Stork nesting behavior - chick gets attacked by parent.

Horrible, disgusting creatures. 😡🤮

Killing helpless babies is what storks do. Cruel, evil and disgusting birds.

@@lily-yanlee9277 100% correct. Normally I don’t ascribe human values and emotions to animals because they are just acting on instinct in the fight for survival…but then I stumbled upon stork snuff films LOL. I swear these birds kill just for the thrill of it and the way they torture their own offspring is pure evil. It’s strange that storks were chosen to deliver human infants in fairy tales and cartoons; I’d feel safer turning my baby over to a Siberian tiger than one of these monstrosities.

@@silvermainecoons3269 what gets me is they actively feed and take care of the chick when its totally helpless and then kill it randomly its very weird.

@@sethtone8634 Agreed, it’s very weird. I can understand sibling rivalry like in eagle nests when resources are scarce. It’s sad and hard to watch but I’m not left thinking WTF just happened like I am with storks. It just seems so random, one minute you’re taking a nap with your siblings and the next minute you’re halfway down your mom’s gullet screaming for mercy. I’ve actually started researching ornithology journals because I need to understand this behavior. I especially don’t get it when the birds are well nourished and the attack just comes out of the blue!

When she was tossing the storklet around it got caught on a branch. That branch ripped it looks like right under the belly. Poor baby...but at least he died fast well compared to the other things I see them doing to them

I wonder why they suddenly kills the chick's...evil bird

[@AdmiralGunga]

Nothing "evil" about the mother's actions towards the baby. It's called survival of the fittest. The chick obviously represented a threat to the rest of mother's offspring, thus the need to eliminate it. Nature is both beautiful and brutal at the same time.

Why do they always lay 4 eggs when they always get rid if it and very painfully, stupid birds should only have 2 and stop.

[@Wilhem275]

Mind your own business and leave those birds alone.
