Fledgling Eddie & Father In Windy Tree 🥀 Tribute To Baby Crow

[@corvusaeternus]

Rest in peace, little Eddie! // Please note: This is not one of the baby crows you saw in last week's video - they are fine! This fledgeling was the baby of Silas (nickname "Klugspatz" - the one that demands dog food all the time) & Poé.

[@sneepsnorp3d]

Rest in peace, adorable baby Eddie. :( 💔

[@corvusaeternus]

Thank you for watching! Yes, it's sad...

What a beautiful tribute you have made for Eddie 💗 thank you for sharing this with us 🤗

A beautiful tribute for Little Eddie. A sad way to die but life is not always kind. Thanks Jonathan for sharing this father/son fruit eating snack with us. 🙏💐🕯

[@corvusaeternus]

Yes, life can be cruel. But I'm happy I had the chance to see Eddie (not sure if male or not. But I was planning to call him Edgar if he's a male and I thought Eddie could work for a girl as well.)

[@mathlete855]

The early stages of a fledgling are the most dangerous. Flight feathers haven’t developed yet and they’re still heavily dependent on parental feeding. I just hope little Eddie didn’t suffer.

[@corvusaeternus]

It think he was dead immediately. It happened while I was 200 metres away and when I got there the crow funeral had already started.

A beautiful loving tribute to Little Eddie. So sorry to hear his life was much too short...

[@corvusaeternus]

Thank you very much! Yes, much too short... but I'm happy I could see little Eddie.

[@Vossmoor-Natur-Vlog]

Es ist wirklich sehr traurig. Ein einziger Tag, und der Kleine hat so neugierig in die große Welt geschaut. Für Silas und Poe ist dieses Jahr eindeutig nicht das Beste. Ich hoffe und wünsche es den Beiden, das sie dafür nächstes Jahr Zwillinge durchbekommen. So wie meine hier, aber da ist die Kuh ja auch noch nicht vom Eis. LG ❤

[@corvusaeternus]

Ja, letztes Jahr auch schon. Bei Gandalf und Loki ebenso beide Jahre (da bin ich mir mittlerweile sicher, dass da kein Junges mehr ist). Vielleicht wird dieses Jahr, ja auch nochmal gebrütet, wer weiß. Letztes Jahr im November hab ich in der großen Krähenschar mehrere kleine gesehen, die so aussahen, als wären sie erst sehr spät geschlüpft. Ich hoffe, dass bei deinen alles gut geht!

Eine wunderschöne Erinnerung an den kleinen Eddie....rest in peace kleiner Schatz

[@corvusaeternus]

Dankeschön! Ich finde, die hat Eddie auch verdient, vor allem, wenn ich schon Aufnahmen von ihm/ihr machen konnte.

[@pelosuttogo]

Very sad and touching at the same time. 🙁 Our complex world today is full of dangers, different dangers than those to which animals, crows, have adapted. They have to learn, they have to prepare for these dangers, and those who make mistakes can unfortunately perish. Fortunately, crows are well adapted and teachable, so they can turn these dangers to their advantage. There will be many little Eddie's who survive the train, let's not despair...

[@corvusaeternus]

They have lots of dangers there. The train, cats/dogs and then of course the birds of prey. Buzzards and hawks are often around. I know that it's hard for all little birds and that many (or most) don't survive the first time. But it hit's different when it's the fledgeling of a crow that you have a close bond with and when you witness the little body lying there and the crow funeral.

[@pelosuttogo]

@@corvusaeternus it's true, the loss of an innocent life, especially if I'm attached to it, is always a pain for me too! Rest in peace Eddie, soar and caw in the heavens hereafter!

What a beautiful wild fruits tree Good wind Happy bird💝

[@corvusaeternus]

The bird is dead... hit by the train.

[@MrArgoma]

Desgraciadamente este tipo de accidente son habituales, los animales tienen demasiados obstáculos en su hábitat. Un video precioso 37 👍.

[@corvusaeternus]

Gracias!

[@bellasvistas3463]

Sad. One of the Snowy Owls that I photographed got hit by a truck a year or so ago. They are missed.

[@corvusaeternus]

That's a very tragic death as well... it's very sad!

[@HoodedCrowsOnly]

so sorry about the little fella. almost the same happened with a Boss baby last year. At this age they don't know to navigate in the world.

[@corvusaeternus]

Yes... I was worried the whole time about the spot they built the nest. It was close to the railway track as well as very close to people (and dogs). So if the fledgeling left the tree on the other side it would have been on a path with hundreds of dogs every day. But I guess they had their reason for building the nest at that spot.

Sad to hear, ~ beautiful tribute

Thank you!

Beautiful tribute. I am very sorry to hear about the accident. Greetings!

Es nuestro deber y nuestra obligación, preservar la naturaleza, el ecosistema, la flora y la fauna. Efectivamente, cada vez más animales tienen que adaptarse a esta mal llamada evolución. Se utilizan pesticidas, hervicidas, cuando realmente los pájaros, son la mejor manera de controlar las plagas en cosechas, etc, etc. Se contaminan las aguas, se queman los bosques, avanza el hormigón, placas solares, aerogeneradores... Cada vez es más difícil para estos pequeños salir adelante. Espero que algún día, la sociedad evolucione y se de cuenta del mal que se ha hecho a la madre naturaleza... Precioso video en recuerdo de este pequeño!!! Un saludo.

[@corvusaeternus]

¡Muchas gracias por mirar y tu comentario! Estoy usando el traductor de Google, así que espero que todo tenga sentido. Tengo la suerte de vivir en una ciudad con mucha naturaleza. La ciudad también se llama la Ciudad Verde de Alemania. La ciudad está rodeada de bosque y todo queda muy cerca. Es agradable tener mucha naturaleza aquí, pero la desventaja de que la naturaleza y la civilización estén tan cerca son, por supuesto, los efectos que tiene en el mundo animal. Estoy seguro de que a los cuervos les encanta este lugar para vivir, pero el ferrocarril y también la estación están a sólo unos metros del bosque y eso es peligroso para los cuervos jóvenes. Sin embargo, esta pareja de cuervos decidió anidar en un árbol justo al lado de la barandilla. No sé por qué, porque habría tenido muchas otras opciones más seguras, pero estoy seguro de que tenían su razón. Elegir ese árbol fue peligroso. De un lado del ferrocarril, del otro lado cientos de perros día a día. Espero que elijan otro lugar la próxima vez.

[@frankcastle8508]

​@@corvusaeternusTe entendí perfectamente. Espero que encuentren otro lugar mejor la próxima vez y que nos lo muestres en tus videos... Enhorabuena por tu trabajo y dedicación a estos magníficos animales!!! Un saludo.

[@BirdPhotos]

wonderfully documented

[@corvusaeternus]

Thanks!

[@DragaFlammis]

Aw, no! I'm so sorry. On the journey with my own crows, I've realized how easy it is to get attached to them. I think I'd be devasted if anything happened to Briar (or any of them, really), so I can imagine how sad this is for you. And especially for its parents. I hope they have better luck next year.

[@corvusaeternus]

Yes, it's easy to get attached to them... I would be devastated as well if something happened to the ones that I've known for a longer time and have a close bond with! There are some more babies that I think have not made it but I'm not sure since I haven't seen them but I'm missing Gandalf's & Loki's Baby. The fledgeling was already out of the nest and flying around. I haven't seen the fledgeling for a while now and am not sure if something happened or if it's just hidden very well. But I think I should have seen them together or seen them feeding so prabably something has happened to the baby as well... :-(

[@Orientalbackyardgarden]

I find it difficult to watch 😢❤❤

[@corvusaeternus]

Yes, knowing that he's dead makes it difficult to watch. But I don't want him to be forgotten. Despite all I'm happy I could see him with his dad that one day. It was beautiful to see them and the world shall know that little Eddie existed.

I don't like when baby bird is dying or birds are dying. I'm depressed for it and sorrow is with me some time 😭

[@corvusaeternus]

Yes, very depressing 😞

[@eriktorget192]

Never easy. My crows at the old house had one fledgling a couple of years before I moved. The day the parents gave it its own peanut to open on its own was the last time I saw it. And then some of those here, most all of the beach birds disappeared. It's never easy.

[@corvusaeternus]

I'm sorry to hear about the fledgeling with the peanut and the beach birds disappearing... Couldn't the beach birds just have moved to another territory?

[@eriktorget192]

@@corvusaeternus hard to say with the beach crows. We live on a narrow peninsula so territory is hard to come by, especially with the types of other birds here. That's one of the things that is something of a paradox in how all the various smaller birds will go after the bald eagles...that's not a good way to get invited to lunch. And the crows will go at them alone, if necessary. Plus whatever other predator birds are around. Although I don't think they would have much trouble with ground predators. But of the 5 pairs along that park frontage only the condo crows are still there. And I don't know how many of their batch from last year have made it this far. They had 5 that fledged but most I ever see is 4 including the parents. They have another group this season tho, I only see the male and maybe 1 juvenile, and the peanuts immediately fly back to the nest.

[@42Crows]

So sad. I'm worried with one of my guys right now, seems to be limping but flew off before I could tell for sure. On the other hand I'd be quite happy to take a blunderbuss to the seagulls, had around 15 around me today, crowding out the crows and generally being a PITA

[@corvusaeternus]

I hope the foot will get better! But as long as they can fly most get along. I've seen several limping in the past but it always healed (except for Captain Ahab but he's a different story with that special foot but also he was limping much more last year). Several crow persons in the past have complained about those English seagulls. I was never there so I don't know how bad they really are but I like the German seagulls. But also I've never seen crows on German beaches (I wonder if there are any or if that's completely seagull territory).
