Jūras ērgļis~Eaglets died! Fly high little eagles~ 6:20 am 2021/04/26 DON'T WATCH ....

IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE!

Milda left the nest. The eaglets were still fine. Both did a ps! They were in the snow and cold for hours ... they fell asleep forever. Chips came to the nest and guarded them. He doesn't sit on the little ones. Milda came back, she landed on the tree top. Then she jumped into the nest. She saw that the chicks are dead. She plucked the feathers from the chicks. After that, she made the nest, rolled the egg and began to incubate. Please read the comments from LDF under my description

This nest has given us really unexpected events this season, but we see that nesting in such conditions can not be successful.

Most likely Milda realized that she would not be able to feed the babies. It is more important for birds to ensure their survival than their offspring (at any cost), as they will be able to continue to produce offspring next year.

Jānis Ķuze comments: About what we observed this morning in Durbe nest, it can be said briefly - nature is nature. The decisive factor for this outcome was the lack of food.

The instinct was not so strong for the young male, so the food intake was fragmentary and insufficient. As a result, the female's behavior changed and she left the nest and babies.

When the baby no longer shows signs of life with movements and sounds, it turns into food for the female and it is perfectly normal for the dead babies to be eaten.
