Infanticida -
Kati does what she has to do to raise at least the other three chicks. Unfortunately, she does it in a way that is unbearable for us humans.This video is intended for ornithologists and other intrested. It is not intended for people who think they can skip their hatred of these animals.We humans take the habitat of the animals and force them, to do so. As we can see, storks are not able to kill their chicks. In the end, the chick died of severe injuries.
White Storks Ciconia ciconia parents were observed to kill their smaller chick in 9 out of 63 nests observed during a three-year study. Infanticidal parents were caring for larger broods and laid larger clutches than non-infanticidal birds. Males killed the chick in 8 out of 9 cases. Victims were born from the last-hatched egg in 4- and 5-egg clutches, they were the lightest in their brood and grew at lower rates than their nestmates during the days preceding their elimination. The last-hatched nestlings in 4-chick broods had lower pre-fledging survival rates than their elder sibs. Potential victims contributed a low fraction to parents' reproductive output, and 4-chick broods were especially costly to raise because parents provisioned them both more frequently and for longer nestling periods. Hence, the presence of an extra chick seems to lower the benefit/cost ratio to parents rearing a large brood once its elder siblings have hatched successfully. If nestlings do not compete aggressively for food, parents would be selected to eliminate the extra chick themselves. This hypothesis could provide an explanation for the existence of parental infanticide also in other species.

Amazing how people here are trying to assign morality to an animal. There is no morality in animals. There’s no right or wrong. There’s just survival.
Thank you for your comment
@@vincentearth4949 survival of the fittest. Babies that are weak are often killed or end up dying someway because species only need the best to carry the genes, not the weak. The less mouths to feed the better, and they only need to feed the strong.
Just survival? If the stork wants to get rid of the smallest one, because his instincts tell him so, he could just throw him over the edge.
This stork looks like he is enjoying to torture the young. May "natural behaviour" is just another expression for bloodthursty killer.

There was a stork nest on my property above a tree. One morning, I was look down at my property and I saw a stork pecking and moving one of its babies (I'm assuming it's the weakest baby stork), couple minutes later... the mother knock off the baby from the nest. I ran down to the bottom of that tree and surprised that the baby stork was still alive. So I took the baby stork, clean its wounds, fed it, and the baby stork was healthy and strong again.
How is the stork now? Did it grow up fully?
Did he get revenge on mom?

The mother's intention is to rid the nest of the weak ones so the strong can survive.
She can only feed so many.
I've noticed that whenever my broody hens reject a chick (rare, but happens), I'm never able to rehab it. It's like they know this chick won't make it, so why bother wasting energy? And they just move on.

That little chic is a warrior! To last that long...
I witnessed such a story in our nest near my house.
Luckily, I was nearby and was able to pick up the 5-day-old chick from the nest. I was shocked - what to do with it?
Then he calmed down, read the advice and began to raise him instead of storks. That's how we lived. The storks raised four in the nest, and I raised the fifth on the ground.
I made him a separate nest in the barn. He fed fish, mice and chickens. He grew up strong and even began to fly earlier than his brothers in the nest. But this is a lot of work and it is difficult to do it every year.
To anyone wondering why they do this, storks usually would like to spend their resources and time on children that have a chance of succeeding in life, so if there’s a child that is too weak or small they’ll take them out. It’s cruel but with how unforgiving nature is anyways, it’s understandable.
The baby stayed alive for a long time, maybe that little one was stronger than she thought ❓
Cecelia overton okay but fr like for such a small guy he lasted long chile 🤨
It’s because other animals have a stronger will to live
@@Mariofredx someone needs a green lantern ring

This is common among storks, a lot of you may know that parents sometimes kill or discard chicks that are weak or small not to endanger the rest. This chick from what I research was not doing so well but still kept trying to go back to the mom, eventually the researchers found the poor chick dead the next day. Though this is barbaric and look cruel, this is how nature is
Do you think the other young chicks will remember this when they become full grown storks?

I know it is about survival but it is still painful to watch. Poor thing did not do anything wrong and is most likely wondering what it did or why is this happening to it. Wish the mother would have had a quicker way to do it. Like dropping it from the nest or something. I don't know.
Very interesting! At 8:39 even one of the siblings took a peck at the frail chick. So besides the mother eliminating the unfit of the species, it may be to teach the others in the clutch just how to do it, as they watched with great excitement. Otherwise the adult could just drop the frail chick out of the nest and out of the way. Thanks for sharing this video.

Why do you guys compare human morals with this animals.
facts.
Because throughout history, humans have "chosen" to act like animals, respectively put.
This is a boss question ✊
Dexter Amores It’s because we possess an important evolutionary trait common to social animals like dolphins, elephants, and whales (among others): empathy. This trait helps our chances of survival because it means we protect and save each other. Humans aren’t the only animals to impose their empathy/sentiment upon nature. Dolphins and whales save other species (including humans) from predators even if they don’t gain anything from it. They don’t do it for survival, because they put themselves at risk. Anyway, having empathy (a natural, evolutionary trait not specific to humans with social contract/ethics) for an animal being preyed upon exercises our primal nature. The real question is: why are so many people here hell-bent on demeaning people expressing the positive side of human nature?
@@franklinconde7316 they are still animals. Not humans

i'm actually quite surprised that baby lasted that long. i actually feel sorry for the little one.
It’s pathetic how humans are so emotionally insecure and sheltered that they can’t fathom animals doing primal things. Morality is a human construct. It does not exist in nature. It’s all about survival and pure logic.
also, dumb first time parents exist in nature too. It's not uncommon for inexperienced animals to make mistakes which result in demise. Obviously, the event in this video is very intentional. But for example, if a parent accidentally injured offspring or made them sick, they sometimes have to finish the job (and even eat the evidence) in order to not attract more predators to the nest.
It’s crazy cause everytime it twitches the mothers like: oh you still kickin huh?? And jus goes full force on the little guy

This is not the only bird that does this, it seems odd but it is nature and it is instinct.
Really amazing. I always thought fledgling birds of all species were victims of other predators or an unforgiving environment.
The offspring literally survived for almost half an hour with a broken neck, tough one tbh make me wonder If it really was the weakest or not.
It was the smallest and it might of been a issue with not enough food in the mothers opinion. Kill the "weakest" to save the rest. Rodents do the same, even dogs have been known to do it. Though normally not so brutal. Most of the time they just drop the chick out of the nest.
She could have stabbed him through the neck
Oddly, they don't do this, I've seen them just drop them off the side of the nest but the shaking seems to be the normal way sadly.
@Wheezing - I was thinking the same, if you watch the very beginning of the clip (00:31) it already looks like the chics up front is bruised & flopping his neck all over the place. If you listen to the group you can tell one of them is chirping as if it had an injured neck.... the mother gets confused and grabs the wrong one whom ends up being the little fighting warrior till the very end.
**This was definitely a mistake by mom**
Not everything dies instantly from a broken neck surprisingly. A cat could survive with a broken neck and walk around, but a broken neck will eventually kill any creature, whether it’s sooner or later.

@@cesare_1302 i don't have a cat :(
An adult bird could have died putting stress on the bird that was left to feed all the babies. There could be a shortage of food where they are due to human interference. The other chicks may have been feeding more than that one and that looks like weakness or illness and therefore, a waste of energy getting food to feed them all when she could use her energy to feed the stronger ones. It could be a number of things. But it all boils down to nature. We can’t project human emotions and morals on animals that act on instinct. We just have to trust they know what the hell they are doing. We’re not the birds.
One thing for certain is that baby bird went out a warrior 3 times it got up after being ragdolled by its mother/father thats some strength
I appreciate that by this means we are allowed to see the reality of things and what nature and survival are really

@@jatindergill1875 its weak
No.1 law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, probably the weakest chick of the brood, just don't understand why the chick couldn't have just been ejected from the nest swiftly rather than the slow agonising death??
for people who are crying about this, you need to understand what its like to be a wild damn animal. they dont have free access to food or water like us, they need to survive and will do anything to survive. so stop being babies and understand how animals work, also the chick was probably the weakest and killing off weak animals is in a sense a good way to keep the genes of the animal strong, it helps the animal survive more

I've read some comments and people feel some kind of way about how animals do these things to the weakest ones but even us humans treat each other like this and still think its normal.
What's worse is that people are doing the same in multiple ways for example rejection for not accepting the frailties or weaknesses of others

It's not about survive of the fittest! It's about lack of food. Where there is enough food, everyone survives. They do not take notice when a chick is sick. It just dies and is discarded or part of the nest.
@@liznm-natur-channel it definitely is about survival of the fittest. That was the weakest the others were stronger, the fittest survived the weakest didnt.
@@liznm-natur-channel I do not think so. How mother-bird can calculate how much meal she could find??? The whole forest is around them, food is everywhere. I think that she killed the least fitted of child to prevent bad gene propagation in population
@@liznm-natur-channel Birds are insanely smart. The truth is that it probably isn't about food, although birds will abandon chicks, usually the whole nest, if they can't find enough food, and not exactly survival of the fittest either. If you compare the baby being killed to the other three, its not as fluffy, not as big, the beak isn't as yellow. I breed birds, and a mother will either remove a chick from the nest if it isn't well, or just stop feeding it. Sometimes baby birds are born with congenital defects that prevent them from thriving. I've seen parents refuse to sit on a particular baby or refuse to feed it. They may not make a conscious decision to abandon a baby, but their instincts tell them to and they do it.
@@Vadim_Ozheredov most wildlife have very specific foods they eat, an if they are struggling to find that said prey item they will cull the weaker members. It's a pretty common characteristic that even humans have actually practiced historically.

This is the equivalent of what a mother does to her unborn child in an abortion. As everyone is saying in the threads, animals have no morality standards, just like when an abortion occurs.
This is common among Storks as they try to keep the stronger chicks alive when food is short. That's why they choose the weakest one.

Yep was totally hoping for a drop right at the end...im displeased with no real ending... i mean without a push from nest the little guy totally could have pulled thru this very very scarring moment which builds him up in grand scheme of thing in a sense of personality ya know ... which he will then pass on to his chicks when he has chicks of his own... except he will prevail where his mother has fail. By snapping all the little babies necks instead just out just one. But in doing so he relizes how blind he has been. His mother didnt snap his neck and just treat him like bag pipes out of anger. She did it out of love. as painful as it was, it could have been alot worse" he thinks to himself". And just then his vision blurs and he remebers mother sitting there as she was all those years ago after making a pretzel knot outa his neck. Its not painful this time. He sees things clearly now. So clearly he recalls his whole full life from him wishing pretzeling his kids necks to the bird he made them with and even the first song they kissed to. And then he recalls the most important detail. That all this was just wishful thinking and that he was in reality, taking his last breath. And in that last breath he lived a lifetime...aaaaaannnd then actully for reals dies.
i was watching to see if they bird would yeet this off the side till i read your comment...spoiler
When the baby bird was at the edge of the nest it gave me flash backs of mufasa
I wonder why she felt the need to let it die???…….
I see a lot of comments about people finding this sad or cruel, or about how this is just nature, but I can't help but wonder, because many birds are such dedicated parents, if it's something that's at all difficult for them to do. Sacrificing the weakest one to ensure the survival of the others. She was unable to kill the chick quickly, and the siblings seemed distressed, and calmed when she sat on them (comforting, maybe?), so I really can't help but wonder what these birds must be thinking or going through. To them, it may just be something that had to be done, they can't communicate to us so we'll never know for sure, but I think it's interesting to think about it sometimes. I hope the other chicks thrived thanks to this decision.
I guess the best way to compare this is euthanasia for an animal that you know won't live well, we try our best to make it quick and painless, but for this parent that's not an option, all she has is a beak. She's doing the best she can, as all wild animals always do, please do not hate her.
P.S, before anyone comments about anthropomorphizing, trust me, I know, I'm only pondering possibilities and pointless sentiment on a nest of birds I'll forget in a week. It's just a bird, but curiosity is part of human nature, let me wonder in peace.
Thank you to the uploader for sharing this, it's very interesting!
It could just be the only way the stork can grab it's children, but it also seems like they are purposefully trying to snap it's neck in order to kill it faster, though obviously that task is much harder with a beak, you can't fault it for the attempt at a swift ending. Even if it can only grab by the neck, the fact the mother goes back to attempt to kill the chick multiple times despite it clearly being unable to compete for food I believe shows some compassion, as it could've just let the chick starve to death.
Edit : Also when the stork adult sits down, it seems to face towards or keep the dying chick in eye sight as if to ensure it dies relatively soon.
Well put and thought out. Agreed and enjoy curiosity in peace.
The birds are thinking what’s for dinner
I wonder at which point the parent decided to kill it. Did it happen rather spontaneously or did it observed the situation for a longer time

@@LegendaryP-sl7gf it's nature, would you rather have all four chicks starve and not make it to full maturity or kill one and the others live long enough to raise there own chicks
@@LegendaryP-sl7gf i think I saw some blood, but probably broke it's neck / strangle / blood loss
@@gecko2993 I think they mean how technically, not morally lmao
Why would you do this to me mom? 😢
That little guy was still going even at the end of this video. Tough S.O.B. But this is nature. It's not bad, it's not good. It simply is.
Madre malvada y vaga, por no querer alimentar otra boca más . Otras aves alimentan a todos. No me pareció que este polluelo estuviera enfermo o débil, le sobraba uno

These birds seem to take an extremely long time to kill their offspring but not their prey.
Do they even kill the prey or just break the bones?
They are unable to kill them usually. Just severely injuring the chick and it will die of its injuries. However she might be holding back since its her baby and not a prey that she's going to eat....
She doesn't have the beak or the strenth do kill it outright.
dr4kz0r McDonald’s lovin it
Yea looks like the bird can just pick it up in it's beak and throw it or drop it out of the nest. The parent bird Seemed to enjoy crushing it's head and neck
I saw the same thing happen in a nest of eaglets. The mother killed the smallest and weakest bird. It's tragic to watch but nature can be terribly cruel. The sad thing is that the victim fights like hell to stay alive.
i bet she does not feel anything like we could imagine, not feeling bad about it, neither like she is saving the others, i bet she only feels like it must be done
When animals do good, people: “animals have hearts and conscience, and I won’t believe otherwise. This video is proof: look how kind and gently this animal is. It wanted to help and assist the poor creature, etc.”
When animals do bad, people: “oh you can’t judge animals by our moral standards, animals aren’t cruel, it’s just instinct, etc.”
Hah, people. What crude little animals.
Right., justify double standards..cause live by that themselves.
COR7G ER7G what the hell are yo talking about? Did I compare domesticated animals with wild animals? Cats with birds? Uhm, no I didn’t. I used animals in both instances. And people talk like this about ALL animals, so my comment still stands.
@@cor7ger7g43 Informative and well written input.
Right, different pressures create different responses according to tools in possession including ourselves given adequate responses. Animals and humans have enhanced relationships derived the ages, companions, devoted pets, beneficial each in bygone era's, since time begun a very long time inset unison a dependency each other. Its my belief we are better the acquaintance with nature herself on all levels, whether distant or closely vicinity all her mysteries. Thru her uniqueness as splendor we can know much more of ourselves.
Gratuitous we, as humans with much more so an opened window of selection(s) in responses opted can negotiate the terms survival in trial and error., allowing for alot of error involved or we should be extinct already. 🤔 The wild arena less forgiving of error narrows results an almost rigid response system we may oft call cruel, it's hard to witness the abrupt displays times, when and where animals set beneath extreme externals, routed down a predetermined pathway followed without remorse. Solely a human attribute is regret. Ruthless or brutal works, as survival we see in acknowledge, however not the only road taken leading beyond the horizon another day lived. My beef isn't with the mother bird, she's still caring for the remaining three, beneath uncertain resources at her disposal, no easy task. Her actions sanctioned by an unseen force we call evolution, for whatever the reasons of pressure exerted supply in demand met or not met, causing an instinctual reflex. Life/death rejection in likeness or similarity when conquering lions kill young from another male or zebra stallions the same distant foals, to bring females into estrus, pass on own genetic material. Harsh reactionary influx such pressures invoked endangering species already hard-pressed habitat loss ect. infringed upon by our species the entire planet. Amidst such havoc of concerns allover an interest, a centralised idea should remain constant our heads intact an awareness all specifics, even minorly counts, if only individuals in concentrate of mindset save in protect, can serve a debt repaid. Perhaps I'm not world scale differences being made, but each of us what allotted together can make sincerely an effort to preserve. We can reduce undue pressure upon species we may very well be responsible institute destruction in many ways unbeknownst, responsible ourselves added pressures. Pollution may of weakened the baby bird's constitution triggering the mother to reject. Possibilities disenfranchisments exist inset our opportunity's advanced disclude other species. Such being the case, I opt to aid and assist, not negligently stand aside and do nothing to help preserve wild species or even domestic that matter.
The untamed enjoyed in different ways than intimate, close companions like our domestic friends,. Perhaps a zoo setting to live out days peaceably, adding to the pleasure of untold others in that atmosphere if yet contained, still wild expression viewed or released back into wild once adult. My view is if narure can afford to lose, spare thru no fault own, as no moral code involved or designated, surely there's no harm or damages done in our gaining any alike this forlorn chick, or other's that matter forsaken, doomed circumstances outside control, to young to attend why not we? I have had the pleasure of renouncing the death sentence, never regretted attempts to save though some unsuccessful. Both species all the happier, in settled another chance more conducive success in survival entire spectrum nature. No, I haven't always saved in won the struggle, but have always tried and that alone suffices my gratefulness shown the gift of nature given myself and others who act on behalf of her in distress. Rescue in peace should be our proud motto.
@@kencur9690 Pardon myself. I believe other commentary meant towards yours in offset agreement, different codes of conduct and humans assigning human tendencies in one case absolving in another not quite balanced outlook even if meant well. Incidentally myself had to read twice to get the entire drift, first time I concluded an objection but second I think not., rather roundabout agreement.
p.s. I have witnessed this inconsistancy in person's concerning animal behavior fair one case, then foul another. 👌
Kingdom Freedom hey it wasn’t directed at you man: I liked your comment. There was another guy who replied after you: he deleted the reply.
looks like this little guy is actually the strongest one in the pack. Its not giving up easily.
True...
😢😢😢
Truth
and the other ones would need to give up why? theyre not sick
LOL, because it didn't die within 5 minutes?
I see nothing but nature being nature.
Exactly. People getting all sentimentality from this shit. Nature is nature, don’t try to change the progress of nature.
I noticed the outcast stork was making a different noise than the other chicks. Perhaps it is diseased and thats why this happened? Just a thought.
I noticed that too...i wonder why this was not considered
Not me watching this thinking it be easier to just throw him over 😳🥺
Not me either
The kids will feed on the dead body . Every food counts
It would’ve brought predators to their home
It's a girl not a boy?
@@lorenafitnessblogs9418 is that a question or statement ?
I'm a bit fed up with oversensitive people in the comments acting as though this is an act of cruelty that we can apply human morality to. The video itself comes with a sensitivity disclaimer. This is a completely natural occurence in the wild. That mother is doing what she must to ensure that the strongest genes carry down the legacy. Animals and humans are on two completely different playing fields.
I hear you on that but we as humans have set a system in place so that no human has to resort to such. Stay up tho
@@wherethewatermeetstheshade
Lord, honey ....she knows that.
Preach sister
I just wish they had teeth so that way it would finish the job faster cus the poor baby had to suffer but thats nature
@@wherethewatermeetstheshade It still exists in our society, just not so severe. It's called bullying and social rejection.
The researchers maybe should have prevented this since it was happening before their eyes, but apparently that's what researchers are for to see his death at the end as well
yes, before our eyes, but more than 1000 km away from my home 🤣If you intervened, you would have to take all chicks with you . Parents would never come back to this place - the young would not be able to survive, after they were released. You should think before you write something like that. It's better to watch dogs and cats. Humans have already caused enough damage on the pets. So stay away from things you don't understand.
Yes karma hits back to the fellow researchers just sitting and watching all that show 😡🤬🤬and doing nothing
Me as a kid not knowing what is the circle of life: THAT IS THE SQUARE OF DEATH!!
