2 storks left in the nest. Adult throws live chick over the edge!!
http://www.beleefdelente.nl/vogel/ooievaar I was NOT expecting this.
Go to May 22 video. I can see if it were dead already but alive??
Well here's my answer:
Danger is true ...
This afternoon around 12:30 we witnessed a major event at the storks, the mother bird picks up a young and throws it out of the nest.
We have seen this before on stork nests. As a young parent birds (no longer) found viable, then they kill it. The remaining boy have thus more likely to survive: there are fewer birds to feed and protect. Furthermore saved a weak young long (er) suffer.
A stork must be very fit to stand on their own. After fledging should he collect food. He must be able to defend themselves. He needs to make the south. Pull in autumn A journey full of dangers: lack of food, heavy (from downpours to heat), electricity pylons, hunters, etc. Only when he has survived three years he powerful enough to start a family themselves.
Not only powerful, but also decisive. So we will have to assess. Occurrence of the parent bird Nevertheless, it is very to to see for young and old. The clip is a warning: "nasty images", you can choose for yourself whether or not you want to view.
Finally, I can tell you that the young immediately after the occurrence of the soil is achieved. It was already deceased by the fall of 12 meters. The body is examined and the young stork had no food (or other residues) in the crop.
This indicates that the bird had no appetite, probably because of illness and debilitation. The fluffy chicks are still hard to cope with continued wet and cold weather. The managers of the nest, the young stork buried.
