Feeding Baby Falcons

Baby falcons eat every 3-4 hours! Here is one afternoon feeding on 4/24/12.

[@deannasalem9195]

They are awfully cute and fluffy...

[@nahbro104]

They're like "No, we're good thanks"

[@dobbers9921]

Jesus Christ. The little one had a crop the size of a golfball and still it was snatching grub almost right out of the mouth of the larger one. That larger one, on the other hand, I must commend for their patience. Sure, they are well fed so competition wouldn't be expected to be fierce but still.

[@mortalclown3812]

I'm impressed, too - a raptor with healthy Napoleonic complex: good to see.

[@branevans3705]

"Must be an awful job," said no one. Lol. Your organization is amazing. Everyone seems so knowledgeable and empathetic. These hawklets are beyond adorable.

[@creaturesofthewild5247]

1:07 The grey falcon is thinking "Hello darkness my old friend..." 😂

[@mayonnaiseeee]

from muppet to glorious falcon!

[@mirzayi1914]

They become full together at the same time😁😂

[@Fadedecho1]

Ho could something so awkward be so darn cute!!! Just gorgeous babies. I'm late on comment for 8 years ago. 🤯

[@phasm42]

White falcon: c'mon, I'm smaller!

[@Jukelikesgames]

They’re so cute at this stage. Just fluffy scremmy lil poop machines.

[@Brontosore]

poop machine gun LOL

[@LengKingg]

Seagulls and pigeons are the poop machine

[@pale_profile7237]

They don’t poop as much as geese, geese are a different story. These guys can be used to hunt.

[@fayadjohnstone9855]

Are they 2 different species??

[@davidsoltai8905]

Looks like our dinner table with nine kids

[@zebredpooding]

How freaking cute

[@yolandaaedo2108yolalla]

Guatita llena el corazon se contenta. Porque uno es mas grande que el otro?

[@mortalclown3812]

It is the way of nature. Fwiw, female raptors are about 33% larger than males, but it could also be for another reason.

[@Infectiraptor2024penudiom]

the Gray falcon is realy cute

[@grownew1213]

Are they wild

[@FrederickDunn]

What are they eating?

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Falcons typically eat other birds so it is probably frozen chicks, skinned and chopped into small pieces.

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

When will they be able to join an animal alliance with a Fox, a Hare, and a Frog?

[@parakeet8157]

Dying of cuteness😊

[@xx_queen_blitz_xx4888]

THEY ARE SO FUCKING CUTE!!! XD

[@vantruongngo3922]

Mình thấy nó dễ thương quá

[@СветланаКозлова-щ2с]

НУ..АППЕТИТ..У..ПТИЧЕК..ОТЛИЧНЫЙ!!!

[@WarthogDemon]

Why does it look like the white one's chest is slowly splitting open?

[@vipervaquerosurbanos6276]

Hermoso video, saludos desde Chile

[@ignaciosandoval869]

The grey one looked like a ball of hair

[@mitkoogrozev]

A reply after 2 years! :D Or it looks like a dust bunny!

[@soohyunjang5540]

Are those sounds of camera taking pictures? I'd probably take million pictures like that lol

[@engels17]

When no one is looking anymore... Gray chick: Siblicide time!

[@randybobandy9828]

Exactly! He was eye balling him like "as soon as nobody is around you are my next meal!".

[@mortalclown3812]

Since they're both fed regularly and well, this is far less likely to occur.

[@523m2]

可愛い♪

[@falconchick4116]

so cute😍😍😍

[@ABC1900.]

Fènykèpezès van a hàttèrben?

[@theresaprice310]

They are tooo cute

[@HaiNguyen-zh8cv]

Lovely.

[@dany666]

01:07 the grey one is like really nigguh ? XD

[@cashew515]

Andrei Daniel What do you mean trailer trash stinking armpits. You are pathetic along with the 64 other jackasses that gave you the thumbs up.

[@whatthehail1161]

Drakon590 he’s probably mad cause his trendy it is to say nigga over anything lol

[@pak3655]

Falcons from galaxy life

[@raisaismailova903]

Oû sont ses parents ?

[@austin1839]

I hope they will be released when ready.

[@mortalclown3812]

It's always the goal... You realize this, right?

[@theresaprice310]

If they were in the wild the white one would have pushed the gray one out of the nest already they are not good at sharing

[@ptitkoala2290]

J'adore ces trop beau ❤❤❤

[@jawadabbas6345]

[@paulahill4721]

Did anyone loose a Falcon in Panama City FL

## КАКИЕ КРАСИВЫЕ ОДУВАНЧИКИ...1.11.19 г. МОСКВА...

[@mortalclown3812]

🇺🇦💓

[@christinadieni1875]

why you most feeding the white one?

[@MarshaNPILoveCanada]

Actually he/she didn't, the smaller chick is more active grabbing the meal than its bigger sibling. You know, for survival? :3 He/she fed them equally. White small chick doesn't understand patient yet but I understand... Kids do that too with their siblings xD

[@mortalclown3812]

Pay attention.

[@maurilio1226]

Aaaaaawwwww

[@kingpigeon12121]

The falcons are very tender

[@БорисГСВГ3509]

))...покушали до не хочу..

[@DaughterofAnubis]

[@mannygomez5433]

[@tommykelley3948]

[@Tsinteris]

The one on the left is really plump

[@tetonraptorcenter]

Lots of down fluff!

[@davemyers524]

Is the black one a Gyralopmodno ?

[@soonwonj]

because the grey one was not so hungry.

[@liduck52]

Wheres their mom??

[@sirleideabreu6063]

Buchinho cheio, agora dormir kkkkk parabéns alimentou os bebês igualmente, creio que ambos ficaram satisfeitos kkkkk

[@정병철-u4u]

전국창녀연합대통령

[@elalaszczyk532]

Nice :-):-) :-)

[@GS-st9ns]

It was fun to watch, but I think too much food too fast. The white one crop was becoming more obvious

[@mortalclown3812]

This is exactly the speed at which the parents would feed them. Couch ninjas strike again. 🤦

[@ykk-nu1fe]

younger Baby falcons eating well....so manytime feed they are noteat

[@goverim]

Why do u use the iron pliers. Why dont u use a wooden stick

[@mortalclown3812]

Because possibility of splintering. This device is more like the parents' beak.

[@balentindelasierra2589]

Todos los pichones son bien comelones 😂😂😂👍

[@mortalclown3812]

Hawks.😊

[@vertblanc8713]

FORMIDABLE 👍👍J'ADORE ❤..j'ai abonné 👍 c'est bien de les nourrir chez-soi...vous les protégez de s'entre-tuer entre eux chez leur maman dans le nid.. 👍..

[@aa-dk8zm]

that feeding will turn them into foie gras

[@teregarza8009]

Usando pinzas de electricista para alimentarlos?

[@yoowuzzup433]

wtf the white one is eating too much. it's literally filling up its neck

[@davehigh6786]

+YooWuzzup it's filling it's crop. The crop is a pouch that birds have that they can store extra food in

[@davemyers524]

I guess it's a needle nose falcon judging by the feeling

👍☺️

[@dannypadilla7667]

Why so many click's , you're going to have about 2,000 pictures of them.

[@mortalclown3812]

You ok now? 😂

[@Zhonguoria]

Haha! I thought that "click, click, click" was the sound of them eating! How irritating (for the birds)!

[@mortalclown3812]

Why? There are lots of sounds in nature: it isn't a vacuum. They're unable to determine the difference between technology and natural noises. They probably don't know the first thing about outrage either.

[@tisaittibunmee453]

😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@alexsidenisporumbei4731]

de unde asi putea achizitiona un pui

[@aekracing3726]

🇹🇭❤️🙏

[@JohnDrakeMI6]

It tastes like Chicken !!

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Probably tastes like chicken because that's what it usually is. Dead chicks, skinned and chopped into small pieces

[@velvet0819]

用生鏽的老虎鉗餵食????

[@mortalclown3812]

You're assuming incorrectly. These are experienced raptor rehabilitators. Oy. 🤦

[@RAHULKUMAR-lb6nv]

can falcons be trained not to hunt?

[@noemibolivar5945]

RAHUL KUMAR I severely doubt it, it's a vital instinct that they have in orderer to survive. Falcons NEED to eat meat and will die if they don't. If you somehow manage to erase this important part of a falcon's identity, it will be completely dependent on you for food, and if something happens that renders you unable to care for the bird it will die in the wild for sure.

[@RAHULKUMAR-lb6nv]

Noemi Bolivar yes, you are right . but atleast we should try to do so. and if possible the falcon owner should also try to train there birds to do tricks like parrots . so that we come to know their training level

[@noemibolivar5945]

RAHUL KUMAR I think that you should look up falconry, you'd probably find it very facinating. I'm not all too familiar with the extent of what falcons can be trained to do, but I know larger birds of prey can be trained to take down drones

[@RAHULKUMAR-lb6nv]

Noemi Bolivar yes, but I am still not ready to devote soo much time, but in future I shall try . well , do you have falcons ?

[@noemibolivar5945]

RAHUL KUMAR Nope, its cool, but like you I don't have the time, energy, or money for that. I do enjoy studying birds though.

[@yolandaaedo2108yolalla]

A los animales NO SE LES AMA. Se les admira. Eso es cultura animal

[@mortalclown3812]

You're incorrect. Many humans - who are animals - love animals a great deal. The work of Anna Breytenbach and Laila del Monte - among others - has brought forth compelling information about two-way communication between our species and a variety of others. Your restrictive take on what is permissible to love is a subjective one, based entirely and ironically on emotion.

[@Luna-yb6oo]

👍👍👍❤️

[@garikm24]

Damn natural, you have bird love eating meat

[@omerfarukharmanci2199]

♥️çirkinler sizi 🇹🇷🍀🌿👍

[@mtkn744]

[@dashthethunderbird9068]

[@CarmenMartinez-vj4ii]

[@davoodehajiraj]

[@mortalclown3812]

Read about why.

That was enough ;)

[@kiransn]

I need falcons baby's

[@roxiguillermo1894]

Gracias por cuidar...desde su nacimiento a la Reina de los cielos,para ser liberada en vida salvaje;q desgraciadamente sobrevivirá una.:-(🐦📷

[@mortalclown3812]

They both survive.

[@justcoz377]

Ummm pet bhr gya ab 🐣🐣🐣

[@dilipraii]

why not sell it to KFC?

[@fraser_mr2009]

the white one is greedy

[@mortalclown3812]

They're animals and doing exactly what they need to survive. Attaching human traits to them is naive at best. At best.

[@Thebrothaisback]

Baby birds are the ugliest and almost the most helpless.

[@Zhonguoria]

No different than human kids!

[@mortalclown3812]

Mirror comment.

[@某年某月某天]

Very very very very bad feeding skill......

[@mortalclown3812]

Very very presumptuous.

[@mikescarborough9196]

Good job ruining a perfectly good video with shutter noise.

[@mortalclown3812]

In a perfect world, one of your buddies will acquaint you with volume controls. 🤦

[@mohdanuar4114]

Stupit bird

[@tpte]

This is exactly how I was fed as a baby.

[@leephi6745]

O

[@Cy93]

@King Leopold underrated comment omg 😂

[@Pango5697]

Raw meat?!?

[@Aliya-pg8xw]

What are they eating??

[@mortalclown3812]

Meat. They're raptors.

[@Pango5697]

The little one is the boss, lol

[@mortalclown3812]

☺️💯

[@mynameisnotimportant2854]

The white hawk is greedy asf

[@justjucc5655]

MyNameIsNotImportant because it’s the smaller of the two. In the wild, the grey chick would be favored by the parents. It’s instinct for the smaller chicks to try to get as much food as possible.

[@cassimir4u]

Just Jucc And the person doing the feeding is just as stupid as some of the parents by allowing the greedy little bastard to steal the others food as long as it wants. To me, it’s one of the reasons why some birds don’t continue to grow as they should because they aren’t fed enough to keep up with the greedy ones and falling behind in nutrients. That in turn causes the bird to grow weak and small which at times leads to the birds demise because by then, it’s too late for the little bird to overcome and catch up.

[@Hyraladen]

@@justjucc5655 no they won't... Many bird of prey species would leave the younger chick to die and focus on the bigger older chick

[@Hyraladen]

@@cassimir4u in nature, it's only and always about Survival of the fittest... It's not always about being fair and sharing your meals... That concept you have DOES NOT belong in Nature because Nature is a cruel place... The greedy chick is the one that would survive and reach adulthood if they were in the wild. They don't care about their siblings, they care about getting strong and older first and quick

[@Miraidon1008]

You guys are rly like they get nothing he gave them so much to eat it doesnt matter who starts being greedy

[@oxanaokoulova1699]

Happiness, love, life ❤️🦉😊👌🏻

[@MarshaNPILoveCanada]

It isn't 🦉 but this: 🦅 haha (Yeah there's no falcon emoticon) hehe
