Common Black bird feeding worms to cute baby & eating baby bird poop
Baby blackbird put their poop in a strong "bag" so the parents can carry it away. This bag is made of thick, strong mucus that a parent robin can pick up in its sharp beak and carry without puncturing, and is called a fecal sac. Fecal sacs are just like disposable diapers for birds!
Within seconds of feeding, baby robins back up and poop. This ensures that whichever parent brought the food will still be there to carry away the fecal sac.
For the first couple of days after hatching, parent robins actually eat many of their babies' fecal sacs. This sounds gross! But before the babies are a few days old, their intestines don't have much bacteria to help them digest their food. It's the bacteria that make droppings germy and smelly. Before the bacteria kick in, the droppings are rich in only partially-digested food items. Fortunately, at first, the babies are still absorbing their yolk sac so they don't suffer from malnutrition even though so much of their food literally goes to waste. Their parents can take advantage of the food still in the droppings. Eating from the droppings allows the parents to give more of the worms and insects they find to their babies rather than eating this food themselves. And once the droppings start having more bacteria, the parents will stop eating them! what an amazing creation of nature !!!
