White Rock Eagles ~ Baby Crow Dies In Nest! RIP Brave Little One! 💔💔 5.16.20

- The brave little crowlet that captured all our hearts by surviving in an eagle nest has passed away this morning. The crowlet was begging for food as Mom eagle was feeding her eaglet at 8:57 AM. When she finished, we see the crow parents dive-bombing the nest. The crowlet is on eagle Mom's foot and gets caught as she gets up - sending it tumbling backwards toward the eaglet. The crowlet got back up and was standing next to the eaglet when Mom starts to aerate the nest and the eaglet lays on the baby crow. An hour later, Mom gets up and we see that the crowlet had passed away underneath the eaglet from suffocation.
The eagle Mom could not feed the crow even if she wanted to. A baby crowlet and a baby eaglet are very different, eaglets grab food from their from their parents, while a crowlet's parents shove the food directly down their throat. Thus the eagle Mom did not understand what the open mouth meant from the crowlet. The eagle parents did nurture the crowlet while it was in the nest.
It was an amazing experience to see this crowlet survive in an eagle nest with the eagle parents nurturing it. I am saddened by the loss of this brave little baby crow as I am sure everyone is! RIP little one! 💔💔

I can't watch these nests anymore. These circle of life moments just destroy me. RIP little fighter
if you can't watch then it's best for you not to - life on bird nests isn't always pretty - they all have to eat
Tracy Lee, I totally agree. I was thinking about baby crow all day and now my heart is broken. Poor baby and parents.
Me and you both .....
I had high hopes for the last couple of days, but the story ended tragically for the little crow.
So I guess we can scratch your name off the list of being the next Sir David Attenborough.
Watching the crowlet opening its mouth to be fed was so sad.😥 Mom and dad crow so helpless too. Now I see why crows pester eagles.
Yes with their excellent memory and ability to hold a grudge I see a lot of harassment for this eagle family for a long time to come.
Its a long chain, all smaller birds harass crows for the same thing. Remember a vid where a crow picked off 3 baby Robbins one by one. Left those parents with nothing.
@@dadscavaliers642 yep..I am indifferent to this. But I love them eagles
Why?!? Eagles do not feed other chicks except their own.
@@johnnyboyjohns2930 she parent did. Two different bird with different feeding style. Crows shoves food down their babies mouth and throat. Eagles holds the food in their beak and their babies grabs from their beak. The eagle offer the food the crow but it just only open it’s mouth. Eagles aren’t designed to shove food into the crow mouth cause of their beak.
As it is it was, I did learn something. The way Eagles feed their babies and crows feed theirs it’s totally different. The crow baby opens its mouth wide and the parents stuff food down the throat. Eagles take the food out of the parents beak. It’s interesting how different species have different instinctual body language to communicate.
RIP little crow.
😰😭
That's y they have different types of beaks...
Baby crows, like most nestlings, gape. Eaglets and many other young birds of prey don't.
But, is it me or the mother eagle ignored the crow even though it opened its mouth
🙂
I have been sad about this crow for over a day. I knew he wouldn’t make it. He was such a brave wee one. RIP baby crow. So I went out to cut grass and I saw two baby crows on my bird feeder. 🥰. It made me feel better.
K W Thanks. Your post helped the lump in my throat. I’m not watching or reading any more on this, past LH’s intro and your comment.
With what is....and isn’t....happening in the US and so many countries right now, I’m wrung out.
I assume you’re safe--stay safe.
Fusion72 said in loving satire, I hope?
Fusion72 Whew! Thx.
What were the babies doing there? Crows do not eat birdseed.
Most likely some other species as crows don't eat bird seed, and other birds are prey. You'll never see other birds feeAding or socializing with crows.
That is so amazing how the crow parents were trying so hard to get to their baby while the eagle was trying to protect hers from the crow. Parental instinct is such an amazing thing.
Yes..that was awesome
She was feeding her son while denies food to the other who is about to become food.Im so traumatized
Paternity leave is also an amazing thing 🙄
@@incgohd lol, quite a tangent but hilarious nonetheless.
I find it hard to watch the crowlet begging for food and the eagle is so confused by the “quiet” pleas for food. I’m sorry it didn’t survive. But, it will be one less crow annoying the eagles
Studies have shown crows are able to hold memory and remember creatures. They won't forget this...
Lol...eagles not a bit worried
@@samwright285 true Sam Wright
but the crows and raven are calculated
they may even watch and wait til
the parent Eagles arent there
and possibly take the Eagles Eggs
They remember faces I watched an experiment in here where crows acted a different way when they didn’t recognize someone
I had a family of crows that lived in my oak tree for several years I knew them they knew me I put an old man mask on and they went nuts
So the eagles be warned next year payback
of course not because the baby is dead :3
@@BobbNaef even worse they pass that learned knowledge to their kids so if you treated them like crap, they’ll always remember it and treat you like crap
I can't watch the video, but thank you for bringing an update to us, although it's not what we had
prayed for. -Hugs
RIP little crow. You were definitely very brave. Soar High.
This baby crow was able to bring people together in a caring way from all over. Maybe that is its legacy, a symbol of hope in such trying times for us humans. It was an innocent victim perhaps never knowing the grave danger it was in. The eagles caring for it after it was intended as prey was incredible to observe. I think this little guy touched a lot of hearts. RIP ❤️
Yes that is a wonderful comment and thought! Thank you for the inspiration and hope that his life was not in vain. I like to believe that the crowlet did touch us and bring us together a ray of hope during these difficult times. Thank you barnowlwatcher!
what? bring people together? huh? made me mad it wasnt rescued!!!
Lauren You just made my point - when a situation like this occurs where an item of prey is brought into the nest and is still alive and not killed, it gets a lot of attention as people watch to see how the situation will unfold. There are documented cases where the predator species seems to adopt the prey species but it is still very rare. These cams are allowing us to view these incidents and yes, they have a world wide audience which is why I made my comment. Probably everybody was rooting for this little crow. The crow didn’t actually stand a chance though as it just has a very different way of eating than birds of prey.
To your point of rescuing, that is *our* human nature to want to save the crow. But there are consequences to intervening in an active eagle nest...for starters it is illegal and you wouldn’t want to jeopardize the eaglet in any way unless absolutely necessary (like removing a fishing line tangled around an eaglet’s foot as happened in the SWFE cam) for example. Remember this is their world, not ours, so we are just observing their life because a camera happens to be there. I swear it never gets easier when watching some drama unfold, and so many of us debated the issue of letting birds be rescued when they were starving to death, but I finally understand this is nature and it has its own way of balancing its populations. If you think about it, why should the eaglet not get its food so the crow can live? Who gets to make that kind of decision? You just go around and around, lol. And even though I know that, I still sometimes chase the hawk that tries to get my songbirds at my feeders! I yell “go hunt someplace else” as if I have the right to deny him his dinner.
There is an amazing story I would love to share if you don’t already know about it. Here on RUclips look up SassePhoto. Look for his video titled Hawk raised by Eagles - The complete story. He documented this incredible event which happened in 2017 in B.C. Then, earlier this week we had another situation in Latvia in a White tailed eagle nest - he has a short video on that but it didn’t end well. There is one more story that happened last year, here in California, with another bald eagle nest accepting a red tailed hawk that was brought in as prey, but I’m not sure he made a video. Take care 😊
@@barnowlwatcher if u cannot or will not rescue the baby bird then shut off the camera. whatever
Lauren Why would you want to have the camera shut off so we can’t continue to watch the eaglet grow and hopefully fledge? As far as I can tell unless you are vegetarian (human or animal), you are eating other living things to survive. Do you have a problem with lions eating baby zebras? Should we shut off that camera? Let the lion cub die to save the zebra? Everything that depends on some other living thing is simply surviving, as they have evolved to do. Only us humans have a choice. Are you vegan? Do you have a leather belt? Shoes? Perhaps you are forgetting that the crows raid nests ALL THE TIME. Is that okay with you? This is just nature and if this really bothers you then you should watch cams that don’t involve something eating something else.
Poor baby crow. I feel so sad that it wasn't fed for two days and then suffocated to death. RIP lil one.
It sad I kind of feel that the eaglet was imitating what the parents do by sitting on it to keep it warm. Not meaning to suffocate it.
@@qp3105 same
@@qp3105 No. Siblings rivalry are pretty normal to the chicks of predatory bird.
Wish they would've torn it apart
😂 karma got it.
I can’t bring myself to watch this. Very sad. Been thinking and praying for the crowlet overnight. RIP little baby! Thank you, lady hawk, for the update. 😢
Then why did you click it?
It's amazing to see that side of the Eagles. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you
Thanks Lady Hawk for informing us. To bad they didn't go ahead and feed it also! I was hoping for a miracle. It was such a brave little crow!!!
Lady Hawk looks like Mom was looking for the crows, and wondering how to tell them. So very sad and unusual situation. Rest In Peace Crow and may you fly high.
Thanks Lady Hawk for bringing the outcome of this most unusual situation. Of course I won’t watch, sometimes I hide my head in the sand but this baby was in my mind all thru the weekend and I knew deep in my heart that he could not survive. Even though he was not killed I have to say he was sooo small he got lost in the nest. So RIP little baby !! 🌹
Little Crow you were a real trooper and sweet 💕💕 Sorry for you that it went this way 😔. Watching this live, it appeared to me that the actual end was accidental. Something happened when she got up and when they were napping. Just too weak for the circumstances but gosh you hung in. You were an Eagle 🦅🦅 and in an Eagle family for a little while! 🌷🌼RIP little one.
I watched Dr Sasse yesterday and did not try to find the nest thinking that this would be the outcome since the Parent eagle was not feeding the crowlet. And here I am crying that the crowlet died even though I tried not become attached it. It is and was a sad situation for the crowlet. TY for covering it so I didn't have to watch. Thanks to Dr Sasse mentioning your name over and over yesterday, I knew right where to go for an update! You are the best! 💗
Hi R Jax I was very sad to see this outcome even though I prepared myself for it. It is a privilege to witness all of these events even though we did not see a positive outcome. Dr Sasse is such a wonderful man and his coverage and passion for the raptors shines through in everything he does! I am really honored he mentions me!! I hope you are doing well and staying safe!! Take care!!
Lady Hawk, You and Dr Sasse make a great team. I've heard him thank you and give you credit many times. Your videos help him keep us informed about what we are seeing. I think you both have truly generous spirits. If I wasn't on a fixed income I would send donations. Please know how much you are appreciated!!
@@firstlight7419 What a very kind and sweet thing to say! Thank you so much First Light!! I do this just because I have a great passion for the raptors!! I am really happy that the videos bring all of us together in some small way.
The Crows' parents won't forget this. They will learn from their mistakes. This eagle nest better keep close to their eggs next season.
Crows DEFINITELY remember, they are INTELLIGENT birds.
I've had red tail hawks where I live three seasons in a row making babies. This year the crows came, and on several occasions I watched them attacking the hawks mid flight chasing them away. No more red tail hawks this here, actually kind of sad about it. But I like crows too. And they definitely hit above their weight class with their brains and tenacity.
@@julierogers1155Yes they are Intelliegent
It was an amazing experience.... Nobody help the Crows,
nobody climb up the tree, everybody drink beer, eat popcorn and look TV !!
why doesn't the eagle feed the crow baby as well ?
RIP sweet little baby crow ❤️❤️ poor thing :( nature can be so cruel. makes watching these nests very hard at times.
So sad...sweet, precious baby crow. What a learning experience!! Thank you, Lady Hawk for the updates and experience as we are left with a heavy heart
Ahhh man... sad so sad 😥 Sorry baby crow
It is sad but it is also sad when the ravens attack the eagles' nests and take the eggs, it is nature each one struggles to survive, for us humans we feel sorry for this baby
As sad as the ending was Lady Hawk you capture the truth for us it was completely accidental we did all view something so rare and amazing am grateful to be witness Mom Eagle looks for baby crow when she got up to find it with no more life TYLH
Now its going to be war the crows will never forget 😣😣😣😣😣😣
They were already at war with each other.
@@Jimmy82102000 yes but now the crows are not going to be nice ...poor baby crow it suffered im crying
This was very interesting. There is on RUclips videos of another eagle pair in B.C. that actually raised a red tailed hawk to fledge. You can google it. It was bigger though.
also is fed in same way as eagle chicks and similar beaks so better chance of sustaining parental instinct @Sarah Littlefield
@Jennifer i think they wanted to feed him but didnt know how.
Heartbreaking, even knowing the odds of the baby crow surviving were astronomically against it, it hurts. Tragic. Crows being extraordinarily intelligent among very smart avians, this nest will be forever challenged by the crow parents who suffered so much. This is a no-win from any perspective.
The crow parents couldn't rescue their baby, birds don't carry babies like dogs and cats😖.
R.I.P., tiny one, may your essence forever soar🙏😰♥️♥️💕☮️🕊️
Thanks, Ladyhawk
Melinda, I feel the baby crow had a good chance to live if the mother eagle would have just fed him. They said that he was just 4 days from fledging & if he had been fed, he might have flown away tomorrow or Monday. I follow Lady Hawk on 3 of her eagle nests, Big Bear, NEFL & SWFL.
I'd like to think if this mother eagle (who I just saw for the 1st time yesterday) could have been Harriet or Gabriella, they would have been observant enough to see the little baby with his mouth wide open, asking for food. But I know nothing about this nest or any of the parent's behavior patterns. Gabby & Harriet (& Jackie from Big Bear) are great mothers & might have kept this baby crow alive long enough for it to fly away with it's parents.
I also follow Lady Hawk's Royal Cam Albatross channel in New Zealand with the baby Pippa & her parents OGK and YRK. In that nest the parents must regurgitate the squid straight into Pippa's mouth. As you well know, baby eagles are being fed fresh fish within the first 24 hours of life. I'm not 100% sure how baby crows are fed. As babies, do they eat like eagles (whole food) or like the baby albatross, Pippa with regurgitated food from the parents?
If they only eat regurgitated food, then you are right, the baby crow had almost zero chance of living. But if he could have eaten what the eaglet was eating, then all it took was this mother eagle to see that he was also very hungry & share with him. I am very saddened by his slow death & prayed for a better outcome. Thank you for your input, a fellow bird (actually all living creatures) lover in San Diego.
Fly high in heaven sweet angel!
RIP baby crow 💔💔makes me cry
Me too. I was rooting for the little guy. So sad. RIP little guy💔
This is stunning! Amazing! Mom knew the little crow was missing and started looking for him. She went right under the eaglet and found him. How did she know? Could it be that she has a keen sense of smell and could smell that the little crow had died already? This is so human like. They say birds can't count but it sure as hell looks like she could tell someone was missing. Poor little crow. Fly high little buddy, fly high!
She was very agitated looking for it, but wow I thought it had buried it like she would have done with her own, but it was a horrible ending. I can’t get over it...😥😱😔
B C Momma Eagle afterwards buried the crowlet as if it was her own baby.....
@@beatricecallan did you see the part where she dragged it out and ate and fed it to Quebec? I won’t get that memory out of my head for a while.... 😢
Most birds have a poor sense of smell, and it may have been the crow's father, as male and female are identical.
@@beatricecallan Birds do not bury their dead, ever see a crow or eagle with a shovel? They usually eat them.
Not trying to sound heartless, but we all knew that the baby crow was not going to survive too much longer. The suffocating was better than being eaten alive. ❤️❤️❤️
Diane Reynolds , I agree. Poor little thing. 😢😢💔
.....and it was accidental, they didn’t suffocate the baby crow intentionally......
Yes...I agree, too. Sweet little crowlet.
@@beatricecallan They actually intentionally did that...
Birds are true savages like their ancestors , the dinosaurs .
Really sad 😢
Nature is full of surprises some fun some sad. That is why I’m intrigued by watching these nests
The baby crow was innocent
Awe poor little baby 😢 what a bizarre twist of fate! Look at that beautiful mommy protecting them ♥️ yes lady hawk I too am very saddened. Do you think the baby would have survived otherwise? It was not getting any nutrients for what 2 days? Ty lady hawk ♥️🦅😘😔
Im very upset with the eagle very poor baby crow rip little one 😠😠😠😠😭😭😭😭😭
Nature and instinct. When out hunting outside the nest, the crows were prey. In the nest, maternal instincts took over. Confusing for the eagles. It's just how it works.
How did this crow baby get in a eagles nest in the first place? I am feeding a crow baby right now. He just passed away too. RIP little one. He wasn't eating.
Доброе время🕒 суток!
Как этот птенец оказался в гнезде Орлов?
Brave little one, rest in peace and fly high!
Nature is cruel sometimes.
People can be cruelest on earth . Without them this planet earth will always be beautiful and clean
Always cruel
The fact this little rat having the audacity to demand food from the eagle is just gold :D
Considering how plentiful crows are, that they steal eggs from Eagle's nests, I shouldn't be upset. But I do wish this had turned out differently
Yes we all hoped that this would be a miracle again like the RTH in the eagle nest Spunky who fledged successfully.
I'm bias..I love eagles and not fond of crows.
@@samwright285 It was more the fact that it was a BABY, and starved and suffocated to death. Died a slow death. Brought to the nest AS FOOD originally, would have been more humane to just eat it right away.
@@recoveringsoul755 you are right..Point taken.
@@samwright285 I'm not really a big fan of eagles, they're boring and eat other little creatures...including birds...
Crows are much better and cute, they can even be loyal pets!
我覺得被活活吃掉的幼鷹們,牠們更勇敢,牠們承受著多大的痛苦!
What I found amazing is that the eagle noticed the crowlet was gone and went searching for it. How it knew to look under the eaglet was astounding.
Oh, this is so sad 😢 Situations like this don't usually turn out good. The little crowlet already had pin feathers on its wings. 😔 At one of the nests that I have been watching - ND LEEF - the youngest of three eaglets passed away 2 days ago 😢 Not enough food for him and repeated beatings from the middle eaglet. Things like this just break my heart 💔 I so wish that you could make a memorial video for him - ND12.
We live in a fallen world, where there is so much pain and sorrow...
I still can’t quite articulate adequately what I’m learning about suffering, and willful evil, and looming death, but this situation was a tragedy of errors...
all I can do for my grief over this death is to give it to God in prayer....
Job chose to bless the Lord in the face of unimaginable tragedies and persecutions, and my heart chooses to also bless the Lord, saying, as did Job, “Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.”
Jesus promises to comfort those who mourn, and to heal the broken-hearted...we as witnesses to this tragedy, can be confident knowing that that beloved baby crow is with God now...
God is love, and in the hereafter, there is no more pain or sorrow or suffering...
So sad to see ...😞
This was just HORRIBLE!!
That is sad News - yes it is part of Nature (the Crow baby was originally brought in as food - Eagles do eat baby birds).. but I must saying I was hoping the best for it.
One of the parent eagles went in a crows nest and took a baby out of the nest to bring it in their nest?
@@Jimmy82102000 yes
I love crows, regardless of the fact that they seem to kill for no reason... it appears this eagle is sending out a message. I mean, to literally taunt with food... wow
Am I the the only watching video happily? After losing several goslings/chicken due to thief crow, really happy to see they also lose their own babies.
RIP. Baby crow 😫 from Australia 🇦🇺
Nature is cruel I’m so sorry for this baby…. Crows are known to be very brilliant and have great memory.
I’m not going to watch the video tonight but I was expecting this outcome. It is still sad.💔 So much effort & care by Crow parents only to slowly die.🥺 Earlier today I was thinking about why they chose not to kill & eat the baby crow. Did this nest lose an Eaglet this year? Maybe it was just the parenting instinct. RIP Little Crow. Fly free, fly high & far forever! 🖤 (And thank you @ Lady Hawk
for continuing to keep us updated.)
R.IP little crow
So sad it did not survive. 😥 It would have been very special and beautiful if it had survived 💔
Hi, Lady Hawk!
Another of your older videos that popped up as a suggestion by RUclips.
In light of the current story of Malala and Junior, this interaction is extremely interesting.
The crow apparently died accidently, but, there are a lot of similarities of behavior from the mom and eaglet to what we just saw, with Junior and Malala.
But, the story here couldn't advance because the crow didn't know to grab the food, although mom did hold it out for taking... even moving the food closer for feeding in a direction that would have favored the crow, had it been a raptor chick.
I think your statements about Malala's forwardness, the hook on the beak, coloring, with white head almost looking like a miniature bald eagle, etc., were very instrumental in her/his survival. Spot on, as usual!! 👍🥰
With the crow dying here, there was no story, but, this eaglet wasn't phased, one way or the other. It did, let the crow seek shelter under it, which was a surprise.
But, not the reaction that we saw from Junior. He seemed enamored and mesmerized by Malala. Then, his feeding her/him, was astounding, etc.
I am more and more convinced that their story was a "relationship" of a sort, that was meant to be. Both being drawn together ❤️ for purposes unknown. Siblings? Friendship? Romance? (Lol)
I hope a reader will be curious about what I am saying and view your videos on the Gabriola Island BC, nest.
This link below is to your beautiful tribute video to Junior.
For readers... the eaglet and the hawklet (who was brought to the nest alive and as food) became best friends, instead. The eaglet tragically died from an accidental electrocution from an unprotected electrical wire.

TYLH! 😻
Your contribution to the study and appreciation of wildlife, is so invaluable! You are a one in a million, special and kind, person and videographer!
God Bless You! ❤
Hi CC - that is great you are going through some of these older videos!! Yes this was a different story and outcome - one we did not think would end well due to the mechanics of how an eagle feeds its young and how a crow feeds its young. There was no bonding or relationship with the eaglet and crowlet baby like Malala and Junior. Mom eagle did try to offer food to the crowlet but she did not know how to put the food down the throat the crowlet which is how its own Mother feeds it. The eagles offer food to their young and they grab it from Mom- so all the crowlet knew to do was open its mouth wide and cry out.
Junior and Malala did have a special relationship and bond - one we may never get the chance to witness again! Thank you for sharing the tribute video for those that have not seen it. Take care my friend & God bless! ♥
@@ladyhawk
No problem, Lady Hawk. I feel honored and blessed to have seen such an amazing thing happen.
The other day, a video was suggested by YT, and it was for the Gabriola nest.
I saw Dr. Sasse's pinned comment, and left one thanking him, etc.
I had no idea the video was posted by Pam. I just thought that it was someone from Dr. Sasse's affiliations, because of the pinning, etc.
Pam did respond to my comment about posting a link to your tribute video.
She said she had others on the way, but, that she has been super busy. I guess they get a lot more cars hitting animals during these months, etc.
I put the suggestion in there as there were so many questions. I thought that neither she, nor Dr Sasse, would want to be grouped together with those who post videos of horrendous behavior, in birds, which we know is natural to their species. Those people don't give explanations, etc. Just exploitation.
But, it solicits hatred for the birds in their videos. Intended or unintended. It just irks me! So, now knowing who I was speaking with, I responded.
In that comment I also suggested that at the very least, if she had the time, to post her heartfelt statement that she gave after Junior's death, which you so kindly put into your video, with the title beginning "Heartbreaking News" 💔
I asked if there were any sightings of Malala or the parents, and mentioned how so many people were asking and still grieving.
I posted that second comment, yesterday, and have not heard back from her, as of yet.
I will post a comment, if I do hear anything, here, or, with the next old video I view.
Be well, and be blessed! 😻
RIP brave little crow
Peace to your brave soul young Crowlet . You did not have the chance of your sibling which flew away in the heavens very quickly. The lack of food and who knows, the cold of the night have finally put an end to your long agony and your suffering. Now you have found your loved ones, siblings and ancestors.
Two days after my dear ND12, your disappearance after this short presence on the screen has rekindled my pain and my tears. Rest in peace Crowlet.
What a sad ending to an amazing story.
So very sad and unfortunate.
Mom did her best to do what she could. She even buried it.
Thanks Lady Hawk - very clear video. - Stephanie
Trajedy, poor baby crow back to heaven you go.
eaglet after eating crowd ,"see mom i told you would be eating crow
I could see the crow sensing the hospitality was wearing thin.
Yes. RIP Lil crow.
RIP little baby 😢
I keep seeing the Mom eagle pull the baby crow out under of the Eaglet.. Like shes helping s/he out, but does not realize it is dead.. I really thought for a second that the mom was going to give the infant crow to the eaglet.. Which did not happen.
Really touching how these Eagles are.. Beautiful creatures for sure.
I knew it I am so sad why did I come back now crying 😢
WoW Is very beautiful. Thank you
May I ask how on earth that baby crow gets to the eagle nest? Anyway, did the eagle mom feed the baby crow to the eaglet? I hope she did as or else that would be a meaningless death. The true cycle of lives indeed for all those who died and those who survived. Thank you for the video indeed.
There is no empathy in this world, nature definitely has none. Humans think they have, but we really dont. We can learn a lot from this video . So very sad. Be blessed
Awww, so sad....
What fascinates me is how the eaglet never attacked or really even threatened the crow, usually they can be brutal to their smaller, weaker nestmates. What's more is that it mimics its mother's behavior and actually tries to protect and warm the crow by nestling on top of it just like mom does to her baby.
Sorry little baby! Much love to your little soul!💕 I can't watch the video though.
While visiting at my uncle's house in California I noticed a crow drop walnuts on the driveway to crack them and land and eat them. So the next one I ran out and got the walnut and ate it. I'm sure he was not happy. But I yelled "thank you!" lol😁
RIP beautiful soul ❤❤
Breaks my heart.😢😢
In the description you wrote that it was an amazing experience to see the eagle parents nurturing the crowlet. I saw no nurturing whatsoever.
The fact that she didn’t kill it within 5 minutes says a lot.
So sad😭
Most regrettable but necessary. The natural world has it's own rules and rhythms...
What next, eagles, crows, storks, it never ends. So heartbreaking.
The mother Eagle will think that the Eaglet is a hero!
But... rip that Crowlet
Aww poor little guy. Crows are very smart. There was a small chance it could have sorted out the feeding signal differences and started getting fed.
I can't watch the video, but will someone please tell me, does Mom feed the crow? Is this another situation like Malala? If so maybe the crow was just too young. Rest in peace precious Crow 💔 😪💐
Hello Michelle no the eagle Mom could not feed the crow even if she wanted to. A baby crowlet and a baby eaglet are very different, eaglets grab food from their from their parents, while a crowlet's parents shove the food directly down their throat. Thus the eagle Mom did not understand what the open mouth meant from the crowlet. The crow did not get killed by the eagles, it was standing next to the eaglet when Mom starts to aerate the nest and the eaglet laid on the baby crow. An hour later, Mom gets up and we see that the crowlet had passed away underneath the eaglet from suffocation. The eagle parents did nurture the crowlet while it was in the nest. RIP little one! 💔💔
Mom was disappointed as was the eaglet, Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
I’m surprised he made it that long without being ate.
I am not young. My introduction to this kind of stuff, was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. So that may give you an idea.
Anyway, shows like that, and even Discovery Channel later, really didn't give the real story of what life in the wild is like. They did show some of the brutality, but they always made it seem like an attack happened, and death came quickly, such as a big cat catching something, choking it, and then eating it. Other than that, they tried to portray an animal's life as somewhat of a fairy tale...living free and wild. For ratings, I suppose.
What the internet has taught me is that life in the wild is far far different than what was portrayed. Most animals, as I've learned, are eaten alive, and it isn't over quickly. For instance, when something like Wild Kingdom, showed wild dogs, they would show the hunt, the chase, and the capture, but then would cut to after the animal had died, and the dogs were still feeding. Same with things such as hawks, eagles, etc... They would show the catch, but then skip to the bird feeding on the dead snake/animal/bird. They didn't show the fight for life, nor the victim being eaten alive. And they tended to not show babies being eaten...especially in a brutal manner. They would show a larger animal's baby being taken down by a lion, maybe, but it would be over quickly.
I've learned that life is a brutal path for wild animals. This lead to an interesting debate I had, and won. I made the statement that wild animals prefer to live under the care of humans. A Netizen took it upon himself to inform me that I was crazy. I couple of posts went by, and so I finally had to show him the error of his ways. There is plenty of evidence out there, if you care too look. There is a connection between animals, and humans. But, of course, we have given them plenty of reason to not trust us. This will make a feral animal wary of us, but time, patience, and kindness can win over nearly any animal. Some species being more quick to overcome their fear. This is not to say that some can't still be unpredictable, and dangerous.
But look at the reality. Why wouldn't an animal eventually learnt hat life with a human that cares for it, is tantamount to winning the lottery? Look at the life of a feral animal.
1. They tend to be skittish for a reason. They understand they could be hurt, killed and maybe eaten alive.
2. They don't always have clean water to drink. Think animals don't care about that? I've already tested that, and yes they certainly do know the difference between clean and dirty water. They just don't usually have a choice.
3. They don't know if they will eat that day, or be eaten.
4. They make due the best they can, but their living conditions are not always the best. Certainly not as good as a kind, loving human can provide.
5. The tend to be covered in parasites. While they get somewhat used to this, they certainly don't like it. Would you?
6. In the wild, their sleep tends to not be very deep. Any sound could wake them, and send their heart racing. It could be a warning of danger.
7. Their babies are often eaten. Sometimes right in front of them.
8. They often live solitary lives, without love and affection. You can find many reasons for that, but given the choice, is that what they really want?
9. They tend to live shorter lives than those under the care of humans.
More often than not, I think they do this because it's what is safest for them. A male cougar, for instance, tends to live solitary lives. Yet watch the channel, I_AM_Puma, and tell me that Cougar would prefer to live alone. He met his current owner as an adult. He was in a zoo. There is a video on the channel, I believe, that lets you know how this came to be. Not sure if the zoo closed down, or what. It was in Russia. Some Russian guy and his wife adopted him. This Cougar acts more like a big house kitty, than a wild Cougar. There are a couple of videos of him being taken to a vet in Russia. I watched this in amazement. The cougar, whose name is Messi, obviously was not enjoying the experience, and yet he was far more calm than most house cats and dogs. He was constantly growling with a displeased look on his face, but never got aggressive with anyone. He only hissed at one person, the main vet, likely because this guy likely gave him shots in the past. And yet, even though he hissed, he did nothing as the vet put his hands on him, and started poking and prodding. The vet told the owner that he was an very well socialized animal. I can tell you from watching, that he very much loves the man who owns him.
As I said, I do believe there is a connection between animals and humans...because I have seen way too many instances of wild animals approaching humans for help, when they need it, and then recognizing the human who helped them, later. I won't share with you why I think this connection exists, but I do think it does. You are free to disagree, and I will respect your opinion, but not agree, obviously.
Anyway, the person who conceded I was right then said, "OK, so what are we supposed to do about it?" I told him that I never claimed we had to do something about it, or that we could. We obviously can't care for every last wild animal. At least not in the manner I was suggesting. I was simply stating that an animal that finds itself in the care of a GOOD human, who cares for it, and loves it...won the lottery.
This is so sad 😞 my question is how did this lil crow end up in the nest? I’ve just started to watch the videos?
So sad...Mom tried to save it and look bewildered
Lose of a baby crow is no big deal. one less Crow to take your chickens and other small birds or animals.
I’m glad you posted I’ve been away today. It was difficult watching it be hungry! Interesting though , needless to say why the eagles didn’t kill it right away. I guess if it were a hawk and ate ....
Poor baby x
😪 I was so hopeful. 😪 Forgive me, but does anyone know how the baby crow got there in the first place?
The mom Eagle stole it from a crows nest to feed it to her Eaglet a couple days ago
I've seen a video before. The golden eagle caught a baby eagle, but it didn't eat it, and it was raised. I never understood why they caught the bird. Is it for grain reserves? 😮
So sorry little one
Why they did not feed the baby crow to the eaglet, not even after passed away? What was the purpose of bringing him to the nest?
she hesitated to eat the crowlet as though it was her chik.
Awww sorry to hear it died.
I do enjoy an happy ending ❤
