This footage captures the young Sauces chick falling backwards in the nest and not able to get up. The chick had been preening itself when it lost its balance and literally tips over backwards and for 2 hours it tries to get up or roll over. The harder the chick tries to get up the more stressed it becomes; it's breather becomes faster and we wonder what the out come will be ... Mom watches closes and she starts to intervene to save her chick by loosening the bedding with her beak ... it was a tense situation for the viewers watching. Luckily with Mom's help the chick is over to roll over then get up ... wonderful outcome here ... i was doing the happy dance with all you watching.
Thanks so much to Dr. Sharpe, Nate and the wonderful team at the Institute for Wildlife Studies for keeping us connected to the Channel Islands Bald Eagles Families ... for more information and for access to their eagle cams visit or click on this link www.iws.org/livecams.html

@Arieskie Жыл бұрын

Does your life depend on getting out of bed every morning? Somehow I doubt it. These chicks do not have the strength to turn over easily, and if the hole they fell in is a bit too steep, you end up with a dead chick. This one was on its back with a large stick over it. That’s a fair amount of extra weight for the chick. The adult bird doesn’t have the ability to turn this large of a chick. It can’t grab with beak or talons- it would kill the chick. All it can do is try to loosen the bedding. Given how long it takes to get permits allowing for human intervention, this chick probably would not have lived long enough for help to come it’s way.

So glad she got the chick out of that terrible predicament. This was really stressful to watch, sometimes they kinds of things happen in the nest, it’s hard to believe because it seems like such a safe place for the young ones, for instance there are situations where a chick will get tangled in their mom or dads feathers, happened last year with the decorah eagles. D32 got stuck in the feathers and finally was able to be free, he just laid there after exhausted from struggling (or exhausted from potentially not being able to breathe) either way, it was a horribly stressful thing to watch, even though I know the outcome as I didn’t see that happen live. I also heard of this happening once but the eagle mom eventually took off with the eaglet still trapped in her chest feathers and the eaglet was never seen again 🥺🥺☹️

@wylenetripp205 5 жыл бұрын

Instinct tells them they cannot use their talons or beak to help their eaglets for they would crush them or injure them.

@Sasser2015 3 жыл бұрын

Whenever Pop gets home, she's gonna whisper in his ear "I think we may have created a jackass," and then tell him the story. Seriously though, it's amazing to me that it doesn't occur to the Mom to simply nudge the chick back over with her head. I suppose there has been little evolutionary need for nudging in their ancestry, thus the concept is totally foreign to them.

@pumpupjam9648 2 ай бұрын

Even though this was 6 yrs ago, it still has merit. The mother eagle saved her baby by digging around the nest and removing things in it's way. Eagles, cannot use their telon's to move and save their chicks nor their beaks.

The chick looks too fat to turn over, probably cause it's the only one and gets lots of food. Once I saw a nest where the first two eaglets fledged, and the last one hung just around the nest and ate and ate until one day the branch it was sitting on broke and down it went. Not sure if it ever did fly.
