The young hawk was brought into the nest by the female. It is hard to watch, but part of nature. Please step away if it's too much to watch.

[@Gabor.P.]

This was just a glimpse of reality. Look at the big picture. Big bang 13.8 billion years Our galaxy is about 11 billion years. Our sun and the earth are about 4.6 billion years old. Humans on earth (Homosapiens) around 40 000 years. Who knows how long we have but in 2.5 billion years' time we collide with the next-door galaxy (andromeda) If we somehow made it through as a merger our sun will turn into a red giant in about 5 more billion years then after a few more millions of years blow up as a supernova ....... this was and is and will be. We are in this like a blink of an eye. Just think right now how many Ukrainian children and elderly are suffering. There's a saying if we don't see or know then our lives keep going as is. OK, I'm not saying if we don't know and see then it doesn't exist but think of religious people who think God exists. So you see this is the circle of life not only on the earth but in our whole universe. But stay with reality I saw this now I know what is going on for the first time, I accept it and move on and know. Would I watch this next time? Maybe not cause I know how it works. Maybe in the hawk nest they do the same only with a mouse or a rat. But I know how this works so I don't need to see things like this anymore. Educational to them and to me too and yes nature is cruel like humans can be too.

I think this eaglet may just be front-runner for strongman for the Mafia, because that's pretty hardcore. However, I have to admit, no-one ever feels bad about the fish that come in, even if they are alive. It's what the parents provided as food. Birds of Prey eat each other, even the young sometimes.

Man.. this is tough but they need to survive too.. circle of life..

[@RoJoMe]

Right around the 43:30 mark, it goes from the look of horror to a glassy look in its eyes…probably the moment of death. SMH

[@elmalanmalan2175]

Zoom the camera i can't really see it well

[@pitbull65taz]

10:35 little dude starts to figure out hes on the menu and starts kickin...too late, he shoulda bolted and jumped for it. While the two eaglets are waiting for it to die on it's own and jump into their mouths.

[@ashleynikirk8591]

Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one that was waiting for it 2 jump..

[@pitbull65taz]

@@ashleynikirk8591 LOL, yeah, I was hopin'...but nothing doing.

[@UBoot345]

Ist das normal, dass die Altvögel soooo lange dem Nest fern bleiben???

[@michaelmccauley14]

I think that's the hardest video to watch, the hawklet just didn't want to die, mother cruel nature

After seeing this, I want to change our national bird to something else. We have a freaking cannibal bird as our national symbol LOL.

@@mwsales2773I know this is old, but many animals participate in this. Carnivores must feed. They can’t just go order food when they r hungry like we can, they have no idea when their next meal is. If they see an opportunity they have to take it, or they die.

You can see them figuring out that if they stand on it & get the talons in then it’s easier to pick bits off.

There is something uniquely horrifying about being killed by someone who sucks at killing you. Imagine the following horror movie: a woman is kidnapped and tortured for the next two hours by a completely incompetent torturer who mangles every attempt to torture her. The audience will laugh for the first few times until the existential horror of what they are seeing dawns on them.

The poor thing seems to have survived until at least sometime after the 40 minute mark. There seemed to be a few cuts as well so there is no telling the true time that chick spent suffering. Nature has no chill.
