In a tomato plant? 😂😂

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! I see a ripening tomato 🍅 right beside the nest; am betting the kindly humans will let that tomato go and wait for the next so as not to disturb the feathered family 😉

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’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.

Parents: brings food Chick: thank you, here is your reward *poops* 😆

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.

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.

So cute when it looks like the mom looks like she’s pausing to look at the baby wondering why it’s eating so much.

I've never been able to get over a parent bird consuming its child's poop bags.

The care and attention taken to make that nest is impressive.

Me: "That's a huge-ass grasshopper. You can't eat that, baby bird. Be reasonable." Bird: [swallows entire grasshopper in under a second] The only reason we are alive is because the only dinosaurs left are so small...

She's doing a good job of getting the worms off those tomato plants. Everybody needs one of these.

Is that a tomato plant? C'mon, birb. You can do better than that.

A point to consider, since the fledgling is so much older those eggs are definitely not hers. And birds will discard unhatched eggs after a few days as they are typically not viable.

I can feel the mother's love for her baby

Ma’am was too smart to tell the eggs apart. This bird needs a Oscar

The way she yeets that egg over is hilarious.

"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." Yes, total agree, it is a man-made film.

Very informative 😃 I learned a lot from watching and reading the comments 🙏 Thanks a ton for sharing..

That BabyBird Uses Up It's Energy...Vibrating!

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

Beautiful view inside a birds house, watching mother feeding her hungry baby a variety of food, then cleaning its bottom afterwards.

The way it just toots its bootie up and she grabs it. I'm glad im.nit a bird.😅

They say birds don't have lips...Why is that birdy at 3:08 blowing kisses?

cold food goes in...warm food goes out lol

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.

I was impressed by the way Mom managed to shove that huge grasshopper down baby's goozle. Amazing!

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

"I give you food you give me poop... where is my poop?"

Not that I had given it any thought, but I have just learned how a bird keeps its nest clean.

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 >:(

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! 😬

Good work! 👍

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.

I can see the mommy bird swallowed the baby's droppings. I love everything about birds but that part, i find it hard to believe. Love nature and the outdoors. Thanks for sharing!

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.

She's a Very smart mother

Beautiful! Lovely songs! And SMART!!!

I know that parents take a lot of shit but this is ridiculous.

Didn't know the other birds were smart enough to do that

“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 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

This is the cleanest bird nest I've ever seen.

Bird bird bird,bird is the word...

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.

Are the parents... eating its POOP?! also lol, wrekt. phosphorous for the garden anyone?! lets just hope the cuckoo doesn't come back and kill the baby in revenge! Also that shaking of its head makes it look like the baby is seizing! I know its not but... wow creepy.

Seeing the mom clean the baby's face from food. Cute

6:28 Just throw it out! Why do you have to eat it!?

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.

The way the mother bird immediate ate the poop from the baby made me almost puke 🤢

Wonderful video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍😍

wait, did she eat the *thingies* ? 😂

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!"

Mom's are getting smarter with the cuckoo eggs! Good mom!

Cantik bangat burung nya, semoga channel ini terus maju👍

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

hi~!! What is the exact name of this bird? I'm going to search for it and listen to it. I love the sound of this bird.

I couldn’t stop watching that babies birds poop shoot

cuckoo: am i your kid? mother: no cuckoo: nooo mother: you are rejected

I have always hated the cuckoo for this...finally came across a bird who was able to figure it out. 😀

So that's how these birds keep their nests clean 😂✌️ nice catch parent bird. Question: why do the parents eat the chick's poop?

...and I thought my mom had bad breath. Flipping someone the bird means something different now.

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!?!?

The Cuckoo lays only one egg & when it hatches it pushes out the other eggs by it's back.

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

There's a camera so where's the vid of the cuckoo laying the eggs

So good to see that some birds are onto cuckoo birds and discard the eggs.

How big is their tomato plant there? That must be the biggest tomato plant in the world. It's like a tree already. Or maybe it is a tomato tree.

good mom 🤣

profhet Sulaiman AS smart bird..mashaallah

Does this species of bird generally notice cucko eggs? Is this behavior unusual for the species? Are there species that can tell?

Never seen a bird make such a solid poo before

what was the last thing mother feed to the chick, some kind little tomato? Is this normal? I though they eat only meat

Wow,how smart is this mother bird.Good on her.

NEVER knew parent birds eat hatchlings poo 😳

Why the mother eat the poop?

Bird: Give me food than take my poop🤭🤭i love my mom

Excellent!!

She fed that kid a tomato!!! 😳 it was as big as him!!

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.

They have a nest in tomatoes?!?

Verry intelligent Mom bird.🐦🐣

Smart mother bird

I thought the cuckoo bird always destroys the nest if the mum bird gets rid of the cuckoo chick

Own eggs getting kicked out. Parasite stays!

Eggs either weren't hers or not viable. They know when to dispose of eggs. Not done "angrily", just done, part of nature

Reading these comments is giving me a migraine.

This was just a momma throwing out bad eggs. Cuckoo eggs hatch early.

Great bird footage! Lovely species!

I’m sorry, is the baby bird pushing out parasites, or is it exactly how it looks?

Tổ chim bị nghiêng nên trứng bị đẩy ra ngoài đó mà. Tôi đã xem videos này rất nhiều lần. Thanks

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.

Good mama 👍🏼💖

Wtf kind of system is that?!? She shoves food in one side, and he immediately releases some kind of.....thing from his back, and she eats that?!? Like....WTF!!! That's disgusting!!!!

I LOVE IT! I am so happy some birds recognize the filth and rids their nest of them.

Whats that thing the baby bird is pooping and the mother then eats?

Glad she can spot them

Was she pushing out a cuckoo's egg? Or was she merely disposing of an egg she was no longer roosting on as it was probably no longer viable? I don't mean "was that or wasn't that a cuckoo's egg?" I mean "did she recognise it as such and reject it, or was the egg just clearly too late or not viable?".

they eat the poo? thats more shocking to me than the eggs

Cuckoo's eggs are blue, not white. She didn't push it she accidentally fix but it dropped out to her nest
