Hey @sardu55 I love the way you commentate each story of the runts in different nests getting “whacked” if that’s cool to say. Unfortunately the runt in the past two to three feedings hasn’t been eating much if at all. You have to watch closely and you will see he can NOT open his beak correctly and just shakes everything from his mouth if they don’t crawl out or fall out. He whips his head so hard but nothing. Sibs take all the food and the one worm in his mouth the adult took. Really sad how long this dude went on...

Jennifer That’s fine if you think so hey it’s your opinion and you are most certainly entitled to that. Oh and I’ve paused played paused played and I watched this video over and over like it was going out of style. To me he shook every worm from his mouth and if you see a worm whip over to the sibling like it went in his mouth it didn’t. After he went to shake his head after he grabbed worms watch his sibling next to him bc he then goes and grabs the dropped worms and puts them in front of him to eat. The other type of food like insects; he actually shook so hard that he whipped it on top of his head and worms crawled out of his mouth. The adult took one out too. Hey I wish the parents weren’t so cruel and torture him and instead just made it a quick drop off the nest or not do it all.

@jennifer So go to 2:38 and then watch at exactly 2:44 the sibling next to him removes a pile of the worms that the runt shook from his mouth and if also notice that the runt keeps going to the left towards the sibling trying to eat all the worms he just dropped and the sibling is as well. The sibling didn’t drop anything so there shouldn’t be a pile sitting between him and the runt. You can see how at times his beak wasn’t even opening and the expressions on the runts face was like “Oh nothing again” He has no food in his pouch yet the siblings do. How sad

Jennifer Hi Jennifer Yes I did like you had said to; which is actually really cool watching it like that but really long. So to me it’s this: one of the videos prior the male stork picked him up after throwing him with the male storks beak in between the runts and his lower jaw was pretty much pulled towards his neck. So he received major injuries there plus that bulge if you watch the prior videos leading up to that day I’d have to say that it’s a severely swollen injury bc after the one beating he took from the father he was almost like bloated and swollen from bruising inside I guess. Watch the videos from the 3rd in the morning and up until the 5th I believe @aniaandbirds she has all the videos.
