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.
"Insanely brutal" is a MASSIVE overstatement. More like "birds catch their prey." That's it.
"A rat is eating what looks like a dead bird" THATS A FREAKING RABBIT!!!!
it was written by an AI and he just reads this crap youtube channels like this are extremely common, especially when it comes to something like the Megalodon
@@uietwyatt4841 😅😂
“Despite their small size,…” Are you kidding?!?! The harpy eagle is one of the largest, most powerful raptors in the world. It’s talons are the same size as the Grizzly Bear’s claws!
I know. this narrator has no clue!!
I was about to say they’re dog sized birds
Mantap...👍
The harpy eagle literally hunts large monkeys and if provided I dint doubt for one bit that it would attempt to attack a human!! The harpy is one amazing bird and was specially designed to kill and only kill
This narration is embarrassing
The harpy eagle’s small size? Dude, it’s one of the largest in the world! 🦅
Right. Who ever writes this guy's scripts needs to be fired.
"Despites it's small size." Made my day. :-) :-)
This narration is idiotic.
A 3 & a half foot 20 pound bird is small huh?.. what a dunce .. 😂
Agreed, I've watched numerous videos of this guy and there are so many typos and completely incorrect facts...
If this is what these little avian dinosaurs can do, imagine what the non avian dinosaurs were able to do!
"What looks like a dead bird" Bunny ears and fur in clear sight...
I didn't know that Crows actually hunted live prey..wow they are aggressive.
Crows literally eat anything if they can't something easy to eat they will hunt for there food.
I saw one carry off a baby bunny and then stab it to death with its bill 😱☹️
Yeah crows Kill small animals like call baby dukes baby birds = 7 baby squirrels and mice
They have a bit of a hard time killing things with their beaks, but if they can catch it, they'll try.
Heck I didn't know about Blue Jays and wood peckers
Esses pássaros são umas feras...
Not surprising, considering Birds are the closest living relative of Dinosaurs, birds are predators…
👍
Dinosaurs never existed
Birds ARE dinosaurs 😉
True.. but not all dinosaurs were predators.
Exactly
Animals hunt for their hungry but human hunt for fun.
Man, I freggin LOVE it when the voice-over is literally telling me what the video is showing me.
don't forget Ravens, the most intelligent of all birds.
ppl also quite forgett that chickens will kill and eat anythign smalelr then themself including even venomouse snakes
Many more birds are omnivores than we realize nor do they all settle for worms. Their ancestry is from having been dinosaurs, so watching their hunting skills is watching their instinctual behaviour.
That dinosaur to bird theory is weak.
@@williamchiafos3889 Actually, it's a strong theory, currently we can count on dozens of fossils, genetic and skeletal analysis, so there are no more doubts nowadays.
@@pierfrancescotancredi8353 do you know how long the theory of gravity has been accepted, yet recent science is challenging it. Or how about the theories of flat or globe earth ? Most theories eventually are replaced with new theories that refute the old ones. Science is always challenging itself and correcting itself. I am fully aware that this theory, which was first promoted by Arthur C Clarke, is generally accepted but it does have its faults. What have bats evolved into in the last 50 million years ? I'll wait..
@@williamchiafos3889 Birds didnt just evolved from dinosaurs..... they can still be considered as dinosaurs. If you study the biology & classifications of species, you will realized that scientists still group them. There is a reason why some birds have scales, since birds and reptiles are related. Dinosaur family consists of avian, non-avian, birds & reptiles. Remember that raptors are feathered & has beaks, so they can be considered as birds. Ostriches, Cassowaries & Emus still have the same dinosaur features as raptors & therapods...
@@williamchiafos3889 By your logic, Horseshoe Crabs, which have lived for 300 million years, should have done something by now......actually read about what you're talking about before you comment. You learn this shit in middle school 🤦🏼♀️
The crow is really aggressive
Y❤️
My fav was definitely the woodpecker tackling the blue jay
Thank you for adding chapters! A nice feature.
I never knew birds were so vicious and attacked other birds.
Civilized people attack and kill other people, so why not birds? Albeit humans do not do it for food, for now.
Big cats like leopards eat other small cats like civets too. Animals classification is a human construct.
@@leow5632 True, I don't know why people idealize animals and the nature as a whole this much nowadays. Just to add to your comment: some even commit cannibalism without caring much, like male lions eating their own cubs.
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.
Humans viciously attack other humans too
People always think straight to lions and tigers when asked about the most efficient hunters in the animal kingdom. . . But birds are truly the predators of all predators
You’re lucky lions and tigers don’t have wings.
@@christianhopkins7751 you're darn tootin right I am
@@mikeoxmall3431 What if horses had the heads of crocodiles?
@@ekinteko we would be pretty fuckin sol
I am truly grateful that birds aren't the size of tigers and polar bears.
Why is it harder to watch this one over the others? Lol
Thank god I was about to cry if it didn’t release my young sister “Stingray” , don’t be surprised because my family name is “Stingray” 😂
Went from brutal kills to random videos
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
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.
has become a law of nature😌,,, greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
2:04 Let’s appreciate that coucals also hunt sanke.
There was a COBRA in the back garden??? I’d move house.
Mantap....👍
Wow, I just learned something watching this video. I never knew birds ate other birds.
Yeah I saw a sparrow hawk catch and eat a wood pigeon in my garden the other week. Brutal but its nature . The wood pigeon was bigger than the sparrowhawk too
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!
I'm no expert on types of birds but a rather large bird I think it was a smaller hawk caught a bluejay in my backyard. It picked it's feathers and ate it all. Not a scrap was left except some feathers.
Have you been living in a cave underground?
many species of birds kill other birds, both chicks and adults.
Makes you wonder if we need to reevaluate the term "bird of prey"
Really enjoyed this video so so interesting 👍 can't wait till nxt manythanks xx
Imagine what dinosaurs were like?
They can be brutal but not cruel
This was really fascinating to watch. Seagulls have no fear even for humans. Same with the Pelican, that thing would try to eat your head if it got the chance.
It's nature. I can watch with an objective perspective. Just for educational purposes. I don't enjoy it but it's definitely a fascinating sight. Never disrupt it.
We're also nature. If we disrupt it, it's nature.
@@MohammedMuhiUddin not really tho
@@nickdouglas736 literally yes. We are not separate from nature.
Mama bird: MY BABYS
Until a dog is attached, and then everyone says, "why did you just watch?"
Alot of people forget birds belong to the Theropod group dinosaurs, they're the remnants of the likes of t Rex and raptors
Well it's true, brutality isn't just applied on Big and Strong predator. Even a tiny predator is still a predator to its prey. It's relative terms, really. Can you imagine what your adorable pet cat could do to a canary? Yeah, it happened to mine. 😏
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!
Birds are badass!!
It’s not pronounced Tuck-sun Arizona, it’s pronounced Too-sahn, Tucson.
Thanks for helping me pronounce. No, really, I have so much trouble with which is rightfully pronunciation.😄
@@emiranda2491i xx you hi get go y GT yy6
And it's a gila"he-lah" woodpecker
This awkward feeling when somebody says "I eat like a bird"
Who the hells says that
Some eat like great blue herons
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
coucal was badass taking on a king cobra , seen them in Thailand never knew they where so aggressive
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.
great, thanks for upload !
I truly appreciate these videos and the videographers cause you take me to places and sightings...you educate me...you transport me totally into the event.

Lol nobody agrees with u his narration is so annoying
Damn, the dinosaur instincts are still strong.
😩 “ Nature is cruel and indifferent. Unfortunately, more people are becoming the same way. ”
Crows are fkn brutal. Smartest bird, no contest.
do we really need the narration? "...the crow plucks the baby before devouring it..." Really? I never would have guessed.
Who ever is filming and not interfering are disgusting
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.
Wah mantap....👍❤️
This is stunning! you did a good job! Best regards and Have a nice weekend !
4:48 WOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
Yes birds are unpredictable tucans WOW 😲
i was not knowing that the birds are so dangerous too😂😂
Love it watching from Peterborough peterboroughshire
Thanks 💐
I used to think birds were innocent but... nature you scary. 👁👄👁
It's not cruel, we humanize the actions of animals, but it's just their nature, it has nothing to do with cruelty and everything to do with survival. If you could go back in time to our early ancestors you'd see some "cruel" moments, to survive.
thats untrue, theres plenty of pointless cruelty in animal kingdom. humans have no monopoly for it
Yeah, it is survival: but that doesn’t mean it’s pretty.
@@Thalaranthey it's nature. You can NEVER change it. Animals kill for survival and nothing else.
@johnshilds6852 finally! Someone agrees with me!
@@Leafy17 that's untrue. Very untrue. They kill for joy, too. Not all, but not a small part
Nigga you killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “ the seagull asked the penguin to step outside.”
The old show Redwall makes so much more sense now lmaoo
Me watching a stingray being eaten 💔😭 Also me after Stingray being released 🥺(thanks god) Also me siding with Stingrays because my real family name is “Stingray” 😂
Them little Birds had the Crow in a Head Lock like in Wrestling, they was Waiting for the Crow to "Tap Out"!
Thanks it was good 👍
Definitely mind blowing
Blue jay is my favorite
I raise chickens, ducks and quail. I recently had a shocking experience when cleaning my quail enclosure. One flew out and before I could react my chickens killed it in seconds 😮
That was awesome 👌🏿
Harpy is the first in mass, first in claw size, and 3 in wingspan among all the eagles.
Raptors have talons not claws
This is why birds are so small so they don't become a problem to humans...
If I see a cobra in my backyard, I’m moving.
No one: Absolutely no one: This guy : *bird name* (said in attempted epic voice)
1:43 "the giants clash, the small mammal runs away, these are the echos of a bygone age"
Have you ever seen cassowaries, ostriches, eagles, vultures hunting / in real life ?
What shocks me the most is how people can watch and not help and don't give me its part of nature.
I know, the birds should shop at Kroger instead of killing food. 😉😁
Why don't you see a psychiatrist, Disney princess?
As brutal, barbaric and savage as nature can be, it absolutely has to take a back seat and stand in AWE of the damage human beings can do to the natural environment and the pain and suffering dished out to both earthly creatures and human beings with many methods incomprehensible to other living forms.
Nothing beats the Peregrine Falcon
The crows in my neighborhood are a menace. I see them hunting squirrels and baby rabbits all the time
Woww…amazing video.
The Skua “skewered” that penguin.
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.
Wellcome Friends of freedom, 😀
That’s just the circle of life on this earth.
Who Knew? Great video, Thanks...
I love birds of prey
You shoulded include the shrike in this video, this bird takes the cake when it comes to brutality
actually theyr not that brutal but maybe our European ones are calmer only thign they do is impale animals on thorns and the like but the animals are already dead when they do so
We made the shrike into the monster it is today. If people had been more mindful about who we prepare shish kebab around, the bird would still have its innocence and gentleness towards its smaller meadowland friends.
5:10 Mordecai playing punches with Rigby
Does anyone know where I can get the rest of the video for these clips??
5:45 that blue jay must’ve heard the swag & surf song 😂
Wow we have heron in my area. I never knew they would eat squirrels let alone whole!
Wow you really like the number 14.
You did a much better job with the narration of this video then some others in the past. It’s obvious you put more time into collecting information. Well done keep it up👍🏼👍🏼
He called a Harpy eagle small lol
When nature goes far than the humanity
A perfect video
"birds can be just as deadly and cruel" *Shows vultures* Vultures eat carrion, that is neither deadly nor cruel.
Nice video👍😁
10:46 Dead Bird? do you even show the videos? thats a DEAD RABBIT!
Blue Jay, “He needed da Money”
Am I the only one who didn’t know Blue Jays eat other birds?
i didn't know crows actively eat other birds and shit. i always had this silly idea in my head that they eat worms and bugs lol
So basically, dinosaurs are still among us.
