Blue Jay Snatches Up A Baby Chipping Sparrow From Its Nest

- It happens really quickly so I slowed it down at the end of the video. In a bit of ominous foreshadowing the baby bird that gets snatched up in the end is the one who doesn't get fed in the beginning and gets stepped on by the momma bird while she was feeding the others. I had to Google whether Blue Jays really do this kind of thing or if I just videoed the one psycho Jay in the neighborhood. Turns out, yep, Blue Jays do snatch up baby birds and eat them though that activity may be uncommon according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The Jay picked off all three of the baby birds over the course of two to three days. Talk about empty nest syndrome.

Baby bird: "Momma, is that you?"
Blue Jay: "If that makes you feel better."
Haha
DARk_TRAV YT someone doesn’t have a sense of humor
When u are in the hunger games
Lovely
Blue jays are like the blm and antifa of the bird world.
"I'm hungry!"
"Hey, me too!" *yoink*
Now that’s finger licking good
Ok ngl I laughed
What adds insult to injury was that it's the BIRD who DIDNT GET FED. Savagery.
But it thought it was....
Babies: Food!
Blue Jay: Indeed.
The Shaboodle . n
holy shit someone with a buckets dp
I feel bad for laughing at this
Yes baby bird dead
Then: Sharp Shinned Hawk Snatches Up A Baby Blue Jay From Its Nest
Damn the regular show got pretty graphic
Wait, what the hell happened to Rigby then?...
@@enjoyer2227 maybe Mordecai got food for the both of them
@@enjoyer2227 He's that racoon that eats birds in all the youtube videos.
😁😆 oh yeah.
This happened to us too. We had 3 baby wrens hatch in a nest on top of a downspout just outside a bedroom. In June, we recorded several days of the mother sitting on the eggs, and then they hatched. At about a week old, the babies were terrorized by a jay who destroyed the nest and ate all three hatchlings. The mom escaped into the maple tree next to it.
Wow. That was lightening fast.
I dont know why the mother isn't staying with the babies while father gets food? I've seen other birds do this
Light is faster.
@@rayromano6249 yes but not all the birds I guess.
@@rayromano6249 Sometimes the mother leaves too. Actually all the time this happens. Every bird video ive seen...the moms leaves too to get food. And to use the bathroom.
I had to slow it down to 0.25
I was cutting my lawn yesterday, and noticed a baby bird with its head missing. Though it was wired, maybe it feel out of it's nest and a cat got ahold of it. An hour later, a few feet in front of me I heard a thump, when I looked. There was 2 blue Jay's attacking another baby. The blue jay snatched it out of the nest and dropped the baby bird, them it starting pecking the baby birds head. I scared the blue jays away and went to find something to put the baby bird in to protect it, but within 5 min the baby bird was dead. I didn't know blue Jay's killed other birds.
One of the favorite parts is to eat the brain first. Or in this case only.ua-cam.com/video/W4oEM0W6mhM/v-deo.html

There aren’t a lot of animals that won’t eat a baby bird. Even things we think of as “vegetarian” like cows and deer will gleefully eat a chick if they are given the chance.
YUp I love Jays! Cannibal birds.
I’m sorry but *the head was missing?*
Chipmunks and squirrels too
"You'll never see birds the same way again"
-That Guy from Jurassic Park
Angela Cadle you ruined the joke
The reason we know dinosaurs were mean as hell is because birds are mean as hell!
When the bluejay snatched the bird out all I could think of is scorpion's "GET OVER HERE"
That one didn't even eat yet before it got snatched
Johnny Nunya true
Yerb he got eaten.
I like how the siblings don’t even notice
Robert Angulo woe
What a day it had... it missed the food and then he was hungry and stayed vigilant as soon as he noticed the nest shaking he tried quickly to ask for food so that he gets it first and not miss it again and get even more hungry and that extra movement probably made him more noticeable a target for the blue jay and got him being eaten... bad luck brian :P
*Tree moves*
Babies first instinct: FOOOOOOODDDD YUSSSSSSS!!!
Loved the bonus repeat super slow motion SNATCH at the very end.
Thanks!
Cool! It was neat to see the mom feed her babies, and for some reason the way birds have those twitchy head movements fascinates me every time.
1:47 Damn, I actually got caught off guard there.
It happened so fast
Regular activity for Blue Jays. If you watch them during nesting season you will see them glide from the top of one tree down to the lower branch of another tree. Then they will search for nests by hopping up from one branch to the next in a circular pattern around the tree until they reach the top. Then glide down to the next tree. Very hungry, very thorough.
I saw one destroy a robins nest doing just that. It searches until it finds one
Now that is the true definition of "FAST FOOD" ........ the Blue Jay was like "I think I'll just grab a quick snack and head on out.
Lol that slow motion at the end makes it look like the bird was sucked through another dimension
Hell yea lmao
Otherwise known as "avian fast food"...
DoubleDogDare54 lol
Whats the deal with airplane food?
Baby bird: Food?
Blue Jay: Uno reverse...
the blue Jay is fast like lightning
Been watching these recommended bird eating bird videos a lot lately and I'ma just assume that every bird is a baby bird eater
I had 3 little one like this on my lime tree in my backyard. A few days later i was checking how much they have grew. My heart fell to my feet as i approached and saw the nest hanging on the branch as if it was messed up by something. As I get close look, the nest was torn into pieces and all 3 little ones were killed and body all ripped open as been eaten. I first thought was cat, then i see the nest is high and lime tree which has thorns that cat cannot get too them, so my mom told me it could be a hawk. I was sad for my little birdy as I was thinking to see them grow day by day.
Wow the description just makes this even more sad. I know of opportunistic predation, but the fact that Blue Jay's straight up target nestlings of other birds is another level.
So do squirrels, deer, raccoons, cats, most corvids and many other creatures. They are a good source of calcium, phosphorus, fat and protein. Just about every animal is looking for that in the springtime.
Really great video, I saw and captured video of the same thing, except it was White-throated sparrows. They had 3 nestlings but the jay kept coming back until he had them all. The blue jay had 3 newly fledged fledglings at the time, he fed all three of the nestling sparrows to his youngsters. You had a great view into the nest
Thanks for your comment. It all happened just outside my home office window. I set up my camera inside the house with just a narrow slit view between the open window/shade at the top and a vinyl board at the bottom. I filmed for 20-30 minutes stretches over a few days and just happened to catch the Jay. I almost deleted the file because not much was going on until I re-watched it and noticed that suddenly three nestlings became two.
JustNature you're disgusting
Ellie Smith
Its cuz hillary didnt win isnt it?
lol, nice one
JustNature can I ask what kind of camera you used to film this? I have a Robins nest on my window sill. This mother robin is very aggressive with anything that comes near her nest. Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing.
*Blue Jay steals hatchling from nest*

2:07 Mordecai: Aw Yeah-uh baby chicks!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
This is terrifying.
I HAVE WATCHED JAYS SEARCH BIRDHOUSES LOOKIN INSIDE FOR BABY BIRDS, NOW WHEN BUILDING HOUSES I INENTIONALLY MAKE DEEP RINGS OF SORT AROUND THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOUSE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO REACH INSIDE
Baby: WHAT A BEUTYFULL DAY BIRDS ARE SINGGING ON DAYS LIKE THESE K-
adult bird:yung *gulp*
Like my money disappearing from my bank account. (insert bullet sound here)

Babies- MOMMY MOMMY!!! IM HUNGRYYY!!! -sees bluejay- Ah shi-
Bluejay- Raw -snatches-
Mom give me food!
Who said that? Oh look breakfast :D
Wait no WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
When my sister and I were kids, a life guard found a finch nest at the community pool, but they had to move it in order to open the pool. They ended up giving the nest to us in a shoebox and we raised the birds. One time I was outside with them and a Bluejay tried to carry off the smallest. I scared it and it dropped the finch.
It was alright. Just a drop of blood on the head. (It did die a week or two later though. I don’t know if that was related or not)
whoppe dam do
🙏👑🕊️
is probably died from head trauma or something else
So you denied the bird a meal and wasted the hatchling for nothing.
cant believe 1 of my favorite birds will do something like this
All the corvids have high intelligence more reminiscent of humans than any other bird species. The blue jays in my area are a highly organized mafia that terrorizes all of the smaller and less socially organized birds.
If it makes you feel better, only 1% of blue jays that were examined in a study were found to have bird or egg matter in their stomachs. It's not a very common activity, mostly out of desperation or opportunity.
*resuming to regular show*
(rigby walks to their room)
rigby:what the f dude
mordecai:sorry cheezers doesnt have food so i ate baby chipping sparrow
Rigby:Oh,in that case,I’ll just go and eat some trash from the dumpster like a normal person
Haha! 😂
No meal is free.
Blue jay: says who?
Ugh! I’m watching a bird nest on my window sill now; babies are just about this age. I hope this doesn’t happen. I’ve been doing everything not to disturb this Mother’s nest. Amazing video though!!
Don't ever leave your kids alone!
Witnessed this on Saturday... I couldn't believe, the Blue Jay went into a nest on the front of a house... I thought at first it was nesting there, then it came out with a small chickadee baby in his mouth, and started tearing it apart and eating the insides, I was like wow... nature. :o
@G Sav nature is awesome, sure it gets dark, but thats just part of it
@@kaiju3867 Imagine what they think while watching us?? Like "These humans are brutal"
Didn’t know blue jays were carnivores, but then again I’ve seen seagulls eat pigeons...
Blue jay: Nothing personal kid.
Listen jays do not often do this its the lack of food that makes go to plan B its harsh but survival of the fittest its nature and u can not interfere because u will disrupt the nest even more
Bryony Stott survival of the fittest while some of us humans just stay in a room and watch youtube all day
Bluejays do hunt sparrow regularly. I used to feed bluejays with raw peanuts every morning, winter, spring, summer, falls, and I have bird seeds for the other birds also. One day I heard a rapid chirping sound on the tree and saw bluejay viciously stripping the feathers off the poor sparrow until there was no more chirping sound. I now suspect blue jays probably eat other birds as their main meals. At time I wasn't sure why sparrows and chickadees no longer around my trees as they used to, especially in early dawn and evening. No more peanuts for bluejays; hate them blue crows.
Bryony Stott I have often seen and heard of blue Jays doing this...so I am not sure hiw you figure they do not usually do it...
Logan Youneednotbeconcerned no you will leave nature alone. You cannot interfere with nature
"but once armed I am more poweful than any creature in the current animal kingdom"
If I plonked you naked in the middle of Africa and armed, what do you think is going to happen when your bullets run out.
I think it's kinda hillarious how it is the chick that wasnt fed, who gets taken.
@Ben David it's hillarious cause it keeps getting the short end of the stick, doesn't get any food, and then it gets taken.
Goes from bad to worse.
If you cannot see the ironicaly funny in that, then you must be a Very boring person.
And if you think i'm a psycho for finding it funny, then don't read the other comments, your frail mind won't be able to handle the jokes.
@Ben David Oh please, animals eating eachother is more common than blinking, if you are having a heart attack over this then life is going to hit you hard.
@Ben David Not specifically Kids.
But if you cannot joke about the darkest parts of life, then you're going to go insane from it, humor makes the mind cope with shit like that.
@Ben David Dark shit in the world happens everyday, better to laugh at the dark and gruesome shit than cry about it.
@@ForemostCrab7 it's the circle of life the blue jay probably knew it was the weakest one. It's crazy how everything has a purpose in this cycle of life
Baby Bird: FEED ME!
Blue Jay: * *Plays Reverse Uno Card* *
Baby Bird: OH SHIIiiiiiiiiiiittttt...
I can't get enough of these videos of baby birds being snatched out of the nest for another birds meal. ROFL>>> MORE MORE
jamalski70 Their reactions are kinda funny, then sad, but it’s nothing to write home about. I mean the look on its face when it got snatched, went from tired to “WHAT THE FUCK” in half a second and that game me a giggle but then the shocked siblings had me pretty bummed out, they’re so helpless and cute and I just hate seeing them sad.
jamalski70 yeah baby
jamalski70 your a sick piece of shit for laughing at that
@@AnimeisGarbage Change in faces? I saw only indifference.
TovKafur You’re telling me you can’t tell the difference between a shocked and a calm birds face?
I didn't know blue Jays would eat baby sparrows. I think I will stop leaving peanuts near the nesting bush. I like the little sparrows best.
And if you think about it, Blue Jays do so much for the environment. In the wild without feeders and human activity, their natural food is acorns (the seed of an oak tree). They burry so much of them into the ground to go eat later, but forgot most of them, so the acorns sprout, and another oak tree is made! They have been responsible for the spread of oak trees in America for over a century. Again, blue Jays are not jerks, they're just apart of nature. They always get a bad rap, when they help us out so much.
As an avid bow hunter, I have found they also will warn that a predator is around, sometimes even hovering right over it. I located & shot a coyote that way once. Another time they gave me a heads up and it turned out to be a cougar. Boy was it surprised when I stood up and drew on it. I didn't kill it, just a precaution. When your in full cammo, try not to move when they are looking, and pay attention to wind direction, you can get pretty darn close to wild animals! Blue jays are very intelligent!
You’re thinking about squirrels
// yaboiD090903 \\ fuck blue jays
Blue jays are very aggressive feeders but very intelligent. Just like squirrels they do help reproduce oaks. Birds are one of the smartest animals on the planet with crows and parrots 🦜 being the smartest I myself admire birds bc of their smart thinking
@@amandaspilman2494 That makes me feel much better.
DAMN THAT BLUE JAY DID A MATRIX OF THEM BABY‼️
I love blue jays.
The chick was like "Hey mom is bac........"
Chick didnt even get its last meal lol
That moment when you are looking for food but food is also looking for you
Damn Mordecai has no chill...
I was just hearing a bird's nest that was overactive with the chirping of baby birds, and an adult sparrow had to remain on another tree branch while watching a few other adult blue jays entering the nest until all the babies no longer rmade any sound. I wanted to assume the babies were being fed, hence their silence, but I knew better.
"It was revenge for Greeny bugs and alot of other things. And there was nuting we could do about it, we had to sit still and take it. It was real bird shit"
Greeny bug could not trace his ancestry back to the old country.So no.
This really happened. Several years ago, we had a pair of house finches nesting just outside our bathroom window. This happened for a few years until one day I heard a much louder wing flipping that sounded unusual. So I went and saw a blue jay plucking baby house finches off.
Cool story! What happened after?
And people give neighborhood cats a bad rap for taking out birds
You know, a blue jay once tried to snatch a patch of hair outta my head for getting too close to one of its babies that fell outta the tree
Man this is sad and cool at the same time
I'm happy he ate the one screaming that was expecting food when in fact he was food
Yo these birds are quick af 😂😂
These exact birds used to be right outside near my window in their nest. And I was able to reach them
THAT'S BLEW MY MIND...UNBELIEVABLE
Baby sparrow: daddy feed me!
Blue jay: i aint yo daddy nigga
One second your mom is feeding you. Next second your neighbor is eating you. Savage and heartbreaking. Kinda like being human.
@Ben David China Joe and the Zombie Candidate-Hillary.
Birds are incredibly cannaballistic! How many birds are killed by other birds annually in the US?
2:07 snatched that baby so fast, he distorted time and space
Blue Jay thinking...Ok, the first one that opens it’s mouth dies.
Bluejay: *snatches bird*
background noise: small screetches
Baby bird. Oh boy another feeding
Blue jay. No I eat you
Amazing video friend .Thanks for sharing this.
Baby Sparrow: Yay FOOD!
Blue Jay: No, you are FOOD.
Baby birds are light meals of avian world.
Blue Jays are the closest thing we have today to velociraptors, absolutely vicious little buggers
Sparrows are assholes
+Brent Guglielemencci they r cool
Blue Jays are intelligent..If they see a lot of pest Sparrows, like the Grey Cap Sparrows they attack them..due they raid other birds...and Blue Jays hate predators...Grey Cap Sparrows are predators of small birds...and baby birds too..Go Blue Jays..Great Native Americans..
They are highly intelligent birds.

--they have feathers, and they might not belong to any church, like we do...but that Blue Jay is as humane as you and me..

Hatched , Natched and Eaten . Sounds like a law firm
Blue Jay be all like: professor oak, I choose this 1
We have a bunch of house sparrows that nest in our houses regularly that are mean in their own right. I heard all the males freaking out this morning only to notice that a blue jay was trying to carry off a large chick. Pretty gnarly. Nature is rough and blue jays are something else...
I saw a crow disembowel a robin once. Apparently some innocent-looking birds are more carnivorous than they appear.
Woo! I didn't see that coming!

Brody Larrivee indeed they don't understand nature lol
Wow you’re so quirky and different than everyone else wow
Malanie Neang lol right?
I'm a birdwatcher, I have seen Blue Jays eat baby birds twice and once when I was in Colorado I saw a Steller's Jay eat a baby bird.
Eating baby birds twice? LOL
No more food for the bluejay in the bird feeder 🤣
That might, unfortunately, have the opposite effect you want. The reason Jays go for eggs and nestlings is for easy protein-rich food. But their diet is still mostly vegetarian in nature. Though, if they were relying on food from your bird feeder, and said food is removed. Then they may be inclined to do more opportunistic attacks on the nests of other birds.
Sparrows are a invaisve speices and are harming several native birds like the blue bird.
Mom... remember when I use to say if I was a animal I'd be a bird?...scratch that birds are fuckin cannibals xD
Feed a lot of Peanuts to your local Blue Jays and this wont have to be done by the hungry parents..I have all kinds of nest around my house and the Blue Jays just ask for Peanuts, with that funny way of calling they have..
That explains my neighbors with the family of bluejays and their endless supply of peanuts.
Don't do that, the Blue Jays drive around in a van and use those peanuts to lure baby birds away.
It's so much easier to shoot all the birds in my yard and watch them die a slow painful death. Bee bees are cheaper than Peanuts.
🤣🤣😂😂
@@jefffraley7094 what kinds of Bb's do you use. My pellet gun kills birds instantly
@@jefffraley7094 OMG NO XD
Wow, it got one, rough life, I wonder if it comes back to get more.
I like looking at barn owl nests
Covered in adult blue jay feathers
Birds are merciless
They really are, we have a pergrine falcon that lives in our front yard, the heads and parts of other birds and animals decorate the base. Sometimes we hear the screams. Im guessing he ate the brutal owls that resided their prior.
Circle of life,bet that baby bird wants to circle back
"And then there were two."
Sometimes blue jays, don't even eat them, but drop them. Notorious for picking through other nests.
Pidgeot used Swift Attack
The ones who stay at the top get more food..but at the bottom, less chance of becoming lunch for another bird lol
Before I was ten, there was a birds nest in a tree, I had no idea birds layed eggs in nest, because I was about 6 at the time. I picked up the nest with eggs from the tree in it, and put them in my house...... then the bird got in and layed there and the eggs hatched.................................. YAY
Look out here comes a giant fist!!!
