- Sparrowhawk takes on cuckoo in vicious stand-off
Kruger accommodation specials here: bit.ly/LatestSightingsDealsy
This Sparrowhawk did not let his cuckoo counterpart get off lightly in this battle of the birds and at one stage the feathers were literally flying….

31-year-old, Organ Sabiepark, who works at Sabie Park just outside the Paul Kruger Gate, was able to capture this moment on film.
Organ tells us: “I have the best job in the entire world! Getting to spend the whole day being with animals, there is nothing like it"
This was the first time I’ve seen an eagle killing anything.
I was working at the picnic site, as usual, when I heard a noise coming from nearby. I started looking around and suddenly spotted the Sparrowhawk strangling a Jacobin Cuckoo.
When I watched the sighting play itself out, I felt sad about what was happening! The Sparrowhawk was biting the Jacobin Cuckoo and trying to kill it, all while the cuckoo was fighting for its life and trying to escape.
At the end, after fighting extremely long and hard, the Cuckoo managed to get away. That was in some way a great relief.”
Sparrowhawks rely on the element of surprise and as such will often follow a regular route to get close to potential prey.

🤣🤣🤣
wow your so funny. you should do stand up.

Bruh we all knew that the mistake was laying your egg in others hardwork so if was killing
That hawk is like, "in all fairness this bird's fuckin' evil."
Hawks are evil birds also
Doing his civil duty! Taking care of a menace to society.
@@troywright359 yeah but cuckoos are the Hitler of birds.
@@troywright359 Hawks aren't "evil". They kill to survive, unlike Cuckoos who are *literal* brood parasites.

@-DC- and youre here looking like an entitled karen. No one cares what you think
@-DC- I like how you don’t even have any likes on your comments 😂
@@xrayted2506 everyone does these types of stupid ass comments there not funny
I love how in the beginning the cuckoo screams in terror and fear every time the hawk looks down at it. It's almost as if the hawk is teasing it before it plucks it to death.
Pretty sure it’s reacting to the squeezing
Serves the cuckoo right
He's really like "wow, no one is coming to save you?"
😂😂😂😂
And I say to myself "What a wonderful world."
Yes, one day I had to explain the cruelty of the natural world to a devout religious believer, and asked him to think if this world really was 'designed' this way. Absurd. Every second, millions of creatures all over the world are eaten alive, and suffer pain and distress. What a god?!?
@@barryfoster453 : Be careful because God may send you to a place where you'll be tormented for eternity.
@@barryfoster453 I mean this world is only a grain of sand compared to eternity. So if after this short time of suffering, if the creatures are given bliss beyond their imagining for eternity, this earthly world would seem like a distant memory. For example, tooth pain is one of the worst pain I had and had a sleepless night from the excruciating pain. But now that few years have passed, the pain is pretty much like a momentary lapse in time that doesn’t even brother me now that I’ve been feeling well for so long. I would say it’s about perspective, and how long you are talking about matters a lot. Another way of looking at it is that every brain has been created with a certain level of tolerance, if the pain/suffering breaks that level, the brain shuts off so we no longer suffer. There is a verse in the Quran where God says, “we do not test a creation except with that which it can bare.” Meaning whatever suffering we endure, we are capable of baring it, otherwise we would simply die and be provided unimaginable rewards for this short span of suffering we endured. See, perspective.

You may choose to believe anything without any evidence. That is your right.
"Moments after the camera stopped rolling, the cuckoo flew to safety"
About as believable as "nobody was hurt" in those car crash videos.
Hawk: I'm the egg that you did eject , I survived, now, you will lament have been born on my nest.
Flew to safety my ass
Shhhh, don't say that. There are kids here.
Adriana A Bamfo they didn't say that .. haha
Michael He flew to safety in your ass ?
Kevin Schmidt lol
Michael lmao for real you know that bitch dead
Don’t mean to sound cruel, but it’s hard to feel bad for the Cuckoo when you know about how ruthless it’s instincts are
@The Joker As far as I know, Cuckoo’s lay their eggs in other birds nest, then when the baby cuckoo hatches, it’s instinct is to push out all other eggs in the nest, killing the baby birds. This is so it can be feed more food from the parents and such
Most cuckoos do so, but not all species from this family. The one from the video looks like pied cuckoo and you are right, it's a brood parasite, but nestling doesn't push out other eggs.
So apparently just because it kills other birds that means it deserves to die? And I guess you don’t feel bad for all the cats and dogs eaten in Korea, because they eat other animals to survive?
Karma comes round on all species...🤷🏾♀️👍🏾
Hawk. YOUR TURN!
It's hard to believe that the cuckoo made it to safety. The footage implies completely the opposite - the cuckoo probably ended up being dinner to that hawk!
that hawk is raping that cuckoo bird
Let's hope so.
There is 0 chance of the cuckoo escaping. Absolutely 0.
It was written there to comply to the sensitive watchers.
Even if she escaped, it's not a fact that she survived
@@Aron-ve5feyep. Sensitive weak bastards. Truth is the hawk won . The cuckoo is a bastard who needs to be inside the belly of hawk! Hawks awesome dammit screech america heck yeah!
If you listen closely, you can hear the whoops and cheers of all the other birds as they watch the scene unfold.
"Nothing personal, my client Warbler said to take you out slowly".
🤣
You mean to tell me this was a hit? Damn
The hawk is the good guy, change my mind
Your mind is right, it need not be changed
Top 10 anime plot twist
Lmoa🤣, there’s no valid reasons.
Edit-I do feel sad a little after watching it again
I honestly despise cuckoos, if I saw a baby one tryin' to push the eggs out, I'd pick it up and throw it against a wall lol.
@@100tord8 I wouldn't blame you
i dont know why some people in the comments actually feel bad about the cuckoo bird.
I don’t know why so many people think cuckoos are an “evil” bird and have so much hate for it
@@fahoodie1852so why? Because they're brood parasites?
@@fahoodie1852Because in order for a cuckoo bird to survive to adulthood, it kills off other chicks in the nest, which also doesn’t belong to a cuckoo as they lay their eggs in other birds’ nests and leave. They are natural pests
Cuckoo does what it evolved to do, the Hawk is doing the same..... neither is "evil".
@@Aleiza_49 you are 100% correct. Unfortunately many people don’t have the intelligence or logic to understand that human morals don’t apply on a literal bird, and if they even did any basic research they would know this species of cuckoo doesn’t even kick out the chicks
Cuckoo: Desperately flails around
Hawk: Are you finished?
1:38 i like how the bird tries to escape with all its might and the hawk still spends more time looking for predators like there's no way the bird will ever escape its grasp
That is why he is the catcher, not caught.
Whatever the bird goes he going too
if the bird had escaped, it would be like a F-22 against a WWI aircraft. The bird had no chance since the beginning.
The birds escaped shortly after they stopped filming according to the text in this clip.
@@Sovnarkom but how? birds of prey don't release their death grip just like that
“Shhh stop struggling you’re gonna get me arrested!”
O
Oh my god, banana tree, why did that fit so well
I think I’m a banana tree your so right
"Look, if you didn't want to die, you should parent your own chicks from now on."
That hawk looks so lost and confused it's so damn hilarious
"Wait, lunch...you're not supposed to move and make all that racket!!"
Hawk: If I find you near my eggs again, I'll tear your throat out! Got me?
Cuckoo: (Panicking chick killer noises)
I really love the hawk's technique when he stands on his prey exhibiting close to zero effort while his prey loses most of it's energy trying to fly away

"You picked the wrong nest Fool !!"

"Mom! It's me!"
"You don't look like any son of mine"
낙시
That's dark but comedy for me
Actually that was a mother cuckoo that tried to lay an egg on hawk's net and got caught by the Mother Hawk.
She pushed the egg off
So mama hawk was like pinning the Mother Cuckoo Bird and saying “Ah Hell Naw, you may do that *beep* with other helpless mama birds but you ain’t doing that with me, so once I kill and eat yo ass, yo parasitic baby is next”
the hawk’s face look so innocent lol
Hawk: Are you calling your brothers? Ohhh you don't have one.
Cuckoo: .....
Watching this to get my anger out as I saw a cuckoo eat a baby bird.....
i literaly did the same, when it took 1 of the 2 baby chicks lol? i was trynna find something on a pelican lmao nd saw the baby bird vid
its quiet stupid and ignorant as well to apply human ethics to freaking nature of the wild to be respectfully honest. its a flawed and hypocritical mentality
@@yopeepthestyle8308 lol maybe but all emotions serve a purpose, hate towards predators is expected infact, we arnt seperate from nature lol were all animals and we all hate those who take others lives lol even to survive, we all know how nature works lol, ignorance isnt what its about its about wanting every life to live lol, it does apply to every single living thing from your own children or anyone else to the smallest thinking organisms. lol we all protect our pets based on that philosophy.
Giovanni Cruz Im sorry dude but you have no idea what you talking about.
animals dont “hate” other animal. animals feed on other animals to survive, period. they try to sustain their existence as does any living being. and NOBODY hates animals for hunting other animals like what are you even on about. its simply nature.
and wanting every life to live? what about the meat in your burger, on your pizza, in your stew or in your sandwich? we are animals as you said. and we kill other animals, process them and eat them on a daily basis across the world. chicken, turkeys, cows, pigs are all animals. in your case ignorance is spot on Im afraid.
lastly, we “protect” our pets because we have an emotional bond to them. dogs for instance were bred for thousands of years and domesticated as companions for countless of generations. its in their generic coding to follow humans. we have a history with dogs and an attachment. also we protect our babies not because they are living beings but because they are OUR kids. in the animal realm its instinct to protect your offspring to adulthood as they are your brood.
thats why you hating on some bird that kills other birds for survival sounds hypocritical and stupid. because we do the same thing as the cuckoo. we feed on other animals, surviving by any means necessary.
Kevin Lo dude why would you try to put HUMAN ethics and morals on animals?thats such an illogical mentality. theres hamsters that eat their babies alive when they dont have enough food to provide them. theres meerkats and scorpions that will kill their own children over territorial disputes. theres lions that will kill another prides babies just to make a point not to food for the females. also theres lions that will kill a lioness when she refuses to mate. for crying out loud theres baboons that eat their prey from the feet up and they apparently enjoy the screams of its prey, theres otters raping baby seals who drown them after they done. not to mention theres that raid other birds nests and eat the babies alive.
do you hate all those animals because they dont apply to your humane morals and ethics? thats immature and narrow minded. you cant expect animals in the wild to behave like you. we dont go around and hunt down weaker smaller humans and then cook them up (some cannibal tribes maybe, not civilized humanity)
you talking about stealing food when other animals out there eat each other alive suffering tons all the time and everywhere in the world. animals dont prefer or hate, they eat or be eaten, thats it.
if you hate a cuckoo for trying to survive you are representing a person going backwards in evolution. no way of surviving is pretty in nature, there is no rules and its naive to apply human rules to animals in the wild.
Hawk: Wheres my money?
Cuckoo: I promise I will have it next week!!

I find it hard to believe that bird got away. Unless you or someone else helped it. Once a hawk got you it is over.
It died a slow and violent death.
Cuckoo still asking for free food while being killed 😂😂😂
The hawk just wanted to beat him up a little bit for putting his eggs into other bird's nests.
Only females lay eggs. I don't know what sex this pied cuckoo is though.
@@magentamonster It's likely female.
@@zeal9442 look it’s a magpie. This is a magpie. Search common cuckoo on Google and the pictures you get look nothing like this
It’s a Jacobin cuckoo. It could be a male or a female-they work as a team. The male distracts the other bird while the female lays eggs in its nest.
These parents really do their utmost to give their children the best possible future.
The hawk most likely saw the cuckoo messing with its nest so its teaching the cuckoo a lesson
iiSimplyNona cuckoos are evil birds. They lay eggs in other birds nest, and then their babies kill the original babies, and they take all the food
Good job
@@Taesune cuckoo's deserve it they can't take care of their own chicks
@@BobaIsBees ohhhh okay thanks for telling me
Seriously cuckoo birds are the most evil bird ever
" trying to kill " ???
He's munching it alive, what are you thinking ?
Not that the hawk knows what it’s doing, but it’s actions are nothing short of heroic to countless other birds, even ones the hawk would normally prey on themselves.
Hawks may be birds of prey, but they don’t murder chicks.
I'm all for the hawk. The cuckoo might be pretty but he's one of nature's biggest bastards.
Totally agreed.
Why? What does it do?
@@Kadir_1990 Cuckoos lays their eggs in other birds nest which in turn kills the hatchlings of the birds they're leeching off of
@@Kaixoko Ok, I have read something about that, fortunately we don't have those birds around here in my country the Netherlands 🇳🇱. I wish falcons or eagles we're here because of pigeons I hate pigeons they stink and carry diseases.

Why's everyone complaining? At least they don't click bait titles, be grateful they show u nature raw no filters. People always gotta find something to complain about.
Why do you think people are complaining? A lot of people get upset seeing nature at work and how unforgiving it can be. I personally think they should just avoid shit they don't want to see rather than disliking it and bitching, but it should be pretty obvious that that's simply not going to happen and people are going to leave comments being upset.
