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

[@TheDocV627]

the way that bird snatched him up at 2:33 was crazy

[@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.

[@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

[@angiescarberry4339]

He was tryna tell them eat it. Giving them practice

[@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 😅

[@eldermillennial8330]

It was almost fledged itself, not enough to fly but could have glided to the ground, but how to survive without its own parents from there?

[@pennsydude9723]

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

[@dandiegor]

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

[@chateaupig826]

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

[@necrochemical5572]

lol little birdie on the far right behind the parent was like "fuck this wall in particular"

[@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

[@怪物天使-h1q]

is normal for men to make analogies with women and females (animals) but to do so with males, they don't like them, ha, ha, ha

[@mdfalconer]

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.

[@jeffreyporter4678]

That's a female kestrel.

[@carldalord]

@@jeffreyporter4678nah, the females of the common kestrels have brown heads, not gray

[@carldalord]

⁠@@jeffreyporter4678later on, you’ll see the female come back to pick apart the bird for the chicks to eat

[@jeffreyporter4678]

Of course that's true, I must have been very sleepy!

[@carldalord]

@@jeffreyporter4678 Such is life

[@frankfedison5203]

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

[@cynthiaheath202]

Thats actually a fledgling sparrow, looks confused opening its mouth for food in the start. Super sad.

[@magicdolphin3090]

birds also open their mouth to show aggression, especially when they get cornered. It's the equivalent of barring your teeth as a mammal.

[@LinkaBellGAME]

savage but it is nature...

[@Readybear77]

DAm he nearly made it so close to escaping 😢

[@inspectorraycharles]

The cruel reality of nature isn't always cute.

[@Vek572]

Nah Pretty cute in my book.

[@carldalord]

@@Vek572yeah, it’s kinda funny seeing male kestrels drop whole ass birds and get confused when the chicks can’t eat it

[@HotdogBro12]

​@@carldalord and then they just give up negotate and just killing bro Bro wasnt even look old and he was being ganged up by 4 kestrel kids😭(no dad include)

[@robertwalsh4408]

Daddy weres mommy she knows what to do.. 🤞 probably his first family as he looks a bit confused.. had a kestrel as a young man but let it go after a week. It was feeding from my hand but was a juvenile and I found it waterlogged.. I wasn't experienced enough as a 13 year old and didn't know how much to feed it or how many times a day. My mother just used to look at me as if to say. Maybe when you're more experienced so I just let it fly.. to this day I'm glad I did. 😉 great little falcon the European kestrel.. a bit bigger than the American kestrel.. the sparrow hawk is still my favourite raptor. But there all great from hawks to eagles and Falcons to owls .. that was a strange way to bring food home. !

[@necrochemical5572]

the parents plan didn't work out too well. The idea behind bringing back live prey like that sparrow is that even as babies, kestrels are stronger than them, so they were supposed to learn to kill it themselves without his intervention. Mission Failed.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@HelenaTangimetua]

Daddy brought the bird in a live because it's usually mama birds that break up the food and feed the chicks, daddies just supply the food

[@imsowitchy]

What kinda bird is that that tries to carry mom kestrel off at 22:26? Black with white on it's chest and wings. Looked to be the same size as her too so idk what it was planning. At 22:31 it managed to grab onto her tail and barely budged her

[@grantguy8933]

Maybe a crow?

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

​@@grantguy8933it's probably a magpie

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

it's probably a magpie

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

I think it's trying to attack the krestel to get the baby back

[@wyattharrison5350]

Man little dude was so close to escaping to

[@TheGripper74]

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

[@monkeysingh6939]

The baby kestrels through that the sparrow was there to feed them and were trying to pick food off her beak.

[@AleteoDeAlas]

Happy kestrel family 🥰

Ain’t no Disney movie.

[@rhaellatargaryen5654]

tan grandotes pajaros y no pueden despedazar a un pajarito mas chikito que ellos😂

[@Pango5697]

Show begins at 2:32

[@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

[@NicholausLewis]

Such is life. 😊

[@danielmorris6523]

Although it is sad to some people these chicks now know what to do when they are older and have to kill for food.

[@Chris-CardVault]

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

[@JaneXemylixa]

"Daaaad, we don't know how to open this jaaar, help uuuus"

[@ladydragonrider1530]

Nature is beautifully cruel and this just one of many.

[@gregthegroove]

2:32 the bird had a slim chance right there on the ledge but it prob looks like a baby and doesn’t know how to fly yet I’m thinking? Oh so close man.

[@Fox_roblox123]

[@gzcwnk]

A common house sparrow?

[@ianalen1687]

yes

[@tunde818]

Does the mom ever show up? Seems like the Male Kestrel is a single dad?

[@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.

[@TheSebastian5978]

It’s the circle of life, in all its wonder & brutality.

It's not the dad's job so that's why he doesn't know how to feed his children

[@lilianarodriguez1928]

Poor mother!! Towards the end of this video there’s no more food and the glutinous chicks are biting the mothers beak and feet! Trying to eat her up too!

[@icc64]

Wild life is hard .chicks are hungry all the time they need good food to grow

[@paws4mercy643]

I adore wildlife of ALL KINDS i just wish some of them they didnt need to eat each other

[@robertbraun7155]

Mom's out at the club so pops dropped off some Chick-fil-a and probably ain't his kids. When she gets back you can see Ol dude she was out cheating with buzzing the place.. Definitely a broken nest right there.

[@NaturalWorld253]

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

[@sandrakimball518]

When you have the time, do some research on Birds of Prey. And, you will notice that those birds eat small animals. It's their natural diet. 🍷🥩🥔🥗

[@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.

[@bigb5206]

They go right for the eyes 👀 and feet!

How the humans live on some as animals hunting eat drinking we all humans are more dangerous we never have enough of everything more more 😢😢

It give us a teaching that birds are allowed to live on others lives but if any human being do the same he is answerable before Allah..

[@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 🙄

[@NOTB666-p7v]

So I take it it would really hurt to know that only 20 to 30% of nestlings actually survive? Number one cause is predators including cats, dogs, snakes, raccoons and even other birds. 2 is bad weather and 3 being abandoned or neglected by the parents! Some species of birds also, if one of the babies isn’t growing like their siblings, the parents will kick them out of the nests!!

[@zbstr611]

pretty badass 😂😂😂🎉
