Crow
The Canada Geese cob does not want their goslings to be raised on his lake. He chases them out of the water whenever he sees them. The geese can flee readily, but the goslings are unable to do so and are separated from their parents. Isolated, the goslings will not last long and will become easy prey for Seagulls, Herons, and Crows. Because this carrion crow is unable to swim, it is rarely observed near water. It notices the swan and geese getting into a fierce argument and confidently approaches them. Even though they are much larger, the crow is not terrified of either of these birds. It is faster and more agile than they are. It stoops down and snatches a gosling out of the water while the geese are distracted, acting as an opportunist thief.
The geese are startled and honk despondently, but the crow is unconcerned and flies away. The crow plucks the gosling's feathers before devouring it. This crow is roaming around a tiny squirrel, and when the crow touches the squirrel, the little rodent plays dead, rolling on his back, motionless. The crow isn’t convinced and still pecks at the squirrel who jumps up, startled by the pecks. Hopefully, the squirrel makes it. A crow comes down on a tiny rabbit. The rabbit avoids the worst at first, but the crow eventually lands on the fluffy bunny and takes off with it. Another crow has caught a bunny and is biting into the rabbit’s head. The rabbit can’t escape, as the crow tries to kill it. The crow eventually kills the rabbit and eats its meal.
Greater Coucals Hunting Sanke
These two greater coucals find a snake on the side of the road and attack it. Both birds attack the head of the snake, but the snake manages to pull away for a moment before the final blow is delivered by the birds. Greater coucal attacks a cobra in a backyard, and the cobra doesn’t seem interested at all in fighting the aggressive bird. He tries to hide wherever he can, but the bird insists and continues to annoy the snake. This coucal seems to be dancing with a tiny cobra.
Once again, the bird is the instigator and it’s obvious why, after the coucal grabs the cobra and kills it. This greater coucal has hunted some goodies to bring back to the nest to feed its offspring. It looks like it’s a tiny lizard, but it should do for now. The Greater Coucal, also known as the Crow Pheasant, is a non-parasitic member of the Cuculiformes order of birds. It is a common resident in Asia, ranging from India to south China and Indonesia. There are several subspecies, some of which are considered full species. It can be found in a variety of habitats.

Large animals often predate on smaller animals in the wilds, even the same species at times, it's simply part of how the food chain works to balance the numbers of species in nature. It is also why many animals lay several eggs, have a litter of young, because often many of the young will not survive to adulthood. It is the strong and healthy that survive to adulthood, to assure that the species continues and can breed to produce the next generation of its kind.

I live in vegas, and I once saw a local black bird kill a smaller sparrow type bird a few yrs ago. The black bird was significantly larger and wanted to feed its adolescent youngin. The smaller bird had its friends trying to drive the larger bird away, but it was useless. The black bird killed and fed the smaller bird to its youngin. It was actually pretty brutal to watch. And I saw this live, no video.
Why is it harder to watch this one over the others? Lol

Several years ago I heard a commotion in my back yard. Something was screaming a high pitch cry. I went out and found a Western Scrub Jay pinning a Mourning Dove down on the lawn, The Jay had picked all the feathers off of the area between the Dove's wings and also all the feathers off the back of the head and neck. The Jay had opened up the entire back of the Dove's head and was feasting on the bird's brain. Velociraptor!

As a youngster, I was in my friend's back garden watching his pet rabbit eating the grass, when a neighbour's cat jumped into the garden: Lying flat, in stalking mode, it crept up behind the rabbit (rabbit continued eating) and pounced! At that instant, the rabbit flattened its front legs and, with its rear legs, whacked its powerful legs straight into the cat's face! The cat jumped vertically up about 6 feet and shot out of the garden at lightning speed :) Rabbits name - Thumper!
10:45 pretty sure that's a dead rabbit not a dead bird ... looks like it had the long ears...not to mention fur not feathers

15:17 - that's not a jackdaw, that's a hooded crow. Also, the sparrowhawk and the jackdaw segment is two separate videos. I've seen the full video of the jackdaw trying to escape from the grip of the sparrowhawk. The sparrowhawk catches the jackdaw on the ground. The jackdaw only escapes because the sparrowhawk only has one leg to grip it with. Female sparrowhawks, with both talons still intact, are more than capable of killing a jackdaw, and do so regularly. I've seen them kill larger corvids too, like magpies and hooded crows.

His favorite was the #1 pick of a Jackdaw colliding with a hawk in midair causing it to fall to the ground. Yup. That was his favorite one. Also his #1 pick. Well, actually it was the second of four jackdaw videos that made the #1 pick… because it’s obviously the best video of “Birds Brutally HUNTING THEIR PREY.” That’s right. A Jackdaw colliding with a hawk and both of them falling to the ground is the best example of brutal avión predation on earth.

The ruthless precision and coldness of the feathered Dinosaurs takes some beating. Not even an asteroid collision, roughly 65 million years ago, seems to have dampened their zest for a hearty good meal. According to how you interpret the fossils found, I am aware that feathering of Therapsid Saurischians was taking shape during the Jurrassic. But the bird -Dinosaur connection could be debatable I suppose.
