어먹으라고 주네. 약육강식..자연의 섭리인가

[@msacer5513]

Yes, that’s how it works. The chicks need to know this to survive.

[@iiieriiiehone6057]

Эта семейка сожрет сотни маленьких птичек. А с виду соколы такие красивые и благородные. Они просто кровожадные убийцы. Птичек жалко!

[@deadwest3492]

Yes all dressed for the ball seems nobility always have it there way or the highway,bless the little blighter

[@katiasilva2489]

😮🤬

[@bigb5206]

They go right for the eyes 👀 and feet!

[@user-qh9jc9jy5k]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gzcwnk]

A common house sparrow?

[@ianalen1687]

yes

[@cameraduong9886]

This really break my heart cause im vegan

[@blazednlovinit]

My friend, everything has to die. Is it better to be born, live then die or never exist in the first place? Are you sad that you were born, knowing that you'll die someday?

[@chateaupig826]

They are Not Deal with it

[@Pango5697]

And they’re freakin wild birds. You’re comparing yourself to birds. Enough sad 🙄
