It's always the Dads that make sure the youngest is fed. I think that is why when something happens to the dads the youngest usually dies. I've watched a lot of nest cameras and the Dads are the best for providing to all the babies.

I tend to agree. Dads often pick up the slack to ensure survival of their offspring since moms usually like to do most of the feedings and practice “first come, first served” policy. And since many eagle ladies are quite bossy, it’s especially nice to see the dads stepping up and not shying away from the feeding duties.

Because mom is usually the reason there is severe aggression. People like to ignore how aggression Harriet made her chicks. People deny she was the problem

Does anyone else wish the baby would turn around and just start pecking away at that bully?

The oldest eaglet usually shows this kind of dominance, and parents never intervene in these squabbles. For the parent, it is usually about who gets to the food first, and the youngest just needs to learn his/her clever ways 😇 Since then Thunder has definitely mastered how to get his/her share🤩Now both are thriving and actually being quite friendly💞

Жыл бұрын

I think, siblicide is more common among eagles. And mostly it is caused by lack of food. There was one a bit scary moment in March whith a longer interval between feedings due to bad weather. The older eaglet got the most agressive he/she had been, but all was resolved as soon as the food came 😇 Thankfully, food has been plentiful here. All in all, I would say that the level of sibling agression was nowhere near as high as I have seen in many other bald eagle nests 😅

Well, this is how it usually goes among bald eagle nestlings…One of them, mostly the older one and especially if it’s a female, exerts dominance over the younger ones. It sure looks tough and can be distressing, but there’s one certain good thing coming out of it - the youngest eaglets usually obtain very good survival skills which serve them well in later years 😇 Both Fern and Thunder thrived and fledged ❤️ For example, among raptors like Lesser Spotted Eagles, the oldest almost always will kill it’s younger sibling, it’s just how it is in the wild. Sorry for taking so long to respond, taking a break from my YT channel. Anyway, it’s good that the choice is left with us - we can take a break from livestreams whenever they become too much emotionally 😇
