Parent bird doing an excellent job tending and feeding the hatchling. For those put off by the parent's handling of baby bird droppings: Parent birds don't actually swallow (to eat) the droppings, which are encased in a special sac lining, but instead, the parent holds it either in their crop or their bill. The parent then exits the nest, flies a distance, and disposes of the droppings elsewhere. This is a technique (fecal sac removal) which passerine birds use to keep nests clean (prevent parasites from infesting the nest and chicks) and deter predators by disguising the location of their nest. Otherwise, if a predator saw or smelled the droppings, it would be an indicator that a vulnerable chick is up in a nest, making it a target. Birds are truly amazing!

since so many of the comments were claiming that the eggs were actually the bird's own eggs or that the chick in the nest was a cuckoo bird that had already hatched, i took it upon myself to do a quick bit of research. the mother bird shown in the video is called a red-whiskered bulbul, native to Asia. the eggs in the nest were most definitely NOT those of a red-whiskered bulbul, as their eggs are heavily speckled. so no, the mother was not pushing her own eggs out of the nest. the chick in the nest also looks like a young red-whiskered bulbul, as the juveniles lack the red cheeks like the parents. most baby birds look almost nothing like the adult bird. the baby bird in the nest is likely not a cuckoo and is in fact a baby red-whiskered bulbul. as for if the eggs in the nest were a cuckoo's eggs, i'm not entirely sure but it's definitely possible. cuckoo eggs can vary wildly in appearance and they often mimic the appearance of the bird eggs that the cuckoo is trying to parasitize. obviously the eggs in the nest look nothing like a red-whiskered bulbul, but it could be that they are a cuckoo's eggs and that the cuckoo who laid them there usually parasitizes the nest of a different kind of bird. that would explain why the eggs don't look similar to the bulbul's if the cuckoo's eggs aren't even supposed to look like that particular species. i will say though, cuckoos typically only lay 1 egg in a host's nest. since there are 2 eggs in the nest in the video, this makes me suspect that the person who filmed this may have placed them there to see what the mother bird would do. in that case, i have no idea what kind of eggs they are. i'm not saying this is definitely the case, but it's certainly a possibility. TLDR: • bird in the video is a red-whiskered bulbul •the eggs in the nest definitely do not belong to it •the baby in the nest is likely also a red-whiskered bulbul •eggs in the nest might be a cuckoo's eggs, but also could have been placed there by a human thanks for your time ✌️👍
I live in Sydney. Over the last few weeks I’ve been regularly deafened by two hungry cuckoos whose poor ‘mother’ (a magpie) is smaller than them and struggling to meet their demands for food. So, in this case I’m watching daily, it’s certainly possible to have two in the one nest.
@@pinecedar180 i don't think it's particularly fair to say they 100% definitely faked it, i'm just saying it's a possibility to consider and that the video should probably be taken with a grain of salt.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, the yellow warbler is the only local bird that can recognize cuckoo eggs and will either throw them out or abandon the nest and build a new one.
I’m not convinced those are cuckoo eggs. The eggs of brood parasites tend to hatch much earlier than the other eggs. I think those are the bulbul’s own eggs that never hatched.
That was cuckoos egg. Bulbuls egg is very small and red. The reason that it didnt hatch is because of her behaviour, she barely spend time incubating the eggs after the first one hatched. U can see her behaviour in other videos too. But ofcourse she isnt aware that was a cuckoos egg. She only knows that it is a dead egg, and tossed it out.
It's really unusual to see Cuckoo eggs so white, but they're definitely not the Bulbul's eggs! | I enjoy researching to learn about things I have no prior knowledge of! My grandson said he wished that more people would do the same before commenting on something they know nothing about. | I agree with Gary Gengar that possibly a human placed those eggs in the nest.
That sounds like the possible case, because if those were the Cuckoo's eggs, it dosen't take long before the mother Cuckoo will come and kill the parents and the hatchlings for their own offspring have died.
Absolutely fascinating. I love watching baby birds grow up. I felt terrible when I had two families of wrens near my house that had problems. They're kind of ground nesters. I had a nest in some bricks that I didn't know about until my dog got two fledglings. The third made it out alive. And at the same time there was a nest in a rose bush that got raided by another animal.
It's very likely that some of this footage is actually the FATHER. Red whiskered bulbuls raise their young together, and both sexes are similar in appearance.

I saw a documentary on cuckoo birds and they monitor their eggs after placing them in the "foster" nest. If the host birds catch on to the fact that the egg is not theirs and push it out the cuckoos will break the host's eggs. The researchers think this is done to keep "smart" birds from reproducing.

That little bird is doing a great job of cleaning up the pests found in the garden - and all that movement will be great for pollinating the tomato plant
What I want to know is why the cuckoo egg’s didn’t hatch first? Were they dead or were they laid after the real chick hatched? Not sure but someone said this bird’s eggs are speckled, so it’s interesting to see that she knew to remove the white eggs
Everyone is talking about how those eggs don't belong to that bird and shit meanwhile I'm looking at the chick pooping eveytime she gives him food and the mother eating his poop.
I’ve had them in twice now. I got them on both the top and bottom, and when it came time for braces they never even put any on the bottom so the spacers on the bottom were for nothing. It hurt so…so…bad. I couldn’t bite down all the way physically because the rubber bands sat directly on top of each other. And then 1 day later, THEY ALL SNAPPED. I had to keep them wedged in for 6 days, and it hurt super bad to get them taken out. I now have them on just the bottom, and after 6 hours it hurts again so bad. 2 are already trying to snap. It makes me frustrated. I want to just rip them out so bad.

@@Just_shush_now within seconds of the video starting we see the mom push an egg out of the nest and the real eggs of this species aren't white. dude, why are you spreading misinformation all throughout this comment section?
The bird doesn’t eat it it just carries it in it’s beak and flies away some distance before throwing it away. According to some people in the comments, hoped I helped
Birds here in Sweden have begun doing this allso. Cuckoo are in recline as fewer and fewer are hatching. They may never fully dissapere, but there are not many left.
“Observe intently the birds of heaven; they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are?”
I never realized that some birds will pick the poop out of the chicks butts... Therefore keeping the nest clean!.. Nasty fkn Pidgeons could learn something from these birds! 😬
That mother did an excellent job throwing away the Cuckoo eggs before they hatched, the bad thing is that once of them managed to hatch and grew quite a lot >:(
Cuckoo lays only one egg which hatches & it then pushes out the other correct eggs of the sitting bird. Cuckoos will lay 12-20 eggs in the breeding season.
I don’t think we saw who got rid of the eggs, but a cuckoo chick does their thing to push the other eggs out at a much earlier stage of development. It’s just about the first thing they do on hatching. So I agree with the OP, I think the parent got rid of them and that they were unsuccessful eggs of her own
Nice to see cuckoo eggs getting tossed away before being able to hatch and cause real damage. Usually the parent gets tricked and it's not fun to watch.
To keep nest clean. Also, baby can’t fully digest, so the baby poop is also nutritious for the mother bird who has to keep her energy to keep feeding her baby.
Even if the cuckoo did hatch, neither would live because the Bulbul is already much further along! Nonetheless, best to push out the eggs altogether and certainly proof of evolutionary prowess.
I think cuckoos are fine when the mother have no children to look after at the time. Cause the baby’s are still cute and I like seeing them being taken care, just wish their mothers didn’t leave them in random nests.
Well if the birds one eye hatched the other 2 had to be due any time until the parasite killed them and laid hervowned eggs which would take alot longer to hatched so mother bird realized
I've always been fascinated as to how the mother always feeds the baby even though it's not her's and is a cuckoo, its like it's far too impressed by the size and is thinking like "holy hell, look at the size of my baby! He's gonna grow up to be a linebacker!"
I've read that cuckoo's sometimes go back to a nest they laid their eggs in and kill the young if their eggs/young have been disposed of. So it's possible that the bird KNOWS but is afraid of retribution
@@catscanhavelittleasalami =NOPE,THEY'RE ACTUALLY EATING POOPS!!!!!!BECAUSE OF POOPS HAVE LOTS OF STUFF THAT WASNT DIGESTED BY HATCHLING AND STILL CONTAIN LOTS OF NUTRIENTS!!!! =TRULY DISGUSTING............................REALLY...................
This bird are very good for knowing the egg that is not her n pushed out. The cuckoo mother pushed her 2 eggs out n lay her 2 eggs. This mother bird know n pushed those 2 eggs out. Now, she have only one baby left to take care.
I honestly find it exceptional that now some birds know how to recognize their own eggs in this way the cuckoo will stop laying eggs in other birds' nests or it will become completely extinct anyway now that many birds are starting to recognize their own eggs maybe less species of birds will be at risk of extinction
Many birds literally dye or color their eggs in their cloacas. Spin the eggs around to get lines, keep them still to get speckles. But even parasite birds are able to somewhat replicate the patterns. It's an evolutionary slap battle.
I honestly got so scared when I saw her being the cherry tomato, cuz I saw a video of hinestly maybe the same mother try and stuff a cherry tomato down the like newborn chick's throat and the chick literally sat there for a whole like 8 minutes literally choking and you could tell it was so exhausted by the end when it finally managed to cough it back up
I'm still not entirely convinced those were cuckoo eggs, they would have hatched a long time ago, if not before, shortly after the baby bulbul hatched since cuckoos mature extremely quickly
It possible that mother bird didn't incubate the eggs and there just dead eggs. Plus bulbul eggs are small and red like looks like blood kind of red. Those were mostly white meaning those are not her eggs. Let's just hope the cuckoo mother won't come back for revenge.
@@Foxypirate20 unlikely since she would have to had sat on them while incubating her own egg. It's more likely that against all odds, they were both duds
@@Just_shush_now are you blind? The mother pushed them out. Not to mention that clearly is a bulbul chick as it's identical to other bulbul chicks in other vids
@@Just_shush_now i have seen cuckoo chicks push them out while they're brooding, but the fact is that that isn't a cuckoo, no way it would have left them there til that point. That's the bulbul's own chick, look up cuckoo chick and you'll see that's not a cuckoo
A fascinating creature! I can honestly say I have never ever seen an infant creature that can be fed and then instantly produce edible to said feeder! Ouroboros!?!?
Birds can be very smart, when they lay an egg they have a calender set in their mind waiting for the day its supposed to hatch, if it doesn't hatch on that day it's supposed to the parents will get rid of it right away knowing its either a rotten egg or an imposter egg
Neat video right up until that momma bird ate poop straight from baby birds butthole. Reading through comments I was educated that momma bird actually holds the poop in her throat until away from the nest, so as not to alert predators. This is even more disgusting. Each poop has to pass through her throat twice. Nature is beautiful.
@@Just_shush_now’m still confuse on what’s going on. Red whiskered bulbul eggs that I find online all have reddish brown specks. Are those eggs from the mom or cuckoos? Is the baby really a cuckoo?
@yongli8276 It's possible this nest has been parasitised by more than 1 Cuckoo. It's hard to tell what the chick is, but the two eggs that were pushed out were definitely Cuckoo eggs.
@@Just_shush_now Cuckoo eggs do not spontaneously change color. Different species of parasitic cuckoo have evolved to have their eggs be similar to their most common host species. Additionally, Red Whiskered Bulbul eggs do not look like the ones pictured in the video that were pushed out by the mother. Also we _see_ that the mother is the one that pushed them out.
@@Just_shush_now I never claimed that the eggs that were pushed out of the nest were cuckoo eggs, merely that they were not the host species' eggs in this case. Additionally.. they do not at all change color. Different species of cuckoo live in different regions and thus primarily parasitize different host species, having adapted to lay eggs that are similar to said species own. This is pretty common knowledge. However, if you'd like to provide evidence and cite sources for your own 'research', I would gladly look over it. Knowing more than someone doesn't particularly matter when what you know is inaccurate.

I think cuckoos are fine when the mother have no children to look after at the time. Cause the baby’s are still cute and I like seeing them being taken care, just wish their mothers didn’t leave them in random nests.
There are some seriously ignorant people in the comments section. Thanks for the share. I hope you didn't stage those eggs for content.
Well if the birds one eye hatched the other 2 had to be due any time until the parasite killed them and laid hervowned eggs which would take alot longer to hatched so mother bird realized
I've always been fascinated as to how the mother always feeds the baby even though it's not her's and is a cuckoo, its like it's far too impressed by the size and is thinking like "holy hell, look at the size of my baby! He's gonna grow up to be a linebacker!"
I've read that cuckoo's sometimes go back to a nest they laid their eggs in and kill the young if their eggs/young have been disposed of. So it's possible that the bird KNOWS but is afraid of retribution
@@RogueDragon05 Hmm... I see some very clear parallels with a certain small group of people you can't criticize...
@@budgetcoinhunter They cry out in pain when they strike you.
@@RogueDragon05 but dont the youngs kill the others aswell?
@@alexbrown8900 Sometimes the out eat them I don't know if they outright kill them
Hey, this is chickbait, no question.
Glad she can spot them
She fed that kid a tomato!!! 😳 it was as big as him!!
NEVER knew parent birds eat hatchlings poo 😳
They don’t, see interesting comment above.
They spit it out afterwards, further away from the nest.
@@catscanhavelittleasalami =NOPE,THEY'RE ACTUALLY EATING POOPS!!!!!!BECAUSE OF POOPS HAVE LOTS OF STUFF THAT WASNT DIGESTED BY HATCHLING AND STILL CONTAIN LOTS OF NUTRIENTS!!!!
=TRULY DISGUSTING............................REALLY...................
They do and they don't.
I was looking to see if anyone else commented on that. I didn't know either and it was a little disturbing 😅
So good to see that some birds are onto cuckoo birds and discard the eggs.
Great footage! 😊
This was just a momma throwing out bad eggs. Cuckoo eggs hatch early.
This bird are very good for knowing the egg that is not her n pushed out. The cuckoo mother pushed her 2 eggs out n lay her 2 eggs. This mother bird know n pushed those 2 eggs out. Now, she have only one baby left to take care.
Wow,how smart is this mother bird.Good on her.
I honestly find it exceptional that now some birds know how to recognize their own eggs in this way the cuckoo will stop laying eggs in other birds' nests or it will become completely extinct anyway now that many birds are starting to recognize their own eggs maybe less species of birds will be at risk of extinction
Many birds literally dye or color their eggs in their cloacas. Spin the eggs around to get lines, keep them still to get speckles. But even parasite birds are able to somewhat replicate the patterns. It's an evolutionary slap battle.
Tổ chim bị nghiêng nên trứng bị đẩy ra ngoài đó mà. Tôi đã xem videos này rất nhiều lần. Thanks
👏👏Không phải trứng chim cu, thường thì trứng chim cu nở trước! 👀
I honestly got so scared when I saw her being the cherry tomato, cuz I saw a video of hinestly maybe the same mother try and stuff a cherry tomato down the like newborn chick's throat and the chick literally sat there for a whole like 8 minutes literally choking and you could tell it was so exhausted by the end when it finally managed to cough it back up

...and I thought my mom had bad breath. Flipping someone the bird means something different now.
So that's how these birds keep their nests clean 😂✌️ nice catch parent bird.
Question: why do the parents eat the chick's poop?
It's vanilla ice cream
I thought the cuckoo bird always destroys the nest if the mum bird gets rid of the cuckoo chick
No, those are the cowbirds
Also the chick is a cuckoo, the eggs are bulbul eggs… the cuckoo Ida brood parasite that hatch’s before all the other chicks and removes all the eggs.
@@Just_shush_nowbulbul eggs are red
@patsch346 No, Bulbul eggs are red. The ones pushed out of the nest are Cuckoo eggs.
@@Just_shush_now stop spreading lies
Bird: Give me food than take my poop🤭🤭i love my mom
good mom 🤣
I'm still not entirely convinced those were cuckoo eggs, they would have hatched a long time ago, if not before, shortly after the baby bulbul hatched since cuckoos mature extremely quickly
It possible that mother bird didn't incubate the eggs and there just dead eggs. Plus bulbul eggs are small and red like looks like blood kind of red. Those were mostly white meaning those are not her eggs. Let's just hope the cuckoo mother won't come back for revenge.
@@Foxypirate20 unlikely since she would have to had sat on them while incubating her own egg. It's more likely that against all odds, they were both duds
Yall are missing the clear issue that bulbul bird eggs are fucking small and red. Not large ans white. The white eggs were the invasive egg
@@Just_shush_now are you blind? The mother pushed them out. Not to mention that clearly is a bulbul chick as it's identical to other bulbul chicks in other vids
@@Just_shush_now i have seen cuckoo chicks push them out while they're brooding, but the fact is that that isn't a cuckoo, no way it would have left them there til that point. That's the bulbul's own chick, look up cuckoo chick and you'll see that's not a cuckoo
Whats that thing the baby bird is pooping and the mother then eats?
i don't know but it was disgusting , and then the bird's asshole started talking to the mother , oh hell no !!!!
Someone explained, in the comments above, the mother holds the poop, which is encased in a sac, in her crop & she discards it away from the nest.
@@rhondaborders3452 thank you for explaining, it makes more sense than what I thought
A fascinating creature! I can honestly say I have never ever seen an infant creature that can be fed and then instantly produce edible to said feeder! Ouroboros!?!?
Birds can be very smart, when they lay an egg they have a calender set in their mind waiting for the day its supposed to hatch, if it doesn't hatch on that day it's supposed to the parents will get rid of it right away knowing its either a rotten egg or an imposter egg
I LOVE IT! I am so happy some birds recognize the filth and rids their nest of them.
GOD GIVEN INSTINCT
Neat video right up until that momma bird ate poop straight from baby birds butthole. Reading through comments I was educated that momma bird actually holds the poop in her throat until away from the nest, so as not to alert predators. This is even more disgusting. Each poop has to pass through her throat twice. Nature is beautiful.
Best bird video very good
Okay does the parent bird eat the baby poop or pick it up and throw it out?
Cuckoo's eggs are blue, not white. She didn't push it she accidentally fix but it dropped out to her nest
@@Just_shush_now’m still confuse on what’s going on. Red whiskered bulbul eggs that I find online all have reddish brown specks. Are those eggs from the mom or cuckoos? Is the baby really a cuckoo?
@yongli8276 It's possible this nest has been parasitised by more than 1 Cuckoo. It's hard to tell what the chick is, but the two eggs that were pushed out were definitely Cuckoo eggs.
@@Just_shush_now Cuckoo eggs do not spontaneously change color. Different species of parasitic cuckoo have evolved to have their eggs be similar to their most common host species. Additionally, Red Whiskered Bulbul eggs do not look like the ones pictured in the video that were pushed out by the mother.
Also we _see_ that the mother is the one that pushed them out.
@@Just_shush_now I never claimed that the eggs that were pushed out of the nest were cuckoo eggs, merely that they were not the host species' eggs in this case.
Additionally.. they do not at all change color. Different species of cuckoo live in different regions and thus primarily parasitize different host species, having adapted to lay eggs that are similar to said species own. This is pretty common knowledge.
However, if you'd like to provide evidence and cite sources for your own 'research', I would gladly look over it.
Knowing more than someone doesn't particularly matter when what you know is inaccurate.
they eat the poo? thats more shocking to me than the eggs
read what really happens= saved to dispoae later
