glad the one in the middle finally got some food but then it turned back around and I was like, "whyyyy" eat eat eat, don't let the others bully you little one

Little one in the back is so cute trying to get a bite from his/hers brothers/sisters!!

Brothers.

For everyone saying the runt didn’t get enough, at the end of the video it actually looks like he got some very big chunks of meat (14:47 for example!). Doesn’t seem to be any need to worry about the little guy. He got his fair share in the end. 😊✌️

Please correct me if I am wrong, but in most of the peregrine nests that I've watched, it seems that as long as there is enough food coming in, all babies get fed. Some days one eats more than the others, but it seems to even out. I don't think there is much sibling rivalry in a peregrine nest, if any. I adore these birds and hope they all live a long life flying high, eating enough and breeding successfully.

That is correct. Falcons are usually very good about providing food to all of their chicks equitably. There isn't that much sibling competition, especially compared with some other raptor species.

Soooo cute! It’s so interesting that one eyas has such yellow feet so early in development! And good so we can tell them apart! Thank you for his adorable clip :)

This reminds me of my siblings and I at the dinner table as kids BEFORE dad got home! As soon as he hit the door, silence reigned supreme!

My the youngest trying really hard to get something.

I was getting worried about the smaller chick in the back. And then he pushed his way forward and still wasn’t getting fed. Finally chick on the left gave way and let him in. Perseverance pays off. So strong 💪 little one ☺️. So hard to feed so many but mom and dad are doing an awesome job! Look at those crops😱!! Full chickies 😁

Sad. Even when it makes it to the front it doesnt try very hard to eat. It's definitely a male, and if it doesn't start trying to get more food it doesn't look good for it in the long run. It might end up being food for the 2 females who are very aggressive eaters.

@calfalcons

That is very unlikely. Sibicide/infanticide is extremely rare in Peregrine Falcons and the youngest chick is still growing and developing very well. At this point we have no reason to believe that all three chicks won’t fledge exactly on schedule.

@@maharaj2323 I see your point--really I do. Are you an ethical vegan? Humans have a moral obligation to other sentient beings to be vegan. These falcons cannot live eating vegan. We should not be cheering on any predatory "kill" or video taping it for entertainment purposes or videotaping it period. But they need to eat. So I don't want anyone to die--no one. "Michael Vick liked sitting around a pit watching animals fight. The rest of us like (cheering on so to speak) sitting around a barbecue pit roasting the corpses of animals who have been treated as badly, if not worse, than Vick’s dogs." "Some animals do, indeed, eat other animals. That’s certainly true. But what relevance does that have to the issue of whether we should consume animal products? That’s a rhetorical question; the answer is clear: it has no relevance. First, although some animals eat each other in the wild, many do not. Many animals are vegans. Moreover, there is far more cooperation in nature than what we imagine as the “cruelty of nature.” "Eat Like You Care" by Gary L. Francione--there is a pdf file online & if you are interested in finding it rather than buying the book, you will search & find it. I can't leave a link on KZread--sometimes.

You never have to worry about any of the chicks going without food. Falcons feed all their babies. She usually feeds the larger ones first.

I can't eat the innermost child…　 I saw it for the first time. Thank you for the delivery.

Is it possible that the little one is a male, not necessarily the youngest?

@calfalcons

It's definitely 2 days younger, but looking at the size of the chicks right now, we've kind of been speculating there might be 2 females and 1 male.

They end up eating a lot of feathers, don't they? That doesn't seem very appealing

Looks like sweet & sour pork/pigeon!!!!😆

Unfair distribution of food 😢

Waited 10 mins and all the middle one gets is a beak full of feathers 🪶☹️

I saw the middle one eating a few rocks today. Is that normal at such young age?

Yep! That is evidence that their digestive tract is reaching maturity and capable of processing more complete meals. The stones effectively act as teeth in a birds digestive system and help break down larger pieces of food.

My heart ached for the wee one and its need of food too. Perhaps Mama is trying to teach it to be bold and stand up and fight for itself or it won't last in life. i was happier to see it did finally get something other than feathers for its meal.

Peregrine Falcons are very good about equitable food distribution. Starvation of chicks in nests is very uncommon in this species and the Bay Area is pretty productive hunting grounds for falcons. So far all the chicks are growing and developing really well, so we're not worried about anyone being malnourished or underfed.

She is not feeding small one..he came in front was ignored
