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.

From all the videos Im seeing, it looks like storks are savage parents and siblings as well. There must be a reason for the harsh odds of stork survival success.
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.
My favorite is how animals generally don't have language like humans do, so there's no prolonged melodramas and manipulations. The mama stork isn't really even swift and efficient, but constantly observing and curious in her killing.
Everyone saying he is nasty cuz he was biting the siblings.... He didn't know his mom was the one hurting him so he took it out on them. Prolly thinking since he is the smallest his siblings are trying to get him. I think mama stork did this intentionally.
Times must be hard, parents will usually get rid of weakest/youngest chicks when food is scarce in order to give the bigger ones a higher chance of survival.
it's a vicious cycle. one chick is hatched weaker or is just a little unlucky and doesn't get fed, which makes it weaker and weaker, so it has less strength to fight for food, so it gets fed less and less. wild animals can't waste their energy on nursing the runt, so a sacrifice like that was the best what the stork mom could do for herself, her chicks and the smallest chick too probably
Not that its weak, but eggs are laid either at 3-5 days intervals. So naturally there will be chicks that are ahead compared to its other siblings. This time though, food maybe hard to comeby.
@@smidgen Birds hatch eggs this way so when times are tough the parents can just feed the smallest child to its older siblings, when times are good and food are plenty the parents have no desire to raise the runt and therefore threw it out.
You have to give it to the little one....he had the instinct of survival, even taking on his mother by lunging at her a few times which had her on the back foot! Such a truly sad ending though. He clearly didnt stand a chance.
He seemed to be hiding amongst his sibling initially, which made me think she might have been after him for a while prior to this video. For some reason I became aware that he might be the intended victim before the actual attack. They were so bunched together that it took me a while to see there were actually five of them, and he seemed to want to stay right in the middle.
@@TiagoNYC Though hard to judge without much history, even if that chick did make a few wobbly, confused pecks and its siblings, don't you the mother's response was a bit out of proportion?
She sacrificed the weakest to give the other ones a better chance to make it. Very sad and difficult to watch, especially the last attack with her beak, and the noisy lethal fall of the poor chick...nature is cruel sometimes. RIP little chick ;(.
I like being human. For how incredibly complicated and stressful our lives are compared to animals, we have an appreciation of other creatures that animals don’t. We have a greater capacity to love and experience the beauty of it.
The little guy was the toughest one in the family! He would have fought his way to a successful existence had his mother not taken the opportunity away from him.
Interesting the one was buried so deeply inside "his" siblings. (For a while I wasn't able to see there were (so many as!) five.) Eventually, I noticed him and suspected he might be the one for some reason, even before she started to go after him. (Perhaps "she" had been after him for a while, causing him to hide? Any history to support that?)
Baby birds usually go on top of each other to get more food, the reason why that one was below everyone was probably because he was too weak to compete with his siblings
If I ever come back as a stork, look around the nest, and realize I was last to hatch..... think I'll probably just go ahead and take a nosedive off the ledge.
@@KE-yq2eg I'm no expert, but have followed various species of bird nests for many years now. No matter the species, 99% of the time, the last to hatch is the smallest..... as the lasts' siblings have often been eating for days before he/she even enters the world.

@@mariahdominguezgomez4686 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.
Wrong choice by mama Stork, the little one was gutsy. It's not the size of the Stork in the fight, but the size of the roof on which it lands. By the way, show starts at 8:40
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
The beautiful scenery is simply stunning.Backdrop to something at this moment which wasn't so beautiful,though necessary. Momma bird knows what & why she eradicated this little one.Still brutal to see though
That baby bird had some behavioral problems. You dont see the other babies pecking their siblings over and over like that. The baby bird got corrected by the mom several times before she realised he was a threat, esoecially to poking out the eyes of his siblings, so she made a big decision. She gave him a chance to cool down and stop but he kept being violent instead of chilling. So, off he goes. Wow
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.
7:12 I like how the siblings are trying to protect him and then he starts pecking them and they're like "ok, you get what's coming to you". 9:40 the dude that was protecting him is so done with his shit.
They're not protecting him. They're trying to get to their mothers beak for the food first. But she isn't attempting to feed. She is gauging and has already selected the smallest for removal. The others are just getting the way.
My cat had kittens. 5 of them. I woke up one night and heard a crunching sound. Mother cat had taken one of the kitten under the bed and was eating her. Head. First. Utterly disgusted and I never looked at that cat the same again. No idea if the kitten had died already or if she put the final boot in, but damn.
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. 😘
OMG, so sad! He/she was a tough one, really fought back. Probably would have been a strong survivor in the wild if wasn't singled out since was smaller.
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.
She seems to have had it in for the little mite from the get-go. Strange as I thought there were less active storks in the nest and the one she discarded seemed like a bit of a fighter.
@@KebabMusicLtd im not sure, she gave him several chances after the first time and he kept pecking the hell out of his siblings. i think she was just being reactive
He was pecking his siblings so he could show his mother that he wasn’t the weakest. The mother kills off any weak or sick child to feed her healthy and older children. He was trying to show his mother that he still had potential, yet the mother knew that he was small and weak, so she tried to break his neck, but then he fell.
It's so kind of the stork to allow some scavengers to eat her weakest baby that probably wouldn't have survived anyways. And a smart way to keep her family line strong. Also, not having a decaying baby in her nest helps keep disease and pests away.
@@xxuncexx The old nazis also thought that and performed eugenics. Since nobody after WW2 wanted to be like a nazi, it was declared unethical and therefore banned.
@@Gaia_Seraphina And with modern day abortions available, weaker genetics can be rooted out safely and legally depending on the state. However, that is currently under attack in the US by republicans. And is why we must take a stand - to ensure that weak and undesirable genes cannot be allowed to pass on.
i wonder why they always seem to take a long time just to kill it, why didnt it drop it off right off the get go instead of torturing it for so long, maybe it was trying to see if it was actually worth killing so it does some tests first?
Hard to tell. Wven their eyesight is different since they have eyes on sides and not on front. And I bet she has a little bit different depth and color vision, so she may not recognise the bunch apart until she peck it a little and find out the smallest head or something.
Either it had ADHD or she was on crack when she was pregnant with him cause he was wildin out. The other 4 were pretending to be asleep after she threw ole boy overboard 😂
it seems to me, the siblings and expecially momma bullied him a little bit, so its angry and compensate the frustrations. or it try to behave "strong" to not killed, because it knows, what will happen maybe (genecode)
It's nature. Think about it. If you have 5 subscriptions and your salary is SOMEHOW less than what you pay for those subscriptions, you have to cut one. Just like how the mother can't nourish all those chicks so it has to cut one of for the good. Everything happens for a good reason, even if it doesn't feel right.
@@halalboyseif I understand that. I’m not bothered by nature being nature. I was saying that the storklets calls sound like something from the pits of hell + squeaky toys.
@@halalboyseif thank you though. Glad you’re not someone who’s like, “my god, storks are EVIL and DISGUSTING! How could they?!” And treat it from human logic. Those kinds of people are ridiculous.
There is no “good” or “bad.” The stork is genetically programmed for this behavior because its ancestors who had the same genetic program were more likely to have offspring who survived and passed on those genes, compared to other storks without those genes. In other words, in terms of genes getting passed on successfully from generation to generation over millions and millions of years, doing it this way (i.e., killing the runt) apparently works better than not doing it this way.
Is this common behavior among stork mothers? Hmmm...just wondering how it chose to get rid of that smallest or maybe youngest among the brood to get rid of.
Pretty sure he is frantically pecking the others (and the ground) is not hostility but because he has began starvation and is trying to get some sustenance. All of the others probably get all the food before him so he is always too weak and now at the point of agony. Mother did him a favor.

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.
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.
Huh
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.
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
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.
The beautiful scenery is simply stunning.Backdrop to something at this moment which wasn't so beautiful,though necessary. Momma bird knows what & why she eradicated this little one.Still brutal to see though
The others were like “oh shit we better stfu or we are next”
"but mother I love you!"
"GO... AND GET... A JOB!"
Motherly love at its best. Do they have CPS for birds?
That baby bird had some behavioral problems. You dont see the other babies pecking their siblings over and over like that. The baby bird got corrected by the mom several times before she realised he was a threat, esoecially to poking out the eyes of his siblings, so she made a big decision. She gave him a chance to cool down and stop but he kept being violent instead of chilling. So, off he goes. Wow
A threat, really it was tiny compared to his siblings. Probably not enough food that's why it was doing that. Use your head.
You're making it out like it's a human. Did it need a slapped bottom to behave.
It's the survival of the fittest in the animal kingdom.
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.
You can hear it CRASH at the bottom, holy hell
7:12 I like how the siblings are trying to protect him and then he starts pecking them and they're like "ok, you get what's coming to you". 9:40 the dude that was protecting him is so done with his shit.
He tried to be aggressive to elude his mother IDing him, but he could not hide the fact that he was too small in size comparing to his siblings.
They're not protecting him. They're trying to get to their mothers beak for the food first.
But she isn't attempting to feed. She is gauging and has already selected the smallest for removal.
The others are just getting the way.
They don't protect, they think for themselves not for their siblings
They're not protecting it.

My cat had kittens. 5 of them. I woke up one night and heard a crunching sound. Mother cat had taken one of the kitten under the bed and was eating her. Head. First. Utterly disgusted and I never looked at that cat the same again. No idea if the kitten had died already or if she put the final boot in, but damn.
Metal af
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. 😘
Bottom stork: “stand still, you guys-its vision is based on movement.”
It knows what it is about to happen! Fly Fly Away MY Little One……. Splat 🩸!!! That’s not mommy kisses!!!!!
Nature is wild! I think the mama Stork actually broke the chicks neck before she dropped it off
i think the chick was pretending to be dead in that last moment but the mother grabbed it and down it went
Birds are metal af.
His sibling straight snitches him out
Animals are much better than us humans . We have so much to learn from animals.
People are idiots bro 😂
OMG, so sad! He/she was a tough one, really fought back. Probably would have been a strong survivor in the wild if wasn't singled out since was smaller.
Are you seriously appropriating? It’s a fkin stork. Say “it” if you don’t know.
Note to self: set up a safety net under that stork nest in my yard.
Or let nature take it's place.
Storks don't raise disabled babies like we do

Good idea but now you have to raise it
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.
She seems to have had it in for the little mite from the get-go. Strange as I thought there were less active storks in the nest and the one she discarded seemed like a bit of a fighter.
@@KebabMusicLtd im not sure, she gave him several chances after the first time and he kept pecking the hell out of his siblings. i think she was just being reactive
Nothing in the Wild happens for no reason. That’s the misterious balance of Nature.
... Was I the only one who laughed at the sound of the chick crashing? *LMAO*
Yes you were 😮
No
I couldn’t laugh to that for real
No, idiots appear never alone!
Yes you were
That little one was the nastiest one, pecking his siblings... No wonder Mom is like "off you go!!"
He was pecking his siblings so he could show his mother that he wasn’t the weakest. The mother kills off any weak or sick child to feed her healthy and older children. He was trying to show his mother that he still had potential, yet the mother knew that he was small and weak, so she tried to break his neck, but then he fell.
@@yellowfox2318 So sad, right??
@@yolielin4143 Yeah, it's sad, but that's how nature works
@@yellowfox2318 oh this made me tear up. If only all the babies could survive 😞
@@LisaLovesFugglers It’s just nature. Whether you like it or not, ya gotta deal with it. It’s horrible, I know, but it’s made this way.
There are no social services in the animal kingdom.
It's so kind of the stork to allow some scavengers to eat her weakest baby that probably wouldn't have survived anyways. And a smart way to keep her family line strong. Also, not having a decaying baby in her nest helps keep disease and pests away.
What about humans? As medical practices improve, people who would have died pass on undesirable genes.
@@xxuncexx dark, but true

The old nazis also thought that and performed eugenics.
Since nobody after WW2 wanted to be like a nazi, it was declared unethical and therefore banned.
@@Gaia_Seraphina And with modern day abortions available, weaker genetics can be rooted out safely and legally depending on the state. However, that is currently under attack in the US by republicans. And is why we must take a stand - to ensure that weak and undesirable genes cannot be allowed to pass on.
Little stork: *whining*
Mother: get your @zz outta here
Lol
They will usually kill the runt, especially with that many. Its hard to take care of that big a nest.
Better than my quality control units
She's like she said today's the day if we gonna see if this MF'er can fly or not.
yea, and then she was like 'lol'
Average animalist: only humans are brutal
The animals:
Eh, I'd say this still wasn't brutal simply because a stork isn't operating with moral agency. There are different standards for people.
hearing that loud thud made this long ass vid worth it. thumbs up if you rewound it a few times
i wonder why they always seem to take a long time just to kill it, why didnt it drop it off right off the get go instead of torturing it for so long, maybe it was trying to see if it was actually worth killing so it does some tests first?
Hard to tell. Wven their eyesight is different since they have eyes on sides and not on front. And I bet she has a little bit different depth and color vision, so she may not recognise the bunch apart until she peck it a little and find out the smallest head or something.
The little guy is trying so hard to "not" be noticed by Mom... he can sense treachery is on her mind!
Little homie was a violent trouble maker 🤷♂️. If it survived it would one of those that kills its own progeny and other storks chicks as well
It landed on something hard and immediately died…
The crash at 10:35 WASBRUTAL😞😔😣
THIS STORK IS LIKE JHONN WHICK
"Yo! This vid hits different with Freebird!!"
Damn .. hit someone's roof
Seagulls do the same. I can see them from my kitchen on the neighbors roof. Hate them😡
At 10:23, the chick in the very right of the group looked so scared. It even put its head down when the chick was about to be thrown off. 🥺🥺
OMG! I just watched to the end and heard the loud Bang as junior bounced off a metal roof! Yikes!
Anyone else hear it hit a roof top
Either it had ADHD or she was on crack when she was pregnant with him cause he was wildin out. The other 4 were pretending to be asleep after she threw ole boy overboard 😂
it seems to me, the siblings and expecially momma bullied him a little bit, so its angry and compensate the frustrations. or it try to behave "strong" to not killed, because it knows, what will happen maybe (genecode)
@@nadinekaufmann6368 No. It was starving to death and in agony.
Title should be:
"R*tarded stork thrown out"
The mom knew something was wrong with him.
Clearly momma stork was not having a rabid ass baby stork in her nest. That baby was biting non-stop.
Anyone else think it sounds like satan’s squeaky toys are fighting?
It's nature. Think about it. If you have 5 subscriptions and your salary is SOMEHOW less than what you pay for those subscriptions, you have to cut one. Just like how the mother can't nourish all those chicks so it has to cut one of for the good. Everything happens for a good reason, even if it doesn't feel right.
@@halalboyseif I understand that. I’m not bothered by nature being nature. I was saying that the storklets calls sound like something from the pits of hell + squeaky toys.
@@Oxzilion Oh okay 👌🏼
@@halalboyseif thank you though. Glad you’re not someone who’s like, “my god, storks are EVIL and DISGUSTING! How could they?!” And treat it from human logic. Those kinds of people are ridiculous.
There is no “good” or “bad.” The stork is genetically programmed for this behavior because its ancestors who had the same genetic program were more likely to have offspring who survived and passed on those genes, compared to other storks without those genes. In other words, in terms of genes getting passed on successfully from generation to generation over millions and millions of years, doing it this way (i.e., killing the runt) apparently works better than not doing it this way.
The one which got kicked off actually was smaller and look deformed even. It also had aggressive behaviour towards the other chicks
Sometimes happens to Karen.
Wow, incredible insight. I never would have guessed that from the title. My gosh how do people get so smart these days.
@@theincrediblefella7984 Classic case of fuck around and find out
Honestly kinda satisfying
Brutal, but life for a stork is simple, so is the quality control.
Is this common behavior among stork mothers? Hmmm...just wondering how it chose to get rid of that smallest or maybe youngest among the brood to get rid of.
That sound was such a curve ball
Pretty sure he is frantically pecking the others (and the ground) is not hostility but because he has began starvation and is trying to get some sustenance. All of the others probably get all the food before him so he is always too weak and now at the point of agony.
Mother did him a favor.
