    I worked with Ostriches. Equally brutal. They are always getting rid of the weakest. Pulling out the feathers of the weak one. Ganging up in the weak one. The weak ones die from depression and trauma. They start doing this to each-other as chicks and continue into adulthood. Humans have this ability as well.

      It does hurt. A few bird species live by this form of sibling killing called obligate siblicide, unfortunately. Older siblings do that to guarantee they get the resources to survive, and also parent birds allow that because if the youngest one can’t defend itself, it’s not worth using resources towards it. The parents deem the youngest unfit for survival. But luckily there are bird species that do prevent siblicide.

      _"all the birds do that big ones small ones"_
      Have you seen a pigeon walk? Birds with limited stereoscopic vision often move their heads back and forth in order to get a sense of depth. Raptors, even in flight, move their heads to improve depth perception. Olws takes head hurling to an extreme art. The reason to keep the head still is to get a sharp vision. Birds have very keen sight and and keep their head still when they want to see details. However, in many cases depth perception is more important than precisely determining details.

    Definitely the darker side of the shoebill stork (also known as the whale-headed stork). It lives in the swamps of Africa, and there are only about 3000-5000 left. Approximately 5 feet tall, and weighing up to 15lbs they do fly, but not very far. The shoebill can be aggressive when they are nesting, if you get too close to the nest, or when the chicks compete for food (the stronger wins as seen here). Despite their intimidating eyes they are rather docile calm birds, and do not pose a threat to humans.

      Base parental instincts only go as far as the ability of an animal to provide for its young, and many factors can override it. Humans, while susceptible to these same sorts of conditions, are unique in that atleast we can 99% of the time tell that this is wrong, and even then a parent will only look out for all of their young because they are taught to do so. If humans had no ability to tell right from wrong (something that all other animals lack), then we'd be playing favourites to extremes such as this, and even then many people still do it.
