In nature paired mates often produce far more offspring than they can afford to care for (safety in numbers) but often with birds they will kill and even est the weakest of the litter to give the stronger one a better chance at survival. The papa bird likely realized something was wrong with the runt of that brood and decided to take action. Thankfully we humans aren't so merciless. (Least not all of us)

Infanticide, unpleasant at it may seem, often serves a very specific purpose in nature: conservation of limited resources by the killing and devouring of offspring that have practically no chance of growing to adulthood. This survival tactic decreases the stress on the parent(s) in providing food for a runt and recycles the nutrients of the unfortunate baby back into the ecosystem. And it also provides a quick snack for both exhausted parent and hungry younglings, as this video clearly demonstrates!

Hi, liznm! ❤️ Nice to see you this ... birding season! I know that this is an important video to post - and I do honestly thank you for that - but I hate that particular behavior. Detest it. **** Please note that this comment is on the behavior ... not the channel’s owner. Much love always to liznm!!! 😘🥰😍 **** +++++ I’ve heard most of the arguments and explanations that are typically provided for this behavior. I understand that it is considered to be somewhat “normal” - or even quite typical - for some species; and that it falls under a “natural” behavior. ... Some will say ... 1) it’s “Mother Nature,” which always seems to be employed as a default phrase - if rather vague - for things we don’t like or approve of. ... Or perhaps ... 2) it’s simply “visual evidence of survival of the fittest,” which (if you ask me) just sounds like justification for an absolutely horrid behavioral trait that we, as humans, just can’t get our brains to comprehend. ... Or even maybe even ... 3) it’s a stork’s version of “hey, let’s get rid of the youngest/smallest to ensure an abundant supply of food, fish, frogs, snakes ... whatever ... for the remaining chick/s! And hey! Let’s try to eat this chick and get his siblings to help!!” Well, it might be “nature’s way, typical, common, survival, accepted, natural, or normal,” but, frankly, it just horrifies me whenever I see this behavior. And storks, in particular, seem to be the founding members of that particularly abhorrent societal behavior. Year after year, It always gets me upset (yes, I know, no one makes me watch ... and I really don’t ... I just very quickly scroll through it). But you know, after having seen this behavior over the years, I always end up with the same questions ... couldn’t you (the stork parents) just make that cruel decision a tad bit earlier in the chick’s life? Like maybe when you laid the third egg!? Or even maybe when it was even newly hatched?!?! Why keep it around and feed it, watch it grow, care for it and keep it safe ... so that some day in a few weeks you can just TORTURE the chick for over half an hour before it ultimately dies?!? Geez, it’s not even a quick death ... and it’s positively gruesome. And the chick typically seems robust and healthy! It’s just frightful!! Storks. They are beautiful. They are funny when they are being funny. But when they are just being ... storks ... they can be shockingly cruel and downright mean. Just think: storks have always been that beloved symbol of delivering babies to humans ... FOR REAL?!?!? I mean WTF?!?

@@bbbrewin BTW: As information. The parents would not recognize if a chick is weak or sick. They don't monitor how much a chick eats. When a chick dies, it becomes part of the nest or is eaten. This is information from an ornithologist who has been studying these storks and has been observing them for many years. Among other things with trail cameras. I saw it myself on a camera. A chick has starved to death. It was getting weaker and weaker. The parents didn't notice and didn't throw it out of the nest. It was eaten.

There's a perfectly valid if unpleasant reason for this. Other animals just leave the 2nd/3rd offspring to die slowly.
