Mean little devils. I couldn't believe that the little guy was fighting so hard then was too tired to swallow his prize. At first, I thought they were eating the little guy! Good thing i stayed for the rally.
I too thought the larger chicks were attacking their smaller sibling and pulling its guts out! (Sheesh) That said, I'm also somewhat curious as to why the caretakers didn't go ahead and cut up the meat into smaller pieces before serving it to the chicks? Hmm.. I'm also thinking that in the wild, the mother would feed her chicks smaller shreds of meat until they got older? (Shrug)
@@Katnea3 parents bring the food it is not provided, mum did feed appropriate pieces but as chicks of different sizes sometimes little takes bigs bite...thus this and little was ok after
robin2012ism I better go back and watch the rally.. I couldn’t bare to think Cornell Lab would purposely not feed them.. I couldn’t bare to watch the end...
Omg what a shot i too same as most of us thinking they're pulling out the little one's stomach , than I realise they sought of saving his life by pulling the big bite out of his swallowed food
Sure glad I watched to the end! I thought they were eating their sibling. Thought only owls were cannibals. Was very happy to see the little guy flip himself over!! Hope he makes it with his big bully sibling. Phew.
I did too!!!! I was feeling pretty traumatized because I could see he was breathing. Oh I thought was for the love of God die already don't let these peeps eat You Alive! That big guy is a jerk!
I remember repeatedly doing that to my younger brother with my elder sister.... over a bottle of Coca cola. .... until he learned to spit into it in front of us before we were able to grab it. 🤮
I have seen this video 2 months ago & saw it in a whole different way. I too thought they were trying to eat little bro ;-) I think that little one would have died if they would not have helped to eat that gigantic piece of food that was stuck in its throat! However, the chick trying to consume the LARGE bite (looks like a bird) looks like he is the littlest runt, looks like he has been bonked (hair missing) and he is very thin and he cowards down to the larger chick. So I think he definitely needs to eat. I sure would have liked to have seen the end of the video and how this worked out for the littlest baby chick. It does look like the big chick gave up, but we don't know that. Prayers that the little chick got to finish this meal and continued to eat and thrive to full fledge. 🥰❤️🦅🐥🐥🐥🦅❤️🌻 Thank you Joni T
Yes, it was very strange. I too thought they were trying to eat little bro ;-) I think that little one would have died if they would not have helped to eat that gigantic piece of food that was stuck in its throat! I still wish they could have gotten a little bit more out of its mouth, but I guess things worked out for this little baby :-o Wow 😲 🤢 🐣 💗 Ty for sharing joni T
It's sad to see so many people in the comments calling them evil, devil birds and saying they're killing their siblings because at first it appears that way. People are calling them bad names, saying bad things about them, as if kestrels are the worst bird on earth. when in reality they are just getting a big piece that was too big out of its mouth. That also should be in the description. They're not evil. No cannibalism going on.
Mac ((large chick)) : CHARLIE SHARE YOUR EATING EVERYTHING!!! Charlie((small chick)) : NO MINE! ALL MINE *chokes and has difficulty on swallowing* Mac: Idiot! Your choking it em up, give us the food!
I watched this live when it happened and I though Chester (the little guy) was a goner. He took such a big bite I thought he was going to choke. But the sheer hungry greed of the other two helped pull the meal back and shredded it into something more manageable for the little guy. He was going into a food coma before he had it all properly swallowed!
@@vern0018 These are the kestrel cubs. they do not harm each other. The pup is about to choke because it ate a large piece. the other two are trying to eat the food in its mouth. so it doesn't bite the little one's foot. it looks like that from afar.
seems to me that the chick who took the huge bite couldve been chocking to death and its siblings saw the remaining food hanging out of its mouth and tried to eat it, and in doing so managed to pull the food out of the original chicks mouth long enough for it to breathe and regain its composure so it could swallow the big bite. (That was literally my thinking from start to finish. then i read the comments and saw that most people saw it as 2 chicks stealing food from another chick). personally i like to believe the "choking chick saved by siblings" point of view... idc if im right or not lol but the chick who originally took the bite didnt look good at all for most of the video.
Poor guy’ he was always lagging behind his brothers and sisters’ eating last after they were full and just the runt’ of the bunch’ not to many days left?
Animals don’t have feelings. We just think they do. It’s all instinct. A baby bird would join in feasting on itself if it didn’t get weak from being eaten.
Tinker Tailor because they lay 4-6eggs a clutch 3 days in between each egg & start incubation period right as the 3rd egg gets laid.. so if there’s 4 eggs the 1st 3 will hatch 3 days before if there’s a 5th egg 6 days before & everyday they grow & change so much! I have seen owls, hawks, eagles, pretty much every raptor but an osprey eat a tiny or very small sibling before.. sometimes they just get in way on accident or sometimes food is scarce & smallest goes 1st..
How was that sibling not hurt with biggo stepping all over its stomach and head? Then I watched til the end and it seemed it was trying to help...amazing
don't worry, they only used their little brother as a table to eat, they weren't really eating his belly, it was just a piece of meat from another animal :)
Like so many others...I thought they were eating their sibling. They pecked him hard several times...I do believe that the momentum of natures' feeding frenzy kicked in there for a bit and that wee one WOULD have been a goner had it not stopped. You know...bullies that start in on someone then the frenzy kicks in and they just don't stop ....
Are these Kestrels in New York ? I had 2 near me in Chinatown that stopped on my fire escape ladder often , and I saw them even in winter with snow and ice. You are lucky to have a camera in their nest to monitor.
So he was choking and they saved him because his eyes were bigger then his stomach. Nice to have family that lives you. Me my family would watch me choke and die with the food I bought them.
It looks like they disemboweled and eating their chick sibling! Horrific! Oh, ok, a bone is stuck in the crop if the chick and the bigger chick is trying to pull it out to get some of it. Yeah that is disgusting. Bleah 🤢
I really thought they were eating their brother's stomach.
Gross.
Survival of the fittest
They are not eating fellow mate..they are behind a loath...check again
Lol me too!

Sure looks like it
I'm glad I read your comment because I was going to and the video and complain that RUclips is disgusting
they were fighting over a piece of meat they werent eating each other

Did Junior get injured? Look liked big brother's talons were puncturing Jr.'s head!
Like Glen in walking dead!!! When you think walkers are eating him ! Lol
Yup, that's how it was growing up with my bigger brother.
Like I said before these birds stress me out...😰
Ure still watching

Cowers down, it's been repeatedly pecked and driven away. The most aggressive chick(s) get the most food.
Hihihihihihihih am laughing tears of joy because i thought they eating their sibling🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆 ooooh thank God😀😀😀
Ur tittle make the viewer like ohhh no what have u done u naughty Beautiful little chicks

@@kol2han thank you
I've always been amazed at how these chicks never really get into fights with each other. A tug o' war maybe but never mean nasty downright fighting.
This is the worst I've seen Kestral chicks do to another.....it's not very nice at all
Anne Schnur not sure what you mean, they're just fighting over food which is perfectly normal amongst siblings.
Sometimes they do but it's not that serious
How... in the world did that little birds stomach not explode.
seems to me that the chick who took the huge bite couldve been chocking to death and its siblings saw the remaining food hanging out of its mouth and tried to eat it, and in doing so managed to pull the food out of the original chicks mouth long enough for it to breathe and regain its composure so it could swallow the big bite.

THAT was SHOCKING!!!!
ホッとしました❗️仲のいい兄弟で良かった～✨
仲がいいとかじゃなくて、生存競争だけで生きてる感じ。ヒナでも生き残るのに必死！🥵
ですよね〜安心しました♪
It not yours until it’s all in your stomach. Leaving any hanging spaghetti is open invitation for a sibling to try to steal your meal
I very surprised that comets didn't stop them and rescue the little one.
有很多人以為大鳥在吃最小的鳥..
之後又說只是張那隻快死的小鳥口中的食物拉出來，幫助小鳥呼吸..
但我有一個看法，其實兩樣都是沒錯！
最初小鳥動也不動的時候，那些比較大的小鳥餓壞了真的會有當死掉的小鳥是食物的想法，所以最大的兩隻才會不斷試探性攻擊，之後巧合地從小鳥口中拉出食物，其實大鳥以為是小鳥的一部份（食物），才會巧合地讓小鳥得到幫助，幫助小鳥還在口中的食物拉出來，好讓小鳥能夠呼吸。
一開始小鳥被攻擊時身體只有很少的反應..
但之後小鳥身體有了更大的反應和吱吱叫，那兩隻大的小鳥才突然停止，應該是覺得小鳥動了，不再當小鳥是食物，但轉而搶小鳥口中的食物。
we were 6 kids growing up I’ve seen this before at home 🏠
😄😄😄
So ❤ cute baby 🕊️ i ❤️ very 😊😊
At first glance it looked like Junior was being cannibalized!
Takeing the term ***mine*** to a whole new level
Poor guy’ he was always lagging behind his brothers and sisters’ eating last after they were full and just the runt’ of the bunch’ not to many days left?
Animals don’t have feelings. We just think they do. It’s all instinct. A baby bird would join in feasting on itself if it didn’t get weak from being eaten.
If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't believe it.... lol
Why is that chick so much bigger??
Tinker Tailor because they lay 4-6eggs a clutch 3 days in between each egg & start incubation period right as the 3rd egg gets laid.. so if there’s 4 eggs the 1st 3 will hatch 3 days before if there’s a 5th egg 6 days before & everyday they grow & change so much! I have seen owls, hawks, eagles, pretty much every raptor but an osprey eat a tiny or very small sibling before.. sometimes they just get in way on accident or sometimes food is scarce & smallest goes 1st..
OMG, I thought they were eating him...
That one in the back just sleeps through everything
...and mom comes and ask ‘what happened here Scott’? Dunno mom, was high the whole time.😂
No sacrifice themself. becoming stronger robbing food from other
Dang that one is way bigger..They are squabbling crazily lol..
Where's the human helper???
How was that sibling not hurt with biggo stepping all over its stomach and head? Then I watched til the end and it seemed it was trying to help...amazing
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few!
Man that was a horrific scene to start with!
I thought it was being eaten alive
What they eat
don't worry, they only used their little brother as a table to eat, they weren't really eating his belly, it was just a piece of meat from another animal :)
The other bird like wtf
Like so many others...I thought they were eating their sibling.

You know...bullies that start in on someone then the frenzy kicks in and they just don't stop ....
I almost thought it was brothers who cut open the youngest brother and ate his intestines.
They saved his life. Notice eyes and breathing...
Hurry and bring more food mom!
Michele Pohl ,maar
Michele Pohl that's their sibling
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU’VE SEEN IT . WOW 😮
Eaten alive!
Just when you've seen it ALL.
They help him!
But I thought....
Joys off older siblings, I got knocked about by my older brothers but done me no harm except taught me not to take anyone's shite. 👍
birds? cannibals - devils
brother the end...
hahahhaha...:-) I still love it :-) :-) :-)
At first I thought there was cannibalism... junior being a snack for its siblings... nah... clickbait... lol
When they get hungry enough they do attack the weakest one.
It's crazy mother's have not control of the siblings attacking each other guess she's like survival of the fittest
You see the camera over ther? Let play something dramatic.
Another example of the stomach overloading the mouth.
Mom either got killed or abandoned the chicks.
just rested while the others lubed and elongated it. Then went down quite well.
Are these Kestrels in New York ? I had 2 near me in Chinatown that stopped on my fire escape ladder often , and I saw them even in winter with snow and ice.
You are lucky to have a camera in their nest to monitor.
Chick was helping his siblings for get choke out...that why it pic on it to help get the big peace of food out
1.20 The big Kids are bullying the small one
and I found it again :-) 🙂
So he was choking and they saved him because his eyes were bigger then his stomach. Nice to have family that lives you. Me my family would watch me choke and die with the food I bought them.
They were playing doctors?🤔😮
I think the big one has learnt that behaviour from his Mom!
4:20 I like how he chases the other one away because it's just eating instead of helping
At first i thought they were trying to eat their sibling
I watched a lot of videos of on birds and leaves of the most vicious I've seen yet. Turn and eat each other.
The big one is a mean punk.. But I really thought they all were killing the other one in the beginning.. PHEW it wasnt that.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looks like they ate the food and crop fur and all.
Where are the parents? fighting for food an hurting the baby sibling in the process. just awful!
One of the most frustrating videos I have watched.
At first I thought someone attacks the chick, then I thought also that they eating there siblings
Doing the tug a war they started to kiss😂😂😘😘
i legit thought they were eating the little one alive.
q carajos se estan comiendo?
Eating to Survive
Hunger can make u do anything
Dang, he bit off more then he could chew
Eu não deixaria isso acontecer
OMG!
It's like watching "Survival of the Fittest". Awesome but awful.
Savage. This shit wicked
Oh. Nvm. This is love
Great
Big one's a bully!!
Brenda Anne L older ones usually are
We need to report this is someone this is not okay 😣😣😣😣😣😣
It's like a Baby chick exorcism they pecked the demon out of him.... Keep watching 🤢🤮
Nature just doesn't care.
That’s kind of my older siblings did to me, i have survived.
Begining video I think caníbal birds, but now He only think for himself
It looks like they disemboweled and eating their chick sibling! Horrific! Oh, ok, a bone is stuck in the crop if the chick and the bigger chick is trying to pull it out to get some of it. Yeah that is disgusting. Bleah 🤢
Kkkkkkk olhando bem agora que entendi, eles não estão comendo o irmão, certamente havia uma caça em cima dele....
LOL!
ALLAHOUAKBAR EVEN BIRDS ARE MORE HUMAN THAN HUMANS BEING WHAT THIS WORLD IS GOING TO ITS END FOR SURE!
Этот жестокий, жестокий мир😪
A few good pecks to the head might get it to release.
Just such cruel nature! they need for food in the nest.
talk about biting off more than you can chew...... Momma ought not leave such big pieces
Stop it I'm telling mum wait till she gets back!
