Crazy and Raw: Kestrel Nestlings Devour Sibling After Chameleon Choke! Viewer Discretion Advised

This is an amazing capture! We as humans like to anthropomorphize animal behavior, so we choose to ignore the reality that survival trumps all. Even for baby chicks. When we are disturbed by nature, it’s not that nature is disturbing, but rather that we’re out of touch with the reality of nature.

[@Bristlefurr]

I mostly agree, especially when it comes to family relations in nature. Everyone expects a "mother" animal to be the same as a mother human and deeply love her young - but they don't. They may bond with their family, but if a Kestrels baby mysteriously dies while she's out of the nest, she does not grieve the loss and instead sees an opportunity to feed her surviving babies. Also I'm sure her instincts told her there must be some reason the baby died. Chicks die very commonly, that's why the have so many. The siblings probably had no idea they were killing their nest mate, they just saw the tail and wanted to yoink the food from it. It all just got out of hand when they dogpiled him.

[@1faithchick7]

There are exact opposite videos to this one. Owls can be just as aggressive, yet there is a video of the oldest taking charge and feeding her younger siblings after her father died instead of taking the food her mother brought for herself. There was a lion who could not hunt at all and the other lions still kept bringing him back food. A falcon mother left the babies alone and the father learned to feed them, and they did not compete like this. Animals are also individuals. If you judged all of humanity based on the few cannibals and abusive familes... well this is just as silly.

I have seen hours of kestrel nestling footage, and during those viewings, I saw a great deal of innate kestrel behavior, including mom killing a sibling (very weakened state...already trying to successfully raise five total nestlings) and then feeding it to its siblings. This was behavior not captured as routinely, but fascinating to see (from a scientific/naturalist) standpoint. Now, with that out of the way, I have NEVER seen footage like this. While I was captivated, I was also a number of other emotional points...disturbed...nervous...anxious...worried...etc. This footage is absolutely epic.

Their instinct told them that the mouth with the chameleon’s tail in it is the mouth that they have to peck at to get fed. The bird with the chameleon in its mouth is not experienced enough to protect itself as the experienced mom would be. The other chics can’t tell the difference between the food and the mouth that feeds them.

[@InkGraffiti]

always wild to me how much work it must be to be a bird that has to feed 5 other birds that are only a tiny bit smaller than yourself and probably twice as hungry! it's definitely understandable why weaker offspring tend to get killed / abandoned. as sad as the first one's death is, it's probably good it died as mom was planning to bring back another chameleon, if someone else tried to swallow it whole, they would have choked too. The death of the first one gave everyone else food without choking hazards
