The little baby bird was not culled because he was weak, but simply because he was born later and was naturally smaller, which is why he was abused and killed. If he had not been killed, it is quite possible that he would have grown up to be a stronger and smarter eagle than his older brother.

We had House Wren Birds nesting and breeding in a flowerpot in the wardrobe. This is now the 2nd brood in a year. Luckily the young animals are very safe!
A parent came and saw the attack but did not intervene. I follow several bald eagle nests and only seen one dad that sort of intervene to stop the attack. In majority of nests bonkings or attacks only happen when there’s food.
Why I don’t watch 3 eaglet nests, specially this nest, seems to be particularly brutal, yes it’s nature, but sometimes I’m human, and get emotional. Circle of life can be brutal
@Catania Momma Italia a rare 4 eagles nest is out there and I’m just dreading the outcome. Oldest chick is bigger than the others and every day getting the lion’s share of the food. It won’t end well.
@@southerngal4655 I’ve been watching (more closely) the 1 eaglet nest and it’s just wonderful to see the parents almost doting on their chick. He’s well fed and loved, almost cherished. Not what you see in 2,3 or the 4 eaglet nests.
People forget, birds are dinosaurs with feathers. They are not going to use the same survival strategies that higher order mammals might. And even those mammals can be cruel by (most) human standards. If they aren’t killing off weak siblings, something else would have spied on the little one and tried to eat it, or the other 2 would eat more and the little one would die from being malnourished. Nature is wondrous and magical and at the same time very brutal and cruel.
El mas grande se quiso ensañar con los 2, pero prefirió al más pequeño. Ese pequeño pudo vivir, veo sus movimientos antes del ataque y si tenía posibilidad de desarrollarse, lástima que aquí el tamaño fue un factor importante.
@@choonjalee1200 That's what all pray babies do, kill the smaller ones. The small baby would have done the same if it was bigger. The parents won't do anything because they would have to damage the big chick to save a small chick, that doesn't make any sense. So they do nothing.
I've seen aggressiveness, but this was the worst I ever seen. We had chickens growing up, & I know it nature of the animals, the weakest ones always get picked on. So sad☹️😢Poor baby. Took such a beating.
I’v seen worse! Did you see blood here? I’v seen one chopping the other ones head off! So please, it’s nature, stop being so dramatic and u folks can also stop watching sucha vids if u don Have the nerves. THAT HELPS A LOT! 🤷♂️
The other sibling was just as big as the one that killed the smaller chick so it should be fine. The chick went after the small one because, well, it reduced competition.
@@verabolton Right. Sadly, some people can’t understand that and call these birds of prey “mean” or my favorite, a “bully.” There is no “love loss” between siblings and it’s basically, every Eaglet for themself. The strong survive, the weak will not. That’s a very common known fact of all wildlife.
@@funnysamaira3485 You are what's wrong with society. Get ahold of your emotions you fucKin wuss how dare you say to kill eaglets if there's more then 1 I hope they do that to your kids

Poor little being, you were born, you lived a few days, always tormented by the one who should have protected you... but unfortunately in this nest, as in many other places, an implacable law reigns, the survival. You were born last, you were too weak because you weren't fed enough... now you're done with all your suffering. 😥
Até os passaros e aves 🐦 que são vistos como pureza,temos dó de ver humanos os prdnde- los em gaiolas e viveiros. Agora assistindo essas cenas chocantes. Como poderei velis como fofos?? Meu Deus
There is definitely pure hunger here!! Even the middle chick is "nibbling" on its living sibling out of desperation! 😨🤔 RIP poor little baby, it's finally over now.. fly free.. 🌈😢🐣🦅💚
"Gloria Mokoena" It is sad but it happens in nature all the time. We must not take it out of context. Parent animals will care for the strongest and allow the weakest to die or allow the stronger siblings to overtake the weaker one so that the parent can care for the one most likely to survive. It is not pretty. However if an animal is weak or sick it is for the better that he dies so as not to prolong suffering.
Probably isn't enough food to feed all three of them. This is staggeringly common among animals and birds especially. Sometimes the parents kill the kids sometimes it's the siblings. Sometimes they just stop feeding it. One of the reason they have multiple chicks like this is because it's sort of a redundancy so the odds of at least one of them surviving go up. There's any consolation, the little guy's existence might have helped serve his biological duty which is to make it so the species continues to go on and on and on. No life is really wasted in the animal kingdom. Thing died but the food that would have gone in his mouth might make the difference between survival for the others. And it's not like his sibling has any idea of the morality. Attacking on instinct because it's hungry
It's not stubborn it's just following its instinct too maximize its chances for survival. I understand it's hard not to judge from our perspective but I guess you watch enough of these birds nest over time you just have to start thinking about it differently.
That’s just nature. The parent most likely did the same thing, as the surviving chick (usually 3 chicks in one nest) kills it’s siblings for food and attention from the parent, so the parent wouldn’t care as eagles want only the strongest chicks.
This was sooo sad to watch and I started to watch this nest occasionally to see if the other eaglet would be ok. If you watch the other eaglet is in a submissive stance most of the time because it knows the sibling is being killed. The bigger one then tried to kill the surviving eaglet and wouldn't let it eat...thankfully it survived and had to learn to feed itself. I didn't think the second eaglet was going to survive, but thank God it did and had developed great survival skills! 🙏👍🦅
@@erismana2105 they can't they need permission to go near that nest and since it's nature they won't get that permission only if it's from something done by a humans like Fish line poison from something they ate or a fish hook

@Catania Momma Italia I've watched eagle nest 10 yrs seen the worst of the worst seen babies die from poison,seen them die because black flies suffocated them seen live Ducks and Ducklings and birds brought to nest and eaten alive when the food Source is low watched babies kill their siblings so I've seen it all I'm not in denial if cameras aren't there it happens we just don't see it
@ Jesus. A similar scenario may be happening at the Pittsburgh Hays nest. I have seen the oldest eaglet peck the two younger ones at times and there isn't even any food in the nest. 😔
Most eagles,especially the bigger chic will always abuse and kill the smaller chic in the nest, it is very hard to watch if such a nest is wach by a camera, but it is the hard reality of nature, it is brutal
It's nature the runt usually dies if the older chick didn't kill its sibling. It would've died anyways of starvation because it would've been deprived of any food do to its greedy siblings eating it all up. It's very sad but that's how nature is. R.I.P young eaglet.
Omg that poor poor baby 🥺🥺😣this is where humans should stick their nose since they always sticking their noses in places it shouldn’t be get that baby and take him to a animal rescue where they can feed him and get him strong instead of letting him die like that he was so little my heart can’t take it 🥺🥺
reading these comments. you are assigning human feelings and emotions to Raptors..... Raptors are just one step up from dinosaurs... check it out. These animals survive because the strongest take out the weakest, it is how life is. You cannot expect those eagles to feel anything like a human would, they are not wired that way. You really need to NOT watch nests if you are going to go all misty eyed and think all animals are like how Disney portrays them.
@Lynn Cookson you are sooo right! People need to stop putting comments in the section saying that the big chick is evil, that owls should come and take the big chick, hoping that the big chick will die because it killed it's sibling. just think, when they grow up, they could help add more eagles into the world and be good parents. Everyone should stop making extremely hateful comments towards the bigger eaglet...... Its all about the survival of the strongest, unfortunately these heartbreaking things do happen, but this is just nature. im tired of seeing all those extremely hateful comments! 🤦 some people even want to do animal abuse to the chick just because its doing what its supposed to do.
This so heartbreaking 💔 poor thing you deserved a chance at life. If I remember this happened the first time watched this nest back in 2017 or it was the Stewards of the Mississippi when found the the SWFL nest w/E9 I swore I would never watch this nest again but I do😢
Eu também penso assim é muito cruel, mas certamente há de ter uma explicação para tudo isso....como diz um ditado " Entre os céus e a terra há mistérios que nem a vã filosofia não alcança " 😢😢😢
Well, don’t ever watch storkbills, the parents are the ones who pick who they will feed and give water to, if they sense weakness in one, it’s starved and dies… they I think are the most cold parents in the bird world..
This has always been the way since the beginning. Not just this one mother eagle. Always the way so only the strongest survive and continue strong genes. All eagles had to do this if they had siblings.
Mean sibling... he was upset and blamed on him because mommy didn't have any food. He's going to be a greedy one and he will definitely survive in the wild. Parents still didn't have enough food. Probably killed the other one too.
@@AaaaNinja I've seen the same with kestrel nest boxes. After all the chicks fledged and the nestbox was being sorted through, we found the full corpse of a hatchling in almost perfect condition.
There doesn't appear to be food around the nest, so naturally the eldest needs to eat ... I'm amazed at the difference 3 days makes(2nd egg & 2nd hatch), not too amazed at the third, never was a chance ...
Lol try that attitude in any public space buddy and a group of people will beat your ass. You’re smart enough not to be a fucking asshole, so act like it.
@Luminary Harris Exactly, the truth is that humanity is too successful for it's own good and the more we advance and the more our populations grow the more we self destruct. We live in our own self constructed worlds separated from nature and so natural selection and population control no longer applies to us. We are defying nature quite literally.
Very sad and heartbreaking video to watch all this.Why non of the parents were there to take care of the babies? Usually one parent stays with the babies. RIP sweet soul.
"Cathey Bergman" The "bully" just has a strong sense of survival. The smaller weaker one would eventually die. Nature is filled with these scenarios. The birds who grow to maturity will do things like invade other birds' nests and eat their young.
A nasty bully? Putting human emotions on natural bird instincts is just ridiculous. Would you rather have it'd be like the storks and have the Mama stork throw the weakest, youngest one out of the nest to the ground? Would that suit you?
This is the instinctive nature of ALL birds of prey when there’s a food shortage. The strongest chick will start eliminating its competition for resources (ie food). Luckily, food deliveries picked up some and the 2nd Eaglet was able to survive too! But had it not, more than likely, #1 would’ve killed or blocked #2 from eating and it wouldn’t of survived either. Not every Eagles nest is as fortunate as SWFL nest.
@@Butterfly-mt5ml yes SWFL eagles are good. I've ever only seen 2 eaglets. Harriet is an experienced mom. M15 has been around for a few yrs now too. The PA one that had 4 was so sad when the youngest died. And on another one the younger one got pushed out of the nest and had to be humanely euthanize. I might have to stick to just watching Harriet and m15.!
@@melissakline8738 Good idea. These Birds of Prey nests are not for the weak of heart. They’re extremely sensitive to the sensitivity of their resources and/or the lack thereof and will behave as need be to survive. We are very fortunate to be able to take a peek and have an opportunity to learn about them in their world. Their instinctive behaviors are intriguing but also can be brutal on the human eyes. It is what it is though. There’s survival… or there’s death. Nothing inbetween. Especially when resources are not of abundance.

Such a vicious attack on sweet DH16 She doesn't stop💔💔 Too sad
We had House Wren Birds nesting and breeding in a flowerpot in the wardrobe. This is now the 2nd brood in a year. Luckily the young animals are very safe!
The lil one is 3 day hatched after biggest one but the size is huge different .
A parent came and saw the attack but did not intervene. I follow several bald eagle nests and only seen one dad that sort of intervene to stop the attack. In majority of nests bonkings or attacks only happen when there’s food.
Why are they attacking each other if they are well feed?
The parent won’t intervene. What’s it gonna do? Smack her Eaglets tail feather with her wing? Y’all are ridiculous! 🤣
predator has instinct to kill
Why I don’t watch 3 eaglet nests, specially this nest, seems to be particularly brutal, yes it’s nature, but sometimes I’m human, and get emotional. Circle of life can be brutal
@Catania Momma Italia agree, this nest has always been extremely brutal
@@mari1apo2 yes I agree! Even the second eaglet is cowering. As another chatter said in the comments the parents are incompetent!
@Catania Momma Italia a rare 4 eagles nest is out there and I’m just dreading the outcome. Oldest chick is bigger than the others and every day getting the lion’s share of the food. It won’t end well.
@@kristenevans4557 the Hayes nest in Pennsylvania is experiencing this same thing with 3 eaglets to this year.
@@southerngal4655 I’ve been watching (more closely) the 1 eaglet nest and it’s just wonderful to see the parents almost doting on their chick. He’s well fed and loved, almost cherished. Not what you see in 2,3 or the 4 eaglet nests.
What a sad slow and painful death it endured
That eaglet definitely has screw loose.
Birds are such dead beat parents its astonishing that they are not extinct.
This is the way of nature. Nothing we can do about it. The smaller ones were competition for food.
People forget, birds are dinosaurs with feathers. They are not going to use the same survival strategies that higher order mammals might. And even those mammals can be cruel by (most) human standards. If they aren’t killing off weak siblings, something else would have spied on the little one and tried to eat it, or the other 2 would eat more and the little one would die from being malnourished. Nature is wondrous and magical and at the same time very brutal and cruel.
A nice reminder of how things are
Mother nature can be cruel but she knows what she's doing.
lol...nature is chaos. there is no order or sentience. Just chaos.
So sad but, it is nature and is called, 'Survival of the fittest. R.I.P little one.
El mas grande se quiso ensañar con los 2, pero prefirió al más pequeño. Ese pequeño pudo vivir, veo sus movimientos antes del ataque y si tenía posibilidad de desarrollarse, lástima que aquí el tamaño fue un factor importante.
Es que el más fuerte debe sobrevivir, aquí no hay maldad ni nada parecido
Too bad big baby try to kill smaller baby why Mona bird not stopping ? It’s unfair and cruel to watching
@@choonjalee1200 That's what all pray babies do, kill the smaller ones. The small baby would have done the same if it was bigger. The parents won't do anything because they would have to damage the big chick to save a small chick, that doesn't make any sense. So they do nothing.
I'm so sorry little baby. My heart is broken. I wish I could have saved your life. I'm sorry!

@@amazinglovingbeautiful6830 Who are you talking to? 🤣
I don’t imagine the other brother lasted much longer, as well.
The other sibling was just as big as the one that killed the smaller chick so it should be fine. The chick went after the small one because, well, it reduced competition.

Nature is not cruel, she is smart. animals are part of the food chain, the strong eat the weak, and humans are not part of this chain.
There is a WARNING on the video. PAY ATTENTION TO THE WARNING.

So sad a mother can't stop her stubborn child💔
That mother or father probably did the same to its siblings when it hatched
"Gloria Mokoena" It is sad but it happens in nature all the time. We must not take it out of context. Parent animals will care for the strongest and allow the weakest to die or allow the stronger siblings to overtake the weaker one so that the parent can care for the one most likely to survive. It is not pretty. However if an animal is weak or sick it is for the better that he dies so as not to prolong suffering.
Probably isn't enough food to feed all three of them. This is staggeringly common among animals and birds especially. Sometimes the parents kill the kids sometimes it's the siblings. Sometimes they just stop feeding it.
One of the reason they have multiple chicks like this is because it's sort of a redundancy so the odds of at least one of them surviving go up.
There's any consolation, the little guy's existence might have helped serve his biological duty which is to make it so the species continues to go on and on and on.
No life is really wasted in the animal kingdom. Thing died but the food that would have gone in his mouth might make the difference between survival for the others.
And it's not like his sibling has any idea of the morality. Attacking on instinct because it's hungry
It's not stubborn it's just following its instinct too maximize its chances for survival. I understand it's hard not to judge from our perspective but I guess you watch enough of these birds nest over time you just have to start thinking about it differently.
Interesting how the parent watched the attack and did absolutely nothing to stop it
They won’t intervene. Survival of the fittest. That’s a very true statement in wildlife.
That’s just nature. The parent most likely did the same thing, as the surviving chick (usually 3 chicks in one nest) kills it’s siblings for food and attention from the parent, so the parent wouldn’t care as eagles want only the strongest chicks.
This was sooo sad to watch and I started to watch this nest occasionally to see if the other eaglet would be ok. If you watch the other eaglet is in a submissive stance most of the time because it knows the sibling is being killed. The bigger one then tried to kill the surviving eaglet and wouldn't let it eat...thankfully it survived and had to learn to feed itself. I didn't think the second eaglet was going to survive, but thank God it did and had developed great survival skills! 🙏👍🦅
Bird does not know his sibling is being killed.

Not every eaglet attacks smaller siblings beyond meal times. This one is different. It might have been inherited from one of it's parents.
@ Jesus. A similar scenario may be happening at the Pittsburgh Hays nest. I have seen the oldest eaglet peck the two younger ones at times and there isn't even any food in the nest. 😔
@@southerngal4655
🍓 It must be very hard to watch the attacks in real life .
Hahahaha....yeah rigth....
Most eagles,especially the bigger chic will always abuse and kill the smaller chic in the nest, it is very hard to watch if such a nest is wach by a camera, but it is the hard reality of nature, it is brutal
It’s unusual, they usually just take all the food and one might starve
It's nature the runt usually dies if the older chick didn't kill its sibling. It would've died anyways of starvation because it would've been deprived of any food do to its greedy siblings eating it all up.
It's very sad but that's how nature is.

beautiful baby bird and the nest
reading these comments. you are assigning human feelings and emotions to Raptors..... Raptors are just one step up from dinosaurs... check it out. These animals survive because the strongest take out the weakest, it is how life is. You cannot expect those eagles to feel anything like a human would, they are not wired that way. You really need to NOT watch nests if you are going to go all misty eyed and think all animals are like how Disney portrays them.
Exactly.
@Lynn Cookson you are sooo right! People need to stop putting comments in the section saying that the big chick is evil, that owls should come and take the big chick, hoping that the big chick will die because it killed it's sibling. just think, when they grow up, they could help add more eagles into the world and be good parents. Everyone should stop making extremely hateful comments towards the bigger eaglet...... Its all about the survival of the strongest, unfortunately these heartbreaking things do happen, but this is just nature. im tired of seeing all those extremely hateful comments! 🤦 some people even want to do animal abuse to the chick just because its doing what its supposed to do.
This so heartbreaking 💔 poor thing you deserved a chance at life. If I remember this happened the first time watched this nest back in 2017 or it was the Stewards of the Mississippi when found the the SWFL nest w/E9 I swore I would never watch this nest again but I do😢
Não sei se eu posso aceitar essa tal de lei da natureza. Para mim é cruel demais.
Eu também penso assim é muito cruel, mas certamente há de ter uma explicação para tudo isso....como diz um ditado " Entre os céus e a terra há mistérios que nem a vã filosofia não alcança " 😢😢😢
Well, don’t ever watch storkbills, the parents are the ones who pick who they will feed and give water to, if they sense weakness in one, it’s starved and dies… they I think are the most cold parents in the bird world..
Mom of the year just looks the other way!
Ghetto eagle
This has always been the way since the beginning. Not just this one mother eagle. Always the way so only the strongest survive and continue strong genes. All eagles had to do this if they had siblings.
Mean sibling... he was upset and blamed on him because mommy didn't have any food. He's going to be a greedy one and he will definitely survive in the wild. Parents still didn't have enough food. Probably killed the other one too.
They buried him within the nest and continued to walk all over him 😔 so sad
But he becomes part of the nest and will always be visited by a mom and dad. The others get kicked out when they're old enough, of course.
@@AaaaNinja I've seen the same with kestrel nest boxes. After all the chicks fledged and the nestbox was being sorted through, we found the full corpse of a hatchling in almost perfect condition.
And that is why i dont get why people compare animals to humans where they say we dont deserve them.
🥺🥺🥺🥺😟😟😟😟😰😰😰😢душа разрывается,как жалко!!!!!
There doesn't appear to be food around the nest, so naturally the eldest needs to eat ... I'm amazed at the difference 3 days makes(2nd egg & 2nd hatch), not too amazed at the third, never was a chance ...
Like the parents automatically stop bringing enough food
Like they are waiting for larger chicks to get hungry enough to kill and eat small chick
No such thing as fairness, equality, or safe spaces in this world. Don’t ever forget the world you actually live in

It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Honestly, it’s the only thing we can control.
@Luminary Harris Exactly, the truth is that humanity is too successful for it's own good and the more we advance and the more our populations grow the more we self destruct. We live in our own self constructed worlds separated from nature and so natural selection and population control no longer applies to us. We are defying nature quite literally.
Very sad and heartbreaking video to watch all this.Why non of the parents were there to take care of the babies? Usually one parent stays with the babies. RIP sweet soul.

"Cathey Bergman" The "bully" just has a strong sense of survival. The smaller weaker one would eventually die. Nature is filled with these scenarios. The birds who grow to maturity will do things like invade other birds' nests and eat their young.
Oh, I've seen many a nasty bully like this one, eagles and osprey
A nasty bully? Putting human emotions on natural bird instincts is just ridiculous. Would you rather have it'd be like the storks and have the Mama stork throw the weakest, youngest one out of the nest to the ground? Would that suit you?
I've never seen where one killed another. I usually only watch the swfl eagles and Harriet and m always bring in ample food. This is so sad!
This is the instinctive nature of ALL birds of prey when there’s a food shortage. The strongest chick will start eliminating its competition for resources (ie food). Luckily, food deliveries picked up some and the 2nd Eaglet was able to survive too! But had it not, more than likely, #1 would’ve killed or blocked #2 from eating and it wouldn’t of survived either. Not every Eagles nest is as fortunate as SWFL nest.
@@Butterfly-mt5ml yes SWFL eagles are good. I've ever only seen 2 eaglets. Harriet is an experienced mom. M15 has been around for a few yrs now too. The PA one that had 4 was so sad when the youngest died. And on another one the younger one got pushed out of the nest and had to be humanely euthanize. I might have to stick to just watching Harriet and m15.!
@@melissakline8738 Good idea. These Birds of Prey nests are not for the weak of heart. They’re extremely sensitive to the sensitivity of their resources and/or the lack thereof and will behave as need be to survive. We are very fortunate to be able to take a peek and have an opportunity to learn about them in their world. Their instinctive behaviors are intriguing but also can be brutal on the human eyes. It is what it is though. There’s survival… or there’s death. Nothing inbetween. Especially when resources are not of abundance.
