Infanticida -
Kati does what she has to do to raise at least the other three chicks. Unfortunately, she does it in a way that is unbearable for us humans.This video is intended for ornithologists and other intrested. It is not intended for people who think they can skip their hatred of these animals.We humans take the habitat of the animals and force them, to do so. As we can see, storks are not able to kill their chicks. In the end, the chick died of severe injuries.
White Storks Ciconia ciconia parents were observed to kill their smaller chick in 9 out of 63 nests observed during a three-year study. Infanticidal parents were caring for larger broods and laid larger clutches than non-infanticidal birds. Males killed the chick in 8 out of 9 cases. Victims were born from the last-hatched egg in 4- and 5-egg clutches, they were the lightest in their brood and grew at lower rates than their nestmates during the days preceding their elimination. The last-hatched nestlings in 4-chick broods had lower pre-fledging survival rates than their elder sibs. Potential victims contributed a low fraction to parents' reproductive output, and 4-chick broods were especially costly to raise because parents provisioned them both more frequently and for longer nestling periods. Hence, the presence of an extra chick seems to lower the benefit/cost ratio to parents rearing a large brood once its elder siblings have hatched successfully. If nestlings do not compete aggressively for food, parents would be selected to eliminate the extra chick themselves. This hypothesis could provide an explanation for the existence of parental infanticide also in other species.

Then he calmed down, read the advice and began to raise him instead of storks. That's how we lived. The storks raised four in the nest, and I raised the fifth on the ground. I made him a separate nest in the barn. He fed fish, mice and chickens. He grew up strong and even began to fly earlier than his brothers in the nest. But this is a lot of work and it is difficult to do it every year.

This is a boss question ✊

[@franklinconde7316]

Dexter Amores It’s because we possess an important evolutionary trait common to social animals like dolphins, elephants, and whales (among others): empathy. This trait helps our chances of survival because it means we protect and save each other. Humans aren’t the only animals to impose their empathy/sentiment upon nature. Dolphins and whales save other species (including humans) from predators even if they don’t gain anything from it. They don’t do it for survival, because they put themselves at risk. Anyway, having empathy (a natural, evolutionary trait not specific to humans with social contract/ethics) for an animal being preyed upon exercises our primal nature. The real question is: why are so many people here hell-bent on demeaning people expressing the positive side of human nature?

[@trinabyrd9598]

An adult bird could have died putting stress on the bird that was left to feed all the babies. There could be a shortage of food where they are due to human interference. The other chicks may have been feeding more than that one and that looks like weakness or illness and therefore, a waste of energy getting food to feed them all when she could use her energy to feed the stronger ones. It could be a number of things. But it all boils down to nature. We can’t project human emotions and morals on animals that act on instinct. We just have to trust they know what the hell they are doing. We’re not the birds.

[@rhettthompson5383]

@@liznm-natur-channel Birds are insanely smart. The truth is that it probably isn't about food, although birds will abandon chicks, usually the whole nest, if they can't find enough food, and not exactly survival of the fittest either. If you compare the baby being killed to the other three, its not as fluffy, not as big, the beak isn't as yellow. I breed birds, and a mother will either remove a chick from the nest if it isn't well, or just stop feeding it. Sometimes baby birds are born with congenital defects that prevent them from thriving. I've seen parents refuse to sit on a particular baby or refuse to feed it. They may not make a conscious decision to abandon a baby, but their instincts tell them to and they do it.

for people who are crying about this, you need to understand what its like to be a wild damn animal. they dont have free access to food or water like us, they need to survive and will do anything to survive. so stop being babies and understand how animals work, also the chick was probably the weakest and killing off weak animals is in a sense a good way to keep the genes of the animal strong, it helps the animal survive more

By snapping all the little babies necks instead just out just one. But in doing so he relizes how blind he has been. His mother didnt snap his neck and just treat him like bag pipes out of anger. She did it out of love. as painful as it was, it could have been alot worse" he thinks to himself". And just then his vision blurs and he remebers mother sitting there as she was all those years ago after making a pretzel knot outa his neck. Its not painful this time. He sees things clearly now. So clearly he recalls his whole full life from him wishing pretzeling his kids necks to the bird he made them with and even the first song they kissed to. And then he recalls the most important detail. That all this was just wishful thinking and that he was in reality, taking his last breath. And in that last breath he lived a lifetime...aaaaaannnd then actully for reals dies.

[@seenoblade7291]

I see a lot of comments about people finding this sad or cruel, or about how this is just nature, but I can't help but wonder, because many birds are such dedicated parents, if it's something that's at all difficult for them to do. Sacrificing the weakest one to ensure the survival of the others. She was unable to kill the chick quickly, and the siblings seemed distressed, and calmed when she sat on them (comforting, maybe?), so I really can't help but wonder what these birds must be thinking or going through. To them, it may just be something that had to be done, they can't communicate to us so we'll never know for sure, but I think it's interesting to think about it sometimes. I hope the other chicks thrived thanks to this decision. I guess the best way to compare this is euthanasia for an animal that you know won't live well, we try our best to make it quick and painless, but for this parent that's not an option, all she has is a beak. She's doing the best she can, as all wild animals always do, please do not hate her. P.S, before anyone comments about anthropomorphizing, trust me, I know, I'm only pondering possibilities and pointless sentiment on a nest of birds I'll forget in a week. It's just a bird, but curiosity is part of human nature, let me wonder in peace. Thank you to the uploader for sharing this, it's very interesting!

[@ododa763]

It could just be the only way the stork can grab it's children, but it also seems like they are purposefully trying to snap it's neck in order to kill it faster, though obviously that task is much harder with a beak, you can't fault it for the attempt at a swift ending. Even if it can only grab by the neck, the fact the mother goes back to attempt to kill the chick multiple times despite it clearly being unable to compete for food I believe shows some compassion, as it could've just let the chick starve to death. Edit : Also when the stork adult sits down, it seems to face towards or keep the dying chick in eye sight as if to ensure it dies relatively soon.

Solely a human attribute is regret. Ruthless or brutal works, as survival we see in acknowledge, however not the only road taken leading beyond the horizon another day lived. My beef isn't with the mother bird, she's still caring for the remaining three, beneath uncertain resources at her disposal, no easy task. Her actions sanctioned by an unseen force we call evolution, for whatever the reasons of pressure exerted supply in demand met or not met, causing an instinctual reflex.
