This video shows the brutal side of nature. A 3 day old cowbird chick in a finch nest was overfed seeds and choked to death. It appears the finch mother regurgitated too many seeds into the baby birds mouth which caused the chick to choke and suffocate. The finch mother was not able to remove the seeds before the chick died. This is a common risk for baby birds as their mouths at a very young age can easily be clogged causing them to suffocate if not helped. Usually mothers are able to remove the stuck food but sometimes they are unable to. An explanation video of this event will be coming out shortly.
*This is a remote camera that was unattended. No people were present at the time of this event.

UPDATE: Due to the cowbird chick dying the nest was raided by the cowbird mother. 5/6 eggs were stolen and then the nest was abandoned. An unfortunate end to this nest but very interesting to see nature play out. Check out the video here: kzhead.info/sun/e9VwaKmliV9somg/bejne.html
The cowbird mothers come back and check on how the chicks are being raised by the host bird? If so, fascinating!
It’s stupid that a politician thinks it should be illegal to kill a cowbird because it migrates.
Love to see this shitter dir
3 out of 4 eggs actually
very interesting to see nature play out'' sadistic much?
When youre choking but still have the audacity to ask for more.
☠️
It is instinct, when chicks sense movement or parents nearby the open their beaks. Maybe it 'tried' also for the mother bird to get out the food stuck. Birds do that often if the food is too big or too much. Poor chick.
😂
@@LindaD1982 don't feel bad. the bitch deserved what was coming for him.
@Christian Williams something is wrong with your profile...
Baby birds have the irresistible urge to gape even if they are not hungry. Had to raise 3 baby mockingbirds whose mom was killed last year and nest was destroyed. I accidentally killed one from overfeeding due to thinking it was still hungry because it was constantly gaping. Came back to check in them and one was dead with food coming out of its mouth. Lesson was learned. Other two chicks survived and flew.
Animals are dumb asf u need to think for them most of the time if not they die.
@@justusoconnor3243 Yep, all instinct driven behavior, not thinking of any consequences.
@@justusoconnor3243 The issues that they're babies and can't self-manage, not that they're dumb animals.
@@alestiiidaeno_last3075 you're kind of right, but most of em are dumb as shit tho.
@@alestiiidaeno_last3075 That's true. it's like leaving a pair of scissors next to a human toddler and expecting them to not cut themselves.
I would say that birds aren’t intelligent, but I have also stuffed my face to the point of near suffocation. Thanksgiving ‘04 was a wild time…
Fr. In elementary school, my dumbass has almost choked to death on more than one occasion, and always with the really dry rolls of bread that’d be served at lunch. I obviously wouldn’t learn my lesson, and the next week, I’d be choking on another roll smh
aww too bad you survived
@@asleepyb0i400 I personally know that choking isn't a joke, It was terrifying and painful, but what you said had me rolling! I remember how hungry I'd get in school before lunch. I was all of about 75 lbs. in high school. The food was fantastic...fresh cooked roast beef, real mashed potatoes, green beans, homemade yeast rolls and a bottle of ice cold milk. I scarfed it down! I could just see you cramming those rolls down your throat like that little bird! 😯 I'm glad you didn't choke to death!
birds are intelligent she was just trying to be a good Mum
I do the the exact same mostly when I'm hungry, I eat food quickly and don't chew my food thoroughly.
At first I thought this was a rare case of a chick hatching first and being over-fed by both parents since there was an abundance of food, but then I read the description and saw it was a cowbird chick that hatched and I am far less sorry that it died, as it would have crowded out all the other chicks to claim all the food and let the rest die. Not quite as brutal as a cuckoo chick, but almost. In a way it was almost karmic, but no. It's just nature.
Was this a bastard bird just like when kukoo birds get left by mother to be raised in an unknowing strangers nest? Bc it looks big and huge like those kukoo bastards p's.o.s
@@legion_1123 Similar but not quite as brutal. Cowbirds also lay 'parasite' eggs in other birds nests which hatch first and claim all the food the parents bring, usually starving out all the other chicks. Cuckoos are a bit worse, literally tossing out the native eggs as soon as the cuckoo hatches,and if it cannot it will toss the hatchlings out as soon as possible, as well as claim all the food and keep the parents feeding it non-stop.
@@exidy-yt They are AWFUL CREATURES! They are like Audrey 2 Is from little shop of horrors. Even after they've killed all the natural Siblings and there 3 times the size of both parents put together they kicked the parents out of the nest and the parents have to roost on a nearby branch until the pos cuckoo basically explodes the nest apart bc it's so huge in 3 weeks. THEN it still won't take wing it will live on the damn branch next to "mom and dad" still make them feed it 24/7 until they are unable Between the 2 of them to fill its hunger ONLY THEN will these beast Take wing and leave these Ridiculously stupid and unassuming "parents" whom this entire time think they are the greatest Parental creators of all time, This entire time thinking they birthed some kind of bionic super baby...the entire process drives me nuts 😡🤯😜
@@legion_1123 lol no. Cuckoos are simply trying to survive. By that logic, your also an “awful creature” because you eat meat. Unless your a vegan you have no right to tell a bird what’s wrong and what’s right. They don’t have morals
@@legion_1123 The parents are fooled because they can’t think like you and me. They don’t use reason. They just have instinctive reactions.

As a parasite bird, the cowbird chick seems to behave better than the cuckoo, at least it didn't push out others, rip
It didn't but unfortunately the cowbird mother raided the nest once the cowbird chick died.
@@EverydayCinematicBirds oh no! They always take revenge! 😧
@@veronicafleitas412 They're actually really attentive parents, and will monitor the host nest.
@@alestiiidaeno_last3075 Seems like a lot of effort that could be spent just actually raising their own chick. Nature evolves in mysterious ways.
@@EverydayCinematicBirds oh nooo they took revenge
This is a House finch nest. House finches eat almost exclusively seeds and other vegetable matter, even feeding their young the same. The baby cowbird would not have done well regardless, because cowbirds need more insects in their diet. Shame that the eggs of the House finch had to suffer because of a baby Cowbird who probably would have died anyway.
His mouth is so full and she just keeps piling it on. Must be a new mother. I thought she was trying to take some out towards the end, but I was wrong, she just keeps putting it in there.
Yep noticed that. I was shocked that she kept piling it in even thought the chick was struggling. Every other nest I have recorded the parents will attempt to remove the food. I do think she was a new mother as her tendencies seemed different than most birds I have filmed.
@@EverydayCinematicBirds indeed, that’s what I’ve seen in other nests too. I’m definitely not an expert, idk if you are either, but I’m goad someone backs up my hunch at least.
It's all driven by instinct, as can be demonstrated in the cases of eagles adopting a prey hawk chick only to wind up feeding and rearing it to fletch. They respond to the gaping and the begging. They can't even tell if only one chick is hogging all the food to the detriment of the siblings. There are no bonding or emotional attachments.
@@bobbyd6680 nobody said that there was. But other birds, many, many times, see the chick is choking and try to remove the blockage. I’ve seen it several dozen times. This is the first time I’ve seen the parent keep shoveling food in.
@@Oxzilion Because it's all by instinct. The mother/parents just react to the begging and gaping. If you read thru the comments your "nobody said that they're (they are? you mean there?) was" is incorrect. People try and insert human type empathy to a bird. They all demonstrate the same behavior without any parental influence on chick rearing. They are just wired to feed, not rescue.
Seems like it did it on purpose. Over stuffed the chick's mouth then sat on it until it dies. Maybe it knows that's not one of its babies.
Felt like she KNEW it wasn’t her chick and WANTED to kill the chick, and did it quickly since she had to fly off and didn’t want the hatched chick to kick off the other eggs. I mean she literally sat on the chick while it’s beak was STUFFED like a cornucopia lol
How did the wrong chick end up in the wrong nest?
I would say it would be karmic if so. Especially what happens afterwards.
@@lindahandley5267 *The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.*
@@lindahandley5267 the chick that hatched is a parasite bird, based on the video’s description and earlier comments.
@@lindahandley5267 some animals put their eggs in other's nests and the babies born usually eat/kill the other chicks so it can take all the food
It’s interesting how the mama bird shook its wings just like when it was a fledgling and being fed by its mother when it’s mate was feeding her.
So this is what they mean when they say "killing with kindness"
“Choke on that ya bastard!”
Everyone feels less sorry because it’s a cowbird 🤣🤣 it’s not his fault his mum left him there!
It´s not our fault we enjoyed watching this little pos get what it deserves :) It was a pure pleasure to watch :)
Yea I'm still feeling the vestiges of horror despite everyone pointing out it was a parasite bird. It was still just a chick...
@@ricekrispies1917And a baby cockroach is still a baby cockroach....And a baby rat is still a baby rat....etc.
@@ezstreete ok, and your point? Doesn't change the awful brutality that's committed between these species or the indifference I'm seeing in the comments
@@ricekrispies1917 It would have push the other eggs/chick if it stayed alive
This was like a Happy documentary at first and then it turned into a horror movie. I can picture the Mother saying “o ur choking? Where’s your real mom?” And then start chirping like she’s calling the mother. “Hopefully she can save You in time oh dear!” In happy chirps.
It wasn't happy to begin with. I'm pretty sure the cowbird is feeding her own chick, which hatches earlier than the other bird's. If you're paying attention, you'd see from the start that it's a hostile situation.
@@AkamiChannel Cowbirds do not make nests, cowbirds are black with iridescent brown heads. These adult birds are not cowbirds.
Lololololol
Mum bird: "Get it down yer gullet!!!!" **piles more in** "Get it down that gullet!!!!!!"
Really sad, but educational too... never thought this might be an issue nestings birds faced, but hey, you learn something new everyday
These babies are so annoying that to shut them up the mom had to literally stuff their mouth full until they couldn’t speak, all I know is that I would’ve picked to be a male at birth a lot sooner.
why would anyone be sad ? that bird was a parasite it deserves it ,
@Fidela Romo That bird is a native species, you on the other hand are the parasite in their land.
No no, this is a parasitic type bird. It’s mother lays eggs in the nest and flies away so it doesn’t have to care for the baby.
@@PancakebatterLuigiI’m confused . Why did you say you would pick to be a male at birth ?? What does that have to do with this ?
Lmao. Lmao. A closed mouth doesn’t get fed. And that baby bird is real quiet now. Lmao
😂😂😂 I can't
Lmfao
Well it was a cowbird, which is just like the cuckoo, an intruder ready to get rid of the eggs and instead, he dies, natural selection on the side of the family
"I'm here to steal food from your real babies! *_NOW FEED ME!"_* Parents: *[Malicious Compliance Intensifies]*
Momma bird is like "oh well, I got 5 more."
Well the cowbird mother made sure that all 5 of those eggs died after her chick died by raiding the nest…
@@EverydayCinematicBirds that's honestly sad...and I thought cowbirds are better than cuckoos but yet again that cowbird chick would have ate all the food anyway and let the actual kids starved to death
@@EverydayCinematicBirds Insane she came by and checked.
when you go to grandmas house for thankgiving dinner
Mom: your choking I will get the food out of your mouth Baby bird:LET ME CHOKE!
while feeding, it has not died so far i saw but it might have been died due to suffocation or breathlessness as mummy bird sit over it or it was just sleeping?
The chick wouldn’t let pseudo mum take the food out, greedy beyond repair
Well look at that, even birds can mess up parenting.
It wasn't actually their child so I guess they didn't
the mom's like bro lemme grab it
Bird: oh no! My baby is choking!"proceeds to sit on with big fluffy bum" this should help!
I felt bad until i learned that the bird is a cuckoo bird/parasyte. screw that thing. Only shame is the mother cuckoo later came back and killed all the eggs out of vengeance.
It's a Cowbird. It eats up all the food and sh!ts parasites in the nest. A cuckoo would've tossed the other eggs outside
IS IT DEAD??
My first thought was ngl that is kind of funny. Then I found it it was a parasitic bird and I didn't feel bad for laughing. This is one of those instances where nature gave some karma and did something right for once instead of just letting everything die a horrible death. I feel a LITTLE bad for that baby bird considering he didn't have a choice in the matter and his will to survive was pretty strong.. but he kind of did that to himself too. "you want food? Take ALL the food!" Insult to injury was the mother sitting on his face like yeah whatever lol.
Saddest part was the Cowbird mother who laid that chick in the Finch nest discovered the Cowbird chick dead and proceeded to destroy the nest, cracked open all the eggs, and threw most of the eggs out. Parasitic birds are horrifying creatures.
Sitting on it's face while it choked!!!! Brutal.....
bruh imagine 💀 btw you put "it" twice in a sentence 🤓
Can you show the video of what ended up happening to the dead chick?
I was searching for the song ”The Bird Code” by VOITH and found this 👍 🦅
Как же страшно смотреть такие кадры. 😣 Мир жесток даже по отношению родителей к своим детям.
Это птенец-паразит, а не их родной
It's not their chick, it's a parasite....
My boy literally choked
What is the thing inside the mouth
seeds
Looked at the camera like y'all didn't see that
Really you don't see this if you do not read the title. Video ends with a still frame and you see chick not breathing-who knows what happened.
The video shows a chick being overfeed, from 1:00 to 2:00 (more or less), 2:25 it´s mouth was too full, 3:24 wast last seen moving.
It's not a still frame you can see a web blowing around still.
the thumbnail is terrifying
Too much foods for baby bird being the only one hatched
The mom then sat on top of it just to make sure it suffocates. Funny stuff.
"There ya go...nice and quiet and cozy now."
Shoves food down its throat until the chick stops moving and its insides explode. Mama bird is clearly a genius 🤣
I HATE YOU SOOO MUCH YOURE SELFISH AND A DUMBASS
😨
That's how you get rid of parasites that don't belong there 😂
Cowbird mother come back and attach the nest?
Just as it manages to gasp another breath Mum: Here, have some more
No way 6 baby birds would have fit in that nest if they'd all survived until it was time to fledge. That was a lotta eggs!
11 babies all survived and it's all on KZhead. Look it up
ARE YOU CHOKING?????
Let's give a moment of silence for those people don't know it's a cowboy bird.
That cowboy wearin' chaps?
YEEHAW
The bird wasn't over fed. It was given and insect too large for it to swallow. It chocked to death.
Poor mom she didn’t know how to feed a bird she gave up on raising a child when the bird died
That's what I call irony. These birds have evolved to call for more food from their dupes and it ended up killing it.
I'm in the U.K and stop putting peanuts out for wild birds in spring as chicks are at risk of choking.I also soak dried mealworms before they go out which helps.
Request:what are drifferncs between male and female bird??
Females lay eggs. Male birds are normally much prettier.
I bet she feels like a great parent
I bet she does too! Saved her nest from a parasitic bird that would push the other babies out of the nest when they hatched. Very good observation!
Any chance the adult female did it on purpose?
Basically zero chance, birds cannot recognize that these chicks are not their own so they never realize anything is different. Even if that cowbird grows to be bigger than the others the parents will still think it’s their own.
Baby chick: man I'm dead
Okay so...how did I end up on THIS side of KZhead?
Someone call a social worker! 😠
"humans are cruel!" birds:
Every Italian grandchild
They must be new parents!
Cowbird egg laid in a finch nest and hatched by finch mom as she sits on her own eggs. Not knowing a parasite bird is in her nest. That chick did not belong in that nest..Now the finches eggs will hatch and those chicks will not be starved out by the parasite cowbird chick.
I am depressed now
That death might have been intentional
Actually, the mother reguritated a huge orb weaver spider which couldn't go down fast enough and choked it to death.
How can you tell this is what happened? It's hard to see clear enough to make that identification, isn't it?
That's very specific, my friend.
@@Strype13 could tell by just the glance of the shape of the spider. That one had a huge behind though. It is common for birds to eat ans give their young, but that was too much for that little one off the bat. Maybe Ive watched to many of such vid to tell even the outline shape that it was what did that one in.
@@razorransom1795 if you're able to make that out from the footage here, don't you think you might be a bit overly invested in these videos?
@@jorgeillueca5260 Aren't you overinvested in judging what others might be doing. Are you our social director?

Mom Bird: Ill just put all my weight on it, see if that helps... I got more kids anyway...
It seems the bird over fed it on purpose. They are smarter than we think
It was stuck in the mouth thats a tiny mouth lol
"Así que quieres comida".
Cowbird chicks will never survive in a finch nest. They have no crop and will choke to death from the style of feeding that finches use for their chicks
ลูกนกพยายามกลืนอาหารที่มีขนาดใหญ่ลงท้อง จนสุดท้ายลูกนกก็ตาย เนื่องจากขาดอากาศหายใจ
Why do foreigners ALWAYS randomly comment a description of what happens in the video, almost as if everybody is just waiting and hoping for this idiot to comment what’s happening? Bro move the F on, nobody gives a damn about your stupid comment
the mother bird forgot to use the heimlich maneuver...
Dear everyday cinematic birds, Cowbirds Do Not Make Nests. The adult birds at the nest are not Cowbirds. Cowbirds are black with iridescent brown heads. On the longer video, Mama Cowbird shows up and removes one egg, then the next day pokes a hole in the remaining egg and flies off with the other.
What the hell is a parasite bird
They lay their eggs in other birds nests and expect those birds to sit on the egg and then raise the chick.
@@EverydayCinematicBirds oh ok thanks for telling me
It's Any Bird That Will Replace One Of Another Bird's Eggs With Its Own Egg So The Parasite Bird Doesn't Have To Care For It's Chick
And kills the original birds. Mata a los pajaritos que son hijos verdaderos, los avienta fuera del nido para que quede solo él y así los papás lo alimentan hasta que se va. Se llama "cuco" el pájaro parásito.
Basically freeloaders.. their chick usually kills the other babies too either by starving them by eating all the food that comes in or tosses the other eggs out soon after it hatches.. in short, they suck.
Insert GTA wasted sound effects

Your hilarious 😂
@@elizabethrodriguez2788 (you’re)
I don't think the other eggs will hatch because of the size of the chick. Either that or it's a brood parasite

@@stellviahohenheim The description says it is a cowbird chick in a finch nest so I'd say that makes it a parasite.

Momma still begs for food like a fledgling. Same twitchy wings and all.
it's not really our place as humans to understand the things animals do.
Uhm ... A for Affort?
I once picked up baby Robins and killed one from thinking it was still hungry
A cowbird chick would die in a House Finch nest regardless. House Finches eat plant material almost exclusively, and the cowbird chick needs insects.
It suffered close to 59 Mississippi untill death
