*DO NOT WATCH IF SENSITIVE* Cooper’s Hawk Eats ALL Baby Birds in Pothos Plant

  • At first, I was pretty livid that finches were trying to build a nest in my pothos plant; it was plucking off leaves to make the perfect space for its nest. Eventually, I accepted the birds’ plans for my beloved plant. Before I knew it, Mama bird laid five eggs. And after a few weeks, we had five hatchlings. It was amazing to see Mama bird and Dadda bird work together to care for their babies. Simply put, I got attached. Anyway, a hawk (cooper’s hawk) found out about the nest and took all five babies. I put together a video. Warning: this may break your heart, like it did to mine.

      @@jaybird1229 Naw. If baby bird survival rates were better there's gonna be a LOT more birds, not just a few. Birds are incredible pest hunters but any upswing in populations risks destabilization of local natural order. Birds also infight, as sometimes mated pairs will attack families of birds in nests and fling or drag the babies out of the nest and take it over. With reduced food in areas due to increased birds there may be more cases of infanticide, swinging the population back down anyways - or increased predation from predator birds would result in more of them, too. Life is precisely where it needs to be, dumb nests and all.
