i swear after watching all the nest videos youtube has kicked up at me i have no idea how birds arent extinct. all they do is eat each others chics. some of them eat there own chics.

Stork parents be like ‘look honey someone did our job’

The first one recovered from the attack. I did not expect that!

11:45 Here, saved you the time.

For inexperienced babies, I think they mounted a pretty good defense. Held hawkie off for a good period.

10:55 I like how all 3 of them ducked the hawk perfectly in sync.

Crazy how the babies already know how to defensively posture to make themselves look more intimidating. Imagine if a human baby started throwing fists when it felt threatened 😂

chicks showed real courage, stuck together: never leave your little kids alone!

At 10:48 one of the birds says: Mama. Then after the bird gets stollen from nest one of the birds at 11:52 says: "Oh oh"

When the chick gets taken the others seem stunned and in disbelief.

He flew in like “what do we have here”

The look the surviving chick's gave at the end 12:00 is priceless...

That one chick mounted the same defense my sister used on me when we fought where she laid down and tried to kick me in the balls. Very effective.

The siblings are like "Who's that new kid you're wrestling with...he sure looks like not playing fair !!!" Later...uh, oh...

I know people will get mad and insult me for feeling like this but i don't care. I actually shed a tear. Poor little baby died a slow death for sure😭😭 I know it's nature but i still find it sad.

Great nature video!! Very determined Goshawk, as they generally are. Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication it takes to put up these amazing videos!

I think I remember seeing this nest in a different vid. One of the parents died defending the last chick I think. It was a hawk as well.

The bravery of those chicks was fantastic 😃 they saw the threat and kept facing the hawks direction as if to say "we're not afraid of you!" Amazing little things.

It’s a good thing mama stork doesn’t care about her babies that much anyways .

The babies are so amazing...they protected themselves from the attack

Such a small nest for big birds.

Nice move by the Hawk! 👏

That entire time the babies were left alone! Of course a hawk is going to think that's his dinner.

For their age they had a good close range def but sadly the hawks dive got the best of 1

The way the hawk just launched at them from the beginning though lol

I’m losing it ! I had no idea that I had seen this 4 months ago

They are like OH WELL MOMMY WAS GONNA KILL ONE OF US ANYWAY!!

Wow, this is really cool!! To avoid redundancy, I'll just say this. Did anyone notice that the moment the targeted one was taken out, they instantly got quiet, and their defense posture immediately relaxed. It was as if they were more stressed out about having to defend the targeted one, and nest, but one it ceased to be, they ceased also. PS: (edited) I will gladly be redundant in saying Thank You! I wouldn't have the slightest clue as to how to do this etc. I personally felt a David Attenborough narration happening in my head 😁

Glad that the other chicks know how to protect themselves!!

I wonder if the hawk Methodically made several swipes at the chicks for the so purpose of having one fall off, or was it just a coincidence. It could have easily clawed one of them out of the nest. Awesome footage!!!

I swear, i never knew that bigger birds like storks had nests high in trees before

The one chick on his back that got the hit - he had a concussion so the other 2 posted up till mom got back 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂 It’s funny how it took that one bird 8 minutes to get oriented. That hawk knocked it silly. Help! I have fallen and can’t get up!

Wow That's one determined little hawk!!

They're like: Our brother is gone!! -u hungry?

Looks like the hawk was trying to knock one of them out of the nest. But the chick's fought a strong fight til the end. They were very brave.

The chick that knocked over kicking trying to right itself drove me crazy

Felt bad for the one who fell over.

The way the remaining two chicks look at each other at the end ..

It's funny cuz they're bigger than the hawk. I guess this is where the term "sitting duck" comes from.

One chick to the other: we split the food 50/50, deal?

Oh! Sad, one is carried away😥

Boy that Hawk sure did whack the chick with it’s first attack. Was lying there kicking it’s legs in the air for ages.

Conversation after they lost their 1st sibling... Chick 1: You guys sleep on top! Chick 2: No, you guys sleep on top! Chick 3: No, No, No I'm the coldest, you guys sleep on top!

It is so heart touching when they stand up for their sibling 😭👌🏼 i really liked the defensive position/posture of those baby storks 💪🏼 great lesson to learn from and nature is both Benevolent and cruel ✌🏼think about the human world as well? And btw it was amazing the hawk managed to mark the target and nailed it to the ground 👌🏼😍

Mama stork must be relieved someone did the dirty work for her.

The title is misleading. There’s three babies in there and the one ALMOST fell out. I wasn’t sure if it would recover may be suffered severe injury but seemed to recover after a good 10 mins ???

He never recovered from that first punch.

10:45 it sounds like one of the chicks is calling for its mama. Tell me I'm wrong.

That’s got to be a goshawk! They’re badass

10:48 - Wow! It almost sounds as if the chick says “mama”

Interesting how the chicks instinctively know to face the danger and continuously posture and open their wings to try and make themselves look bigger.

Oh he carried away the milk-oyster shrunk what a pity where the parents were...

Hawk was figuring out which one was weak and let the fall hurt do it’s job.

Momma gonna realize she took to long when she finally gets back.

How pity that chick, their parents is not there to rescue? My full support to your channel Boss. Mine is also about birds.

Wasn't really carried off. More like tacked out of the nest by the Hawk. At least the Runt of the set survived this chapter.

ドッチボールの避け方と一緒‼️😅

These things are the very definition of baby Huey's. lol

Eagle had a tactic which worked very well...... Scare to cause a fall which isolates one of them and then had her buffet served.

Last 2 storks look at each other: At least they got jerry and not us

Wow amazing footage

The babies have done pretty good enough for the parents to come back. ...

The stalk siblings actually start doing more damage than hawk

It appears the original attack broke the babies neck. But then it sits up!

Por enquanto descansam até o próximo ataque. Pobres aves não tem sossego meu Deus. 😳

Amazing

for those of you commenting on how well the baby chicks defended, that's nature: fight on day 1 or die

After the one bird fell, they got quiet as hell. 😂😂😂😂

One chick to the other { “ What happened to Herman?...! “}

First time I heard birds that size who has that giant voices

Sis: bro where did bob go? Bro: idk did you eat him?

I have some thoughts about seeing this: The hawk didn’t “carry off” that chick. The chick probably weighed more than the hawk. She knocked it out of the nest and possibly killed it there and tore off big chunks and carried them off-that is until a land-based predator such as a snake or feral cat or dog found the remains and took them over. After seeing a video where the stork mother viciously assaults one of her own chicks over a period of a half-hour or so until it finally fell out of the nest, I figure maybe the hawk did their mother’s bidding by ridding the nest of one more mouth to have to feed. It doesn’t sadden me because of that-that and that the hawk had chicks to feed. It wouldn’t have made any difference if it was a furry little bunny or a mouse. I would think evolution (natural selection) would eventually weed out parents with a proclivity to leave their nest unguarded for long periods of time. There might be reasons for some species why there aren’t two parents taking shifts. There might be reasons the mother doesn’t hunt within a few hundred meters of her nest and periodically check to see things are okay. I would think mothers who are more protective of their chicks would be more likely to pass her genes to future generations. Maybe at this same time, an eagle is raiding the hawk’s nest and taking off a hawklet. It’s a bird-eat-bird world out there. The thing that would truly sadden me is if a developer sent men with chainsaws to cut down a few hundred (or a few thousand) trees to clear the land for more human habitation. And then humans would complain when apex predators such as eagles begin preying on livestock and/or domestic pets because their habitats have been destroyed by human encroachment and they are left with no other prey. That is truly bad stuff.

I knew it was going to be that one. Hawk must eat.

Those chicks, was probably thinking “at least we tried”!!!!!

Super! Nice video!

The attacked one survived, actually... the hawk got one of the unharmed ones...

I don’t see where the hawk carried anything off. It knocked it over

Carried ???? Ah no !!!! It just fell off.... Hawk got no power To lift that kid

Just like those aliens from sesame street where the phone rings

At one quarter speed it is obvious that the hawk ATTEMPTED to carry off the chick. The chick remained in the nest. I believe the chick died later in the nest from the severe blow delivered by the hawk. Still a good video.

Survival of the brave, such courage from the 2 siblings, admirable for sure - but I knew the 3rd was toast the minute is was upturned. The hawk senses weakness like a shark senses chum. Cruel world.

Птенцы отлично оборонялись. Я уже обрадовалась когда пострадавший оправился, но не тут-то было 😢

10:46 the duck literally says "mama" I know it's a stroke I just wanna say duck

Who else noticed a strange shaped type animal right beside, on the left of, the nest- a long neck with a head two curved horns on.

From what I see he tried to take one but just knocked him over.

Toward the end it sounded like one of them said “mama!”

Poor babies, they were realy brave

Parents MIA even with the alarm going off. I bet they all got taken eventually

Wow. I thought number 1 was dead too. They sure held him off for sometime.

Someone needs to call DYFS on these stork parents.

It didn't carry one off. It lost its own balance after a failed attempt by the hawk and tripped over the side of the nest.

Damn I feel the baby's weight did most of the job

A caçadora calcula o momento do ataque e os filhotes protegem o mais frágil prosseguindo na vida Natureza assim permite

Wow !! Brave chicks👍♥️

😂 how they look at each other at the end

Interesting enough, mama stock sometimes intentionally kills one of her chicks. It's very likely that one of these chicks was going to be killed anyway. But, as observed by many here, it is quite fascinating how the chicks perceived the threat and fought to the end.

10:55 they dodged/ducked that attack like a championship boxer.

It had its sights on that one since the beginning
