How much jealousy and hatred these birds have for each other 😮.

[@laplumeebouriffee4037]

Mum thinks her eggs are delicious. No worry, no shame, no sorrow : it's a bird.

[@Wren290]

She prob does feel a bit disappointed about the eggs, she doesnt let them go to waste though, so she eats them.

[@shawnoliver6154]

House Wren: "Yum!! Yum!!! Unhatched bird brains!!!" 😆😆😆

[@FlyHighBirds]

We had House Wren Birds nesting and breeding in a flowerpot in the wardrobe. This is now the 2nd brood in a year. Luckily the young animals are very safe! Birds hates other Birds😢

[@richardb8104]

Mother eats the yolks because it has nutrients and shouldn't go to waste. Same reason many animal moms eat teh placenta after birth. Gross but nutritious.

[@laplumeebouriffee4037]

Women are the only mammals who cut off the chord before all the blood has reached the baby's body and who doesn't eat her placenta. Technics have made of us robots.

Nice capture. Thanks for sharing

[@wanderpike]

😮😮 nice to watch these kind of stories about birds.❤❤

[@冬スズメ]

Oh, delicious eggs！

[@patches365]

I have a birdhouse with a camera that often attracts bluebirds and chickadees, and the overhang on my porch often attracts robins. In 5 years, I have yet to have a single nest in either place make it to hatching, all because of wrens (though one year a crow got to the robins first). Wrens are the absolute worst bird neighbors.

[@venomtrue]

For a reason, they very small, can't fight tit, bluebirds, chickadees, and those often push them out from their own nest, sometimes even killing their chicks. In return wrens watching and waiting to get opportunity to destroy their nest.

[@thelovelyhobojackie]

this is so crazy i’ve never seen house wrens do this!! momma said “might as well finish the job” lol

[@okami3186]

Way too many animals harrass Robins. Small bird be bold.

[@ritasonka330]

What happened to the last unhurt egg????

[@Skydiver173]

The robin abandoned her nest. The egg wont hatch without keeping it warm, especially during the cool nights.

[@ritasonka330]

@@Skydiver173 Oh. I was wondering if you turned it over to a nature shelter or something. Oh well.

[@butmunchass]

Birds will typically abandon their nest if there's only one egg left. If it has hatched they will not abandon a single chick but will usually abandon a single egg.

[@jxggerxfinn2013]

damn it just had to peck at as many as it could why do they compete with robins 😢

[@jiashanuhai3222]

Im watching a house wren nest a robin nest a blue bird nest and a tree swallow nest. The house wren is farthest along

[@newageman10]

Wow

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

i have watched how many vids like this. still each and every time, i wonder, why the hell the mother bird ever leaves the nest??? i watch Robert E Fuller, owls and kestrels dont leave the nest until after the chicks can self regulate their own body temp. but not small birds like Robins, etc. ??? i dont get it?

[@Funktastico]

robert videos also got kestrels left their eggs unguarded and owl went for a visit inside but didn't harm their eggs

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

@@Funktastico yes, but usually mother is not gone for long. She might just to stretch, take a bath, etc. But the Kestrels take turns with the eggs, some of the owls too. But never seen it with small birds.

[@butmunchass]

They need to feed themselves.

[@Birder100]

Any reason why you stood by and let this happen, or were you filming while away?

[@Skydiver173]

Every year, a robin will nest in this spot. Before nesting season began this year, I pointed a camera on that spot. This is what it caught. I didn't see it happen until I reviewed the footage. My wife was horrified, lol. Currently, another robin has built a new nest on top of the old one and there are three chicks in it. If I had faster internet, I'd set up a live cam. Maybe one day.

[@Birder100]

I think a lot of people were horrified. I have a bluebird box near my home and a house wren tried to remove their nesting material. After the first egg was laid I put up a wren guard to keep this very thing from happening.

[@okami3186]

Nature is running its course and everyone is the audience. There shouldnt be anyone to blame or “let” this happen. The one who captured this can decide whether or not to intervene or protect and prevent afterwards. I enjoyed the footage you shared.

[@laplumeebouriffee4037]

why judge and assert ? You know that most of the vid we see on YT about birds, are running round the clock automatically. The image is still no movement of camera : it's obvious that no human being is behind. And even if... This bird needs to eat also. In nature, every being is food for the others and you don't have to interfere.

[@kbmightmight518]

This is my hubby's video. He has a big heart and enjoys setting up his camera to capture nature. No, we were not aware until he played the video. I was so upset seeing it, I was pissed off! It's part of nature, but I was still about in tears 😢. He has captured some nice videos also😊
