Gruesome Cuckoo

A cuckoo chick in a nest, pushes both eggs and the young over the edge of the nest, then is reared until time to leave the nest by the Dunnocks

[@vanbaje8307]

The parent just looked at the dead bird that fell and went like "Oh well"

[@AuraB00]

it wan't dead.

[@FeliDJrah]

Apparently, mother birds will eject an egg out of the nest. But they'll never reject a single chick.

[@frrconfeds336]

Van Baje its so sad but so Funny. 😂😂

[@sgtlaughter]

"Not my problem".

[@rosapaga1776]

[@jinghankua9592]

Freaking terrifying, I thought the cuckoo will eat the Dunnock parents

[@donny9078]

I've always wanted to catch a cuckoo chick trying to evict the eggs from a nest just so I could turn the tables on it and watch while it falls to the ground instead of the eggs

[@tristanmochtar5279]

Same here

[@manishrathi6564]

its a natural thing, i think we should leave it as it is.

[@user-kt6us4vd7o]

Same here. I'll give the cuckoo a taste of karma. Muahahahah

[@grom4818]

that's a little psychotic, especially knowing that the baby cuckoo just reacts to stimuli on its back. maybe stop being a hypocrite, you might be the monster.

[@VentureWelding]

OMG same here. I've contemplated about a dozen stress tests if I'm ever fortunate enough to get my hands on a chick. *FACT* Whomever succeeds first, and films these stress tests to put that little fucker through, would become a KZbin Legend.

Mother bird: "My little sweetie! He is a little bit larger than us and little bit kills all his siblings, but he is still our kid after all!"

[@pollyannaprinciple5860]

When the mom saw her baby roll out of the next, she had the expression like, "oh well, one less mouth to feed."

There's no such thing as a "bad" animal

[@linasarizona]

First must extinct stupid birds wich don't do anything when see cuckoo chick in front of him pushing out his baby and after rising cuckoo baby. When stupid birds extinct or become smarter cuckoos will extinct automatically. Stupid person get beaten even in church.

Just where in evolution did a blind baby bird learn to kick out all the other eggs?

[@samlee3861]

Don Baxley nature program it..it is in the blood..

[@field16]

You sound suspicious of evolution, and rightly so. Evolution is a new age religion that attempts to explain the origin of life. This creature, like all creatures, have been coded with instinct. The code is in their DNA, like a computer code, and no intelligent code ever produced itself. God is one name we use to describe our Creator and DNA code is an easy way to see that we must have an incredible designer who created us with words. (Our DNA is created with chemical letters.) Now, I might ask, why would God make the cuckoo to be such an awful bird? And then I remember, we live in a fallen world. This is only a trial life. There are many more evil things than this particular parasitic bird. Men do more evil than this creature. If we turn away from our own evil ways, and turn toward the Lord Jesus Christ, we will be saved and enter the heavens where these kind of problems no longer exist. There is a spiritual evolution, but with our heavenly Father watching over us, and not by chance.

[@snail736]

[@goodtraitor5845]

DoctorDank Yeah his second paragraph was REALLY unnecessary bringing God suddenly on this.

[@warferret11]

It tries to explain biological diversity not the origins of life, you whooped that straw-man's butt though.

[@Leidern]

Remember, it was never taught to push out the eggs or new hatchlings. It didn’t just decide one day to do it. It’s just part of their nature, instinct. Crazy when you think about it.

[@kyaobet88]

I wonder what will happen to that cuckoo bird if it was laid on an eagle's nestle.

[@MrNeveress]

I think the eagle would know

[@harybila9137]

[@janicem9225]

Lunch for the baby eagles. Lol

[@ND-jl9jq]

I'm sure the cuckoo chick would evict the eagle's eggs. His life would end only if one of the parents caught him in the act.

[@CLOWNBOT00]

Smart enough to build a nest. Smart enough to lay eggs into the nest. Smart enough to watch their own chick die. *Not* smart enough to realize the obvious. (I use the term _smart_ extremely lightly.)

[@laughernine4320]

It's bizarre to me how the mother, seeing one of her young fall out of the nest before her eyes, does nothing about it. It's some evidence to me that this bird at least doesn't really have emotion, they're just programmed to do certain things, like feed any young bird(s) in its nest.

[@tuanisthename]

you'll have to define 'emotion' because they clearly feel joy, fear, anxiety, affection, etc.

[@irisfang]

They have emotion, but their survival instinct takes over.

[@rogue0909]

Birds are dumb as hell

[@electricheartpony]

@@tuanisthename but is it to the extent you're thinking? All animals have those emotions and us humans tend to put a higher degree on them.

[@Dexuz]

@@electricheartpony No, certainly not all animals have those emotions, in fact, the majority of animal species just straight up have *no* emotions. Insects, crustaceans, molusks, and invertebrates in general, which make more than 90% of all animals species, have no emotions because they lack the way of having them, either because their nervous system is archaic or straight up inexistent.

[@ObliviousTeenager]

You’d think the parent bird would be like “somethings wrong here”

[@MissysDomain]

Interesting. I can't believe that the instincts are that strong in the baby Cuckoo to push out eggs/nest mates. Also, why doesn't the Cuckoo raise it's own young instead of leaving it up to other birds to do so?

[@dancousland4033]

missmommy185 oh that's simple cuckoo birds r known to be lazy y waste energy on raising young that's one purpose is to kill each other when u can lay one egg in another birds nest let the do all the work and insure ur dna will continue

[@robledog]

Parasite birds...

[@laurenamburn6407]

i've been wonderin too

[@dancousland4033]

Iwuvmemes magic bs xD

[@LoryskaEntertainment]

It’s another example of advantageous adaptation. The cuckoo developed a way to survive, even at the expense of others. It is not selfish or cruel. It is simply how these things work.

[@MrHowardMoon]

I'd of thrown it straight out that nest and into an oven with some nice rosemary and a decent gravy.

[@andrewfrazier547]

I never thought I could hate a bird so much. Cuckoo birds had to been made by the devil

[@Arieskie]

No. They are absolutely amazing. Think about the sheer strength in that newborn bird! & cuckoos are not the only parasitic birds. Btw, they help control bird population.

[@simonemoses1081]

Sometimes I wonder how exactly aware these birds are of what they're doing is it purely instinct or are they literally going through this knowing that their ending a life

[@simonemoses1081]

MrJabloney elephants primates, some avain species and a plethora of ocean dwelling creatures have all shown signs of sentience

[@simonemoses1081]

MrJabloney don't speak out your ass. Elephants regularly visit the sites of their dead. Primates have been known to have funeral processions when an infant dies, dolphins name their children, penguins grieve when their egg or chick die, dogs go off their food when a companion passes, whales shield seals from orcas. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/animal-emotions/201306/universal-declaration-animal-sentience-no-pretending

[@simonemoses1081]

MrJabloney grieving for a dead one is instrinctual in humans too. Noone has to be taught to grieve unless it's a physcopath. You don't want to listen to facts you only have alot of baseless opinions so I'm done with this conversation. And yes animals leave their young to die. It doesn't make any sense to try and keep a defective child alive, especially in such wild and unpredictable enviorments. I consider it a mercy

[@XX-sp3tt]

@MrJabloney STRONGLY depends on the animal. Not all animals have the same level of intelligence. A snake does NOT feel gratitude for you letting it out of its cage though.

[@lovywhite9352]

[@garikm24]

Wtf....

[@systemicchaos3921]

There is no conscious thought involved when the cuckoo chick throws the other chick out. It will throw anything out of its nest because the genes that evolved to cause a chick to do that have become commonplace in the cuckoo gene pool as it's such an effective survival strategy. Plenty of bird species have a defence by being able to recognise their own eggs or spot cuckoo eggs and eat them. I recommend "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins for anyone who wants to understand how these instincts and adaptations evolve beyond just seeing the animal as "cruel".

[@lindalee4768]

Could Human re-training the evil bird start at hatch? like raise them in different way, do not let's them kill others, may be when they grow up, they will forget about being evil? That will be a great achievement . Thank you

It gets me how the young just instinctively know to push the other eggs out. Also, they weren't lying when they said that if cuckoos find their eggs gone or destroyed that they'll come back with a vengeance. Mom seems to be hanging close by because you can hear her throughout the video.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Some crapulous humans do this too, seriously but in a little different way. The labor of the mother bird is the equivalent of people working. The salary is the subsistance. The chick is parents trying to pass ther fruit of their work to their progeniture (children). The cuckoo chick is the bankeSsters who do not work but get products, car, houses, food that other worked to produce. The cuckoo leg pushing the legitimate chicks out of the nest is the Federal reserve bank printing currency and giving it (at preferential interest rate) to their friends bankers. Here you have to understand that printing currency is the equivalent of stealing work and effort that working people have to do to earn a salary. Finally, just like the cuckoo these people are parasites, who get the best of products yet steal from the rest of society.

[@Pet_Food_Supplier]

PLEASE DON'T HATE KOEL cuckoo chicks emit copious amounts of a sticky, smelly substance. The authors tested the novel hypothesis that this stinky substance deters predators from the nest. If cats and hawks were given tasty pieces of chicken meat, but smeared with the cuckoo’s excretion, these typical nest predators were repelled. This indicates that the cuckoo’s excretion is a very powerful defence mechanism, likely to save both cuckoo and crow chicks alike if a predator comes calling. So although crows appear to be behaving generously towards cuckoos, they are in fact still selfish - they tolerate cuckoos because of the benefit they provide their own young.
