Red-tailed Hawk Hatchling's Downy Feathers Start To Dry Hours After Hatch- May 2, 2019

I3's down begins to dry just hours after hatching on May 2. Red-tailed Hawk chicks are helpless right after they hatch, but they soon gain enough strength to lift their heads and beg for food. You may also see some sparring between chicks during this early stage of the nestling period. This is a normal behavior in Red-tailed Hawk nests. Big Red and her mates have proven to be ample providers over the years, and any aggression between siblings typically wanes as the chicks grow older.

A Red-tailed Hawk pair has been nesting above Cornell University’s athletic fields since at least the 2012, making use of two different light towers for their nest sites. In 2012 and 2015, they used a tower near Fernow Hall, and in 2013, 2014, and 2016, they used the tower nearest Weill Hall. We installed cameras at both of these sites to get a better look at the intimate behavior of these well-known birds as they raise their young amid the bustle of a busy campus.

The mother is feeding the big bully so much ....😂😂😂

[@taze27]

Birds are so amazing. Days after they hatch, they are already eating solid foods.

[@chiarasalvatore8830]

Perché non togliere e allevarle invece di farli morire

[@darkwitch8648]

@@chiarasalvatore8830 It's illegal to interfere with a Hawk's nest that has chicks in it. Plus there's millions of Hawks in the world, you gonna go around to every single nest, rescue them all and feed every single one by hand every 2 or 3 hours?! 😂😂

[@davoodehajiraj]

Mum keeping the big one busy by feeding it to stop attacking the new hatched one

[@davoodehajiraj]

Every second of watching these little cuties is lovely specially when two being fed and third one hatch

[@bertolinamaffei1961]

Muito lindinho demais estes filhotes de pássarinho!

[@joe_zeay]

This is Awesome!!! More please

[@lastlight4252]

Later the same day all three chicks are downy. Adult sits on them - why does the adult face the camera with the wind blowing toward the camera (and lifting the wing and tail feathers). It's still cold out even in Ithaca, NY? Hopefully, prey will be plentiful and the oldest won't really injure the younger or youngest.

[@cheongyei]

Wow the eldest chick is one aggressive hawk. Nice zoom, but it made the attack on the newly hatched chick harder to watch.

[@fidelaromo6705]

If you can't stand it ,, DONT WATCH. A and complain later , this is how nature works ,they are not humans.

Big brother is greedy in my sense but this is the nature of creation to survive.Lets see if youngest two can survive in next part.

一匹めっちゃ兄妹攻撃してるやん　結構効いてそうだし目とか突いたら失明する勢いだ

[@KathySparkle1]

Ok after reading the comments I can’t watch. I’ve viewed ospreys and learned they’re hardwired for offing siblings.

[@soniakumar2157]

Mother is not feeding the new born..hate to watch this cruelty

[@ladyfalcon4208]

The youngest is so adorable. I’m hoping that the bonking and aggression gets better over time once the oldest realizes that mom has enough food for everyone. I saw this type of behavior in bald eaglet chicks too.

## Какая красавица Мамочка кормит своих ОДУВАНЧИКОВ...а какой красивый маленький детёныш...16.9.19 г. РОССИЯ... СПАСИБО ВАМ БОЛЬШОЕ ЗА ЧУДЕСНОЕ ВИДЕО...

[@chelciemorrow518]

I hope that police comes and arrests one of those “chicks”. Haha

[@birdlover6842]

It's terrible that the youngest gets attacked. Poor thing.:(

[@fidelaromo6705]

And we can see mom. Mostly feeds older one and forgets about the newly hatched , it is asking for food too. But the older keeps attacking it sad ,,, but it's wild nature , we mustn't get too sentimental over this , it's not worth getting sad over it, because it happens in every RAPTORS nest even the ones without cameras

[@dkxrated]

बहुत ख़ूब।

[@tiffanystokes2046]

I know that its something they do all the time but I can't help getting angry at the one who is bullying and hurting the other chicks.

[@HumbraHongryMHC]

It Seem Like The Bigger Chick Is Being Rewarded For It’s Behavior🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@crazyfx5242]

So how did the two youngest ones turn out? I hoped they survive with this bully..

[@fidelaromo6705]

It's not a bully , only humans can bully , this is how they evolved the older or stronger survives, I would say birds don't rationalize

[@kimberlysweat7703]

Sadly the new one prob won't make

[@kojtxiszoonyobhlubkoj6935]

The mother is feeding the older one so it won't attack the two younger siblings! !!

Older attack Youngest looks painful.Mom have to no feeding older.

[@juventinomontalvo3987]

Once the old one gets fed it will stop attaking the small chicks

[@fidelaromo6705]

Not always, and that's how they stop the other smaller siblings from eating and then they get weaker and easier to take out of the competition for the food

[@Galivantin]

I don't think the little one stood a chance. Animals have a pecking order, it seems unfair to us but it is God's law and we obey. I sure wish someone would have foster that little baby hawk ♥

poor little one is not going to have an easy life in that nest...or maybe even NO LIFE at all... :-(

[@VCC-CLASSES]

We should not heart our parents

[@choonjalee9707]

Animal world and human world, compete for survival on stronger one hits weaker one. This is for survival of life. But it’s hard to watch. Animals specially mother bird does not give simpathy on young one. Too bad. Mother bird should separately not so much give food on Aggressive stronger one but she does feeding more to stronger one. It’s not justified.

[@milo5524]

Shameful attitude of the older ! 😡
