My cat did something similar to this. She had 4 kittens in our closet. After a few days she took one of them and put it under our bed. The kittens werent walking yet so we knew it would die. We brought it back to the closet with the other kittens and the mom cat ended up accepting it. When they got a little older we realized this kitten was not like the others. It seemed "slow" maybe even dumb. Luckily when we gave the kittens away the lady took one of the brothers as well. Turned out pretty good.

I was watching the livestream of this nest, when this incident happened. From what I recall, the majority opinion was that this parent killed off this youngster, due to the food situation. The other parent had died, after flying into hydro wires. It was too much work for this remaining parent, to try and gather enough food to feed all of the offspring. So a sacrifice had to be made. And if I remember correctly, it was after this little one's demise, that the landowner started climbing up a ladder each day and dumping a bucket of fish into the nest, to try and help insure the survival of the remaining youngsters.

[@marx9619]

Yeah surely hawks, owls, foxes and raccoons have nothing to do with it.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Yeah there was a study that showed starts that committed infanticide actually had more successful births and fledgings in a season. It was only one study over one season but they studied like 69 nests and I think something like 9 out of the 69 at infanticide. And they were a little bit more successful and brooding and fledging successful nesrs. Surely it's some kind of method to triage limited resources and food. It's hard to watch. You also wonder like when exactly do they make their decision... All of a sudden they're feeding the thing and treating it like any bird and then just one second they make that calculation that this isn't going to work out.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@marx9619Right although in this case I think the reason it killed it the child was because of limited food and it had to triage. Study shows storks that commit infanticide actually have more successful fledgings and overall more of their chicks make it to adulthood. I forget the specific study but they looked at 69 nests. Or something. Maybe 9 or 10% of them committed infanticide and they on average produced more living fledgings that made it out of the nest and into adulthood. So there is a reason for it and it's possible if it didn't do it and then some of the other chicks might not have made it but... As a human I refuse to call it good parentinh. 😢

@@Medoeza I’m not associating it with human behavior. I said, “it’s like”, not, “it must be,” or, “it’s a fact.” I agree animals don’t have human behavior. However they also show anger, aggression, pain, retaliation, sadness, anxiety, fear, happiness, etc. Who’s to say it wasn’t taking it out on its siblings? It’s not a human behavior, aggression while under attack is instinct. The difference between us is we understand right and wrong, good and evil, cognizant thinking, and advanced psychological thinking. Otherwise animals do express many of the same things we do. So this isn’t just human behavior. I’ve seen monkeys being attacked Attack smaller monkeys out of frustration. Same goes with birds, alligators, other mammals, etc.

[@jj-vu5ov]

Mom seems to be reacting to the cries of one baby which is instigated by a different one, which the little one gets blamed for I think. 6:37 the one stork laying down in front starts crying louder as its being poked and prodded on its wing by the other one in the middle. Then the little one next to him is subtly touching it with its beak just as mother stork notices at 7:00 and 7:10. Must think hes the one thats causing problems, so she pushes him off. And instead of taking the admonishing and quieting down, he goes into fight mode and starts pecking all of them. Mom has no time for it and out he goes.

That's very common, the eating of dead offspring. Can't give up a meal like that in nature. Also, get your cat spayed and this sort of thing can be avoided. 😘

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

See that's kind of strange because there was no shortage of food. I assume you are providing the cats with plenty of food. I don't know I'm not an expert maybe it wasn't producing a milk or something. I'm curious why a cat would kill it's young but I guess tons of films. But in captivity I find it a little strange since there's basically endless food for them But pandas will only raise one kid even if they have two. In rescue centers they will actually trick the parent by rotating them. In

[@iwarenge]

@@michaelcorcoran8768 Kitten could've been disabled or stillborn since OP didn't know if the kitten had died beforehand.

[@Oswald_Thatendswald]

That's actually normal behavior when their babies die, believe it or not. If she were a stray, it would have been absolutely necessary to eat it, not only because she would need the meal but the body would attract other animals, and potentially make her other babies sick just being near it. Eating it would be the best way for her to dispose of any babies that passed away. The fact she was a pet just shows it's instinctual behavior and not necessarily dependent on the environment. I only say all this to give you an insight as to why your cat did that, since I imagine it was disturbing to see.

[@skacel7]

@@Oswald_Thatendswald Very interesting, thanks for this. She was a rescue, so she was previously a stray before I took her in. Makes a lot of sense, what you typed there.

[@RandomIdiotGS]

It may seem brutal and obviously storks outright are/can be (and I am aware: storks very easily and very commonly reduce their own brood quantity), but I also think there is more to it. Birds and similar predators usually use various ways to check which off their offspring seem strong, healthy and feisty and which aren't. Considering it was smaller than the other chicks the stork parent already had its eyes on this one. Although one or two pecks of the parent looked a bit tough, I think initially it was fine as the parent stork was also keen to mostly ignore the small stork once it responded and then passively rejoined the brood... until it kept pecking at its siblings. That didn't look playful anymore. It wouldn't be weird if the parent stork caught on to that by instinct which may have lead to some matter of animalistic realization that if that little stork grows up and continues with that behaviour, it could cause severe injuries in the rest of the brood. Or in other words, the parent stork probably instinctually saw the little stork as problematic either way and decided it might as well be thrown out then.

[@jor7137]

It seemed like the other chicks didn´t really feel the pecking by the small chick. It seems like the mom discharged it because she thought it was sick and wouldn´t make it to adulthood anyway. It propably was half the weight of the other chicks. And the surrounding area doesn´t look like it´s sparse of food.

[@patrickw6469]

Huh

[@MazingerZ3001]

What?! It’s just how wild animals treat their weakest offspring. Birds eliminate the smallest and weakest in their brood, outrightly kill them off and feed them to the remaining baby birds. For the birds, it’s one less mouth to feed and thus ensure the survival of the rest. It’s all instinct not emotions with animals.

[@DelRae]

That is a very Interesting observation, and i wish we had more footage to actually see if this smaller chick was much more hostile than it’s siblings to prove it tbh

[@lizzyyork]

The smallest doesn't usually start pecking the siblings until after its initially grabbed by the mother. I've seen this in several stork nests and I think that pecking is them attempting to get the larger siblings to pick their heads up so they can draw the attention away from the runt and allow them to burrow in the middle to hide under them. The parents just generally get rid of the runt in most of their broods.

[@Lynx_Animat3]

For anybody wondering all birds do this (except for Penguins) mothers will tend to kick out (aka throw drop peck or eat) the runt of the nest so it’s less work and not as stressful for them this occurs mostly every time a bird has more than one egg (offspring) just remember nature isn’t always beautiful.❤

[@tannenbaum3807]

Yall are doing everything in your power to keep mom on her pedestal. The baby acted up in protest to its mom biting the shit out of his head, eventually injuring it. As soon as it would calm down mom would start picking on it again, hurting it then it would act out again. Mom was fucking him up and his only instinct was to fight back, even if he wasnt aware of what he was fighting against.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Dude it's just how nature works. It is absurd judge a freaking stork. They don't get to go to the grocery store and buy food. This happens in about 9% of stork nests and the ones that do actually have more successful fledglings than the ones that don't. Don't get me wrong it makes me upset to see it but you can't judge a stork through your human lens. Entirely possible that killing that chick made it possible for all the other chicks to survive. It's literally why they have multiple checks, it's a redundancy. The goal in life is not you provide the best life possible for each chick... That's how human's handle it. My mom would give me her last meal for her entire life! Would never give up on me. But humans are not storks and it's just a fact that among birds and other species runts off and are killed by either their parents or their siblings or intruders Think of it this way. That little baby had a short and unpleasant life but it's existence it's part of a system of reproduction that has enabled the species to survive for a lot longer than humans. It's sad but that mother knows what it's doing instinctively.. and it doesn't understand death and the finality of it and the moral implications of it. Birds aren't capable of empty or understanding the nature of existence!

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

And it didn't kill the bird because of the bird was misbehaving, the bird was chirping because it was hungry because there was not enough food. Baby's aggression was a side effect of a lack of resources. But it was the lack of resources that led to its death not the mother being annoyed with its constant bickering or whatever.

The runt thought it was being bullied by its sibling but it was really its own parent. Maybe the parent thought it was food cause it was smaller than the others? The parent did not like it retaliating against the other siblings. In its final moments the Runt finally stood up for itself and attacked the parents feet then got taken out for it.

An important lesson; just because she's your mother doesn't mean she loves you. As humans we're expected to be better than animals. But assess your own mothers on a case-by-case basis. Also interesting is that the little bird simply can't comprehend that its mother is attacking it. So instead it starts pecking at its siblings in vain.

Last to hatch is always the smallest, and the instincts of the bird tells it to cut its losses, and eliminate the weak. Their job is to make more healthy birds.
