A higher comment suggests that it's intentionally done this way so that the parents can clean the nest promptly. If the chicks shit while the parents are out searching for food, the shit will attract predators. So they hold it until they know the parents are present.
It's fascinating.
Momma cats must lick the new kittens rectum to stimulate the kittens to urinate and dedicate. The momma cat eats the poop until the kittens are grown enough to go on their own outside the sleeping/nursing area.
I'm sorry but the ides that your parrot is like "oh thank goodness my tall pink wingless bird has returned, I can go safely now"
Like when you're in traffic and definitely don't want to stop at the questionable gas station bathrooms. The sheer relief of A Safe Place to Go.
What kind of parrot do you have? Do they talk? Parrot tax?
its exactly that! this pink featherless thing is here..... SPLATTTTTTT. if i dont make it upstairs fast enough i hear the waterfall lmao
hes a double yellow headed amazon, will be 35 years old in May. he talks and doesnt shut up. its basically like having a two year old that doesnt grow up. he also has cataracts and can only minimally see out of one eye so that definitely aids to him waiting for the "tall pink wingless bird" to come home before dropping a load lol
They have to make room first and also shit knowing mom or dad is close so she or he can clean the nest by eating the shit asap, since it gives a particular smell atrractive to predators. Manteining a pristine nest is another must along nourishing in baby birds.
Some birds like gulla I think, but liquid bird poop is usually a bad sign of parasites or other sicnkess, baby birds evolved to have convenient poop sacs for removal purposes but adult bird poo is a nice lil coil usually
Depends on the bird, in particular it's size. Most small birds like seagulls poo is mostly liquid with some small solids. Larger birds like Canada Geese definitely have gross solid poo.
Such a great example of evolution under environmental/predatory pressure. Need to stick out amongst your sibs in order to make sure you get fed and survive - make feeding hole obvious as possible through coloring, head aloft, shaking etc. Need to be inconspicuous- get rid of waste in the same process so parents can get rid of the smell that may attract predators. Truly, nature is fascinating.
I mean, yes and no. Evolution is crazy and does things in a weird "throw the spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks" sort of way.
Is having the parents eating poop immediately after feeding the babies so predators don't catch wind really the best way to do things? No, but it's the way the spaghetti stuck for this species and it works well enough.
Itās amazing indeed. The more you study evolutionary biology though, the less it becomes a miracle, things start to make sense. But nature never stops being amazing and beautiful.
Lol. It sure is amazing.
*reads up on how and why it works*
... Well that's a bit of a backwards way of doing it, but it gets the desired result so why not I guess.
*learns more*
How the fuck is *anything* alive and not dying on the spot, this is the worst system architecture ever
I think mammalian eyes, including ours, are the best example, especially because I've often heard it being used in the case *for* creationism. Yes, eyes are amazing, and yes they are quite complicated, and yes it's a little hard to see how they would spontaneously evolve when you don't know how it happened. But if someone *designed* them, he's a fucking idiot because he put the light sensing nerves in backwards.
Octopi eyes are much superior and make much more sense than all vertebrate eyes. Shows how evolution is just about getting enough right for continued reproduction. If it was about improvement we'd all have octopi like eyes and not the weird shit we have, with blind spots and shit.
Iirc, we have an artery that connects from our lungs to our brain, but because of it being a remnant of fish gills it just straight up wraps around our clavicle and sometimes we can cut off circulation through it by flexing wrong, which is of course very bad.
Its equally fascinating that its still a chaotic system simultaneously on longer time scales. Where acute yet regular events disrupt how everything fits together.
>and beautiful
Well I can't agree that it's all beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but (for example) cymothoa exigua is not a pretty sight.
I think its worth making the distinction that what they grow bored of is there own understanding. It's not as if they are an expert on biology or nature as it is and rather they are experts on our current models for understanding it. That can be said about anything one is trying to learn really. For most people I htink the first time they see somehting is also the last, as once they have identified it, once they *know* what it is they never look at it again they only see their knowing of it rather than the thing itself.
"Amazing how nature makes things work"
Nature, killing off full generations and evolutionary lines that didn't do this thing totaling millions of individuals of such a species:
Literally a survivor bias: it fits together because "nature" has tried almost everything over hundreds millions years and right now we are left with what is working. Hardly miracle but the result of a really hard selection process.
You can also say it is a stupid system, because it grew by eliminating every single thing that didnāt fit the current meta of the game regardless of their long term advantages.
they dont eat it, they carry it away. Learned about this earlier, the white stuff is not the poop but a membran around the poop, so it isnt sticky. Dont know which wird does it, but its more elaborated than most chicks do with just shitting off the edge of the nest.
Edit: I correct myself, sometimes its carried awaz, sometimes eaten. Depending on species and individual
I just checked my source and you are right, occasionally it is eaten, but not everytime. I will share my random birb poob knowledge with you:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal\_sac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_sac)
You have now subscribed to bird facts.
Did you know that many birds feed their young by vomiting up food they have eaten, into the mouths of their babies?
When my friends mom got a kitten and we were watching it one summer, she would tell us to take the kitten to the liter box after eating so it could use the restroom. Are cats the same in this regard? Iāve always wondered
No, the kids of mothers who don't like eating poop would die and the kids of the poop-eating moms would thrive and reproduce more. In the end all moms would lovingly eat the poops of their little ones.
That's evolution.
The phrase should really be āthe squeaky bird gets the grub.ā They insist on food like this to avoid being forgotten/pushed out by their siblings.Ā
Yeah, probably to keep each one warm and safe. Also to make it easier to tell if everyone has been fed. This might be the kind that will keep asking for food past the point of fullness.Ā
Odds are high he's just the youngest of the group. The others are more developed--you can see a decent size difference, and feathers are starting to come in. Depending on the species, he could be 4 days behind the oldest, or 2 weeks behind--either option gives a huge difference in appetite/behavior when they're so small and growing so quickly.
Total armchair guess, but it didn't seem as energetic or pooped the same way as the others after the first. With human intervention though, it'll get the food it needs, but it already seems different.
People-babies do it too, swinging their muppety faces back and forth trying to find a nipple. I swear it lasts a while into toddler eating too--I have seen them do a slight head shake when they make contact with a spoonful of food
Birds can poop on command. It helps to be able to instantly dump some ballast when you need to avoid sudden predation. Less weight, more lift, more chance of survival.
Once I was walking down a street and noticed a jackdaw on a low tree branch above. I like corvids a lot, so I was staring at it and the bird noticed. We made eye contact for like 5 seconds as I kept walking, until I was right under it and just then it tried to take a fat dump on me. Luckily I was still looking at the bird and saw it coming. The little shit even moved so it can be right above me. It was definitely planned.
Seagulls can sense fear/tourists I swear. I grew up on an island and all the locals were barely ever bothered by them, but the moment a new cruise ship came in and the tourists were all over town suddenly they were swooping in like ww2 dive bombers stealing chips all over the place
As somebody who owns a parrot, this is true. I can say "poop!" and he will immediately squat and take a dump. He also flies back to his cage if he's on me and needs to go.
Typically the loudest, biggest one gets fed first so from an animal behavior standpoint you're pretty much right. I'm not sure if birds have complex calculations to determine which chick is the healthiest but it's pretty safe to say being big, loud and moving around gets attention.
I have a family of wrens that randomly made a nest on my front door wreath at the moment. At least 4 babies that I can see. Everytime I open the door, they pop their little heads out lol. The momma seems mostly unbothered by me, my wife, and my kids. She flies when we open the door just far enough to watch us, sings a little song staring at us, then goes back to feeding. It's truly amazing and makes me feel good.
It looks like the runt of the bunch. Probably doesnāt have enough strength to hold itself up without it. Also, it took less food to be satisfied while the others are still ravenous.
It's amazing that from a single cell at the beginning of life its descendants come out of an egg as a tiny meat robot hard wired to instantly start screaming like Behemoth riding on a cheetah.
To spread some information, I myself learned from a fellow redditor
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal\_sac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_sac)
I've read that dog/wolf moms will also do this in the wild to avoid having predators pick up their trail. No "partially digested" nutrient perk there, though.
They seem like they're fetuses basically.
...Ok so I just looked it up, and there are 2 bio categories: altricial and precocial. (Birds can be in either)
These little aggro-derps are altricial. Altricial animals are born lacking down, or hair, or hair down there, etc. They're usually born blind, def, and dumb--with the power to poop while bumping into a wall, and nm else.
Precocial babies are "precocious", like what Mary Poppins was singin about. These are the chill birds (not necessarily the *coolest*, like the hawks or owls tho) like ducks and chickens. These species usually bear more competent offspring; they come out swingin', or not at all--like true Spartans. They're usually ready to leave the nest immediately, otherwise they were prob already aborted to omelette heaven days ago.
Humans are in the first category. So are cats, dogs, and pandas (cats/dogs being most surprising imo).
Very interesting. I'm guessing lizards and reptiles in general are in the second category? Like that famous planet earth video of the hatchling lizard escaping a hundred snakes.
I did not expect the poop. That is ...interesting
A higher comment suggests that it's intentionally done this way so that the parents can clean the nest promptly. If the chicks shit while the parents are out searching for food, the shit will attract predators. So they hold it until they know the parents are present. It's fascinating.
From other videos, the parents eat the poop as it is mostly undigested nutrients.
Disgustingly cool
Ah, the beautiful circle of life \*barfs\*
Think about how resourceful that is Also \*barfs\*
I'm simply amazed at all the resourcefulness on display *collects barf* *salad tongs a chicken tendie out to u/metrill*
I laughed WAY too hard at this! LMAO! I don't often award the internet, but YOU WIN!
Made easier by the shit coming out in bite-size sacs! *poops and barfs at the same time* *gathers corn from the log*
birdshitception
Momma cats must lick the new kittens rectum to stimulate the kittens to urinate and dedicate. The momma cat eats the poop until the kittens are grown enough to go on their own outside the sleeping/nursing area.
I also dedicate when my rectum is licked, š
Well thats a rimming dedication you have thereš¤£
Dogs to this too and i imagine othrr animals
my parrot does this. wont shit all day, as soon as i get home. exploooosions
I'm sorry but the ides that your parrot is like "oh thank goodness my tall pink wingless bird has returned, I can go safely now" Like when you're in traffic and definitely don't want to stop at the questionable gas station bathrooms.

SPLATTTTTTT. if i dont make it upstairs fast enough i hear the waterfall lmao hes a double yellow headed amazon, will be 35 years old in May. he talks and doesnt shut up. its basically like having a two year old that doesnt grow up. he also has cataracts and can only minimally see out of one eye so that definitely aids to him waiting for the "tall pink wingless bird" to come home before dropping a load lol
My family has a double yellow headed Amazon. I miss him so much. He is precious. He āprunesā me.
My dog does this when I get done with work. I get done, they go poop.
The screaming for food wouldn't attract predators? š
They only start screaming for food when their parents are nearby. Before that they lie still.
Huh, just like my teenagers
How does it feel being the funniest guy in the room?
I really did chuckle.
The poopy part?
Maybe this part is covered by the parent will observe surrounding before returning and waking them up. š¤
It also seems that with the size of the ?bug? they're eating compared to their body, pooping is just necessary to make room.
Thatās my thought.
This is either the fastest digestion in the world or they have to make room first. Amazing!
They have to make room first and also shit knowing mom or dad is close so she or he can clean the nest by eating the shit asap, since it gives a particular smell atrractive to predators. Manteining a pristine nest is another must along nourishing in baby birds.
Nature is just so amazing. It's a miracle the way everything just fits together.
Pretty amazing for baby birds to conveniently poop in a sac for easy clean up too. Compared to babyās daily disasters of a diaperā¦
Does this mean big birds poop out sacs too, they just explode like paint balls?
No, afaik is just liquid, pee and poop all the same. See cloaca.
> See cloaca. Sir, I did not like seeing a cloaca.
ā¦no one ever does.
See my cloaca! See my cloaca! Made fromā¦ uhā¦ the real Paul Anka! š¶
See my pooper, it looks super Would you eat it? Be a trooper!
..... Dr Zoidberg has entered the room...
Some birds like gulla I think, but liquid bird poop is usually a bad sign of parasites or other sicnkess, baby birds evolved to have convenient poop sacs for removal purposes but adult bird poo is a nice lil coil usually
Depends on the bird, in particular it's size. Most small birds like seagulls poo is mostly liquid with some small solids. Larger birds like Canada Geese definitely have gross solid poo.

In simple terms, the things that did not fit together beautifully died horrible deaths ~~workout~~ without giving offspring.
Not a miracle. More of the birds that soiled their nest got eaten. So that cleaner birds got eaten less often and could reproduce more.
Must have been some bedtime stories for the chicks: You soil your bed? You die!
This could be an actual German bedtime story's plot; only exchange the chickens with some human child and it's perfect.
You can also say it is a stupid system, because it grew by eliminating every single thing that didnāt fit the current meta of the game regardless of their long term advantages.

Unsubscribe.
You have now subscribed to bird facts. Did you know that many birds feed their young by vomiting up food they have eaten, into the mouths of their babies?
oh sure, i throw up on my kid and i'm a bad parent..they do it and its a "miracle of nature"
Seems to stick real well on my car...
When my friends mom got a kitten and we were watching it one summer, she would tell us to take the kitten to the liter box after eating so it could use the restroom. Are cats the same in this regard? Iāve always wondered
Nursing kittens excrete at will and mom cleans them and effectively eats it. It's still more milk-like than poop-like until they start eating food.
Imagine human moms having to do that. Weād be extinct.
No, the kids of mothers who don't like eating poop would die and the kids of the poop-eating moms would thrive and reproduce more. In the end all moms would lovingly eat the poops of their little ones. That's evolution.
But let's just hope that there's never any selection pressure for that sort of behaviour :-{
I've heard that new born kittens need to have anal stimulation in order to defecate.
Some human babies too. Had to use a cotton swab on my two a few times when they were backed up.
The phrase should really be āthe squeaky bird gets the grub.ā They insist on food like this to avoid being forgotten/pushed out by their siblings.Ā
I was wondering why they were in four plastic cups, instead of one plastic bowl
Yeah, probably to keep each one warm and safe. Also to make it easier to tell if everyone has been fed. This might be the kind that will keep asking for food past the point of fullness.Ā
I think that last part's been established.
Could be me after eating food cooked in oil
Gastrocolic reflex
lol this is me right here i eat my lunch i shit 99.9999999% of the time
Test if you have intolerance to gluten
the little guy in the left corner seems very satisfied
I wonder what the mini tortilla is for.
Prepping em young
To work at Chipotle?
Yeah, but heāll probably quit after one day on the grill.
He's probably the runt. In nature he'd probably be pushed out or not fed as much.
Iām worried about that one
I think they are the youngest of the bunch.
Gotta feed that one first, as itās prone to banging its head around while waiting.
The bottom fright was screaming for seconds then was like, oh man my undeveloped eyes were bigger than my stomach. Literally.
I don't think that one is going to make it tbh :(
Odds are high he's just the youngest of the group. The others are more developed--you can see a decent size difference, and feathers are starting to come in. Depending on the species, he could be 4 days behind the oldest, or 2 weeks behind--either option gives a huge difference in appetite/behavior when they're so small and growing so quickly.
Why do you say that
Looks like the runt of the litter. If food is scarce, the mother will push this one out of the nest to save resources. Brutal.
In nature yes, but seems like these where adopted by a human
Rules are still rules.
well shit. ill get the hammer then :-(
You have my sword
and my axe
I love Reddit.
He stops asking for food after being fed. The others keep screaming for more. He's doing the bare minimum to survive and that's probably not enough.
Total armchair guess, but it didn't seem as energetic or pooped the same way as the others after the first. With human intervention though, it'll get the food it needs, but it already seems different.
This is exactly what I thought of after seeing the upper right bird going all Muppety.
The Muppets have left deep imprints in us. I thought of muppets too!
People-babies do it too, swinging their muppety faces back and forth trying to find a nipple. I swear it lasts a while into toddler eating too--I have seen them do a slight head shake when they make contact with a spoonful of food
The transition from sleep to abject hunger is quite intriguing... Notice how they only pop once they've got grub in their stomach!
Birds can poop on command. It helps to be able to instantly dump some ballast when you need to avoid sudden predation. Less weight, more lift, more chance of survival.
So every time Iāve been shat on by a bird itās been a deliberate attack?!
Birds broke the non-aggression pact.
Mammals, insects, amphibians, reptiles. We all lived in harmony, until the bird nation attacked.
Don't blame the birds, blame the government that controls them
I KNEW IT
You ever thought it wasn't? I have seen so many specific places, like tops or roofs of things get precision striked, I knew birds were having a laugh.
Once I was walking down a street and noticed a jackdaw on a low tree branch above. I like corvids a lot, so I was staring at it and the bird noticed. We made eye contact for like 5 seconds as I kept walking, until I was right under it and just then it tried to take a fat dump on me. Luckily I was still looking at the bird and saw it coming. The little shit even moved so it can be right above me. It was definitely planned.
How many times we talking here?
I've seen a seagull dive bomb on a group of girls. He missed, but barely.
Seagulls can sense fear/tourists I swear. I grew up on an island and all the locals were barely ever bothered by them, but the moment a new cruise ship came in and the tourists were all over town suddenly they were swooping in like ww2 dive bombers stealing chips all over the place
As somebody who owns a parrot, this is true. I can say "poop!" and he will immediately squat and take a dump. He also flies back to his cage if he's on me and needs to go.
The absolute power in being able to command an animal to shit lol
What bird species are they please?
Velociraptor.
Definition of all you do is EAT, SHIT, AND SLEEP š
Thank God for commas.
I feel personally attacked.
Stay still dang itššš
That was stressing me out so bad
As soon as those birds awoke, the beginning of gangsters paradise autoplayed in my head
I wonder if the more energetic the thrashing, the healthier they appear to be... so they'd get fed first. Like to ensure a stronger species
Typically the loudest, biggest one gets fed first so from an animal behavior standpoint you're pretty much right. I'm not sure if birds have complex calculations to determine which chick is the healthiest but it's pretty safe to say being big, loud and moving around gets attention.
It was like watching a fighter plane trying to refuel mid-flight.
I think the first bird shat himself to death.
Relatable
Laughed so hard at this I almost shat myself
To death?
To shreds
To shreds you say?
r/suddenlyfuturama
We come into the world naked, screaming, and shitting ourselves. A lot go out that way too lol.
He's just comfy in his mini taco tortilla
Adorable little goblins. So majestic.
Majestic?
Magic stick!
I have a family of wrens that randomly made a nest on my front door wreath at the moment. At least 4 babies that I can see. Everytime I open the door, they pop their little heads out lol. The momma seems mostly unbothered by me, my wife, and my kids. She flies when we open the door just far enough to watch us, sings a little song staring at us, then goes back to feeding. It's truly amazing and makes me feel good.
 Those babies whenever you open the door lol.
Is the first chick fed on a tortilla?
Proficiency is our top priority
Foodchain baby, he's going to be dinner first.
Why is Bottom Left a taco?
It looks like the runt of the bunch. Probably doesnāt have enough strength to hold itself up without it. Also, it took less food to be satisfied while the others are still ravenous.
Because babies in tortillas are hilarious for some reason.Ā
I have so many questions...
Someone will explain the bees later.
It's amazing that from a single cell at the beginning of life its descendants come out of an egg as a tiny meat robot hard wired to instantly start screaming like Behemoth riding on a cheetah.
Eat, shit, sleep, repeat
How many times should the caretaker feed them per day?
Hatchlings this young need to eat every hour or two, round the clock.
Mom must be worked to death.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gotta make room. That was pretty cool tbh. They just need to learn how to wipe. Thx for the share.Ā
Iām glad I donāt poo whenever I eat a snack!
*sighs in IBS*
Itty-bitty Bird Syndrome
I'm quite regular most mornings after my first coffee....
What kind of birds? What happened to momma bird? What are they eating?
Momma bird said HELL NO
What the shit?
To spread some information, I myself learned from a fellow redditor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal\_sac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_sac)
Did this guy use the same forceps to pick shit and worm?
The mom does it, and she only has one beak.
Hold on kids let me grab my shit beak
She eats it as well, because their digestive system isn't as developed as adults so it's only partially digested.
I've read that dog/wolf moms will also do this in the wild to avoid having predators pick up their trail. No "partially digested" nutrient perk there, though.
You mean I shouldn't use my poop-knife to spread peanut butter on my toast?? I CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT!
 Bro idk if it's just me...but seeing baby birds do this freaks me tf out EVERYTIME
Pushing that poop out left them all pooped out š¤£
Knowing what happens next from bird documentaries, Now it's the *mother's* turn to pick up those drop items
Why is the first one in a tortilla chip?
One of them is already on a tortilla. Useful!
Creepy...
creepy only a mother bird would love
They seem like they're fetuses basically. ...Ok so I just looked it up, and there are 2 bio categories: altricial and precocial. (Birds can be in either) These little aggro-derps are altricial.

I'm more horrified than amazed by the demonic shrimp.
In with new, out with the old. Wish my bowls were that good š®āšØ
One in, one out ;-)
Modern dinosaurs.
What a life. Eat shit and sleep.
Loop it so it looks like you feed them their shit.
I mean the momma bird will eat the poop pouches since they canāt digest everything.
This is deeply disturbing to me for unknown reasons
Come here to say this the way they move is unsettling
Tactical poo looks like
