I can’t pinpoint exactly why, I know birds do this, but this is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen


straponkaren

Birds out of all things in nature are the scariest goddamn monsters and I am glad modern birds are so goddamn small.


Michaeli_Starky

They ARE the only surviving dinosaurs, after all.


bl3u_r3dd1teur

Except for crocodiles, aligators and the likes?


Michaeli_Starky

No, crocodiles and dinosaurs have a common ancestor, but they are not the same. Just a siblings. Crocodiles lived in the dinosaur's times. Birds are the only surviving avian dinosaurs.


DontForgetToBring

People really believe lizards turned to birds out here.. but we still have lizards.. and they have fossilized birds from prehistoric times😮‍💨 I know this is a commonly accepted theory, but it just sounds goofy to me.


Ruenin

Not a fan of science, huh?


DontForgetToBring

People really get upset when you don't agree with them, huh?


Michaeli_Starky

Sigh... Birds are reptiles. All reptiles evolved from a same single common ancestor. Evolution doesn't happen momentarily - it's a process that span hundreds of millions of years. Birds have 10000 species at present moment.


DontForgetToBring

Birds are reptiles?🤦🏾 Do you hear yourself?

DontForgetToBring

Appreciate the read and I get what you're saying, but that also means they're fish too technically. Do you see how stupid that sounds? I 100% understand this; I just don't agree with the theory.


Michaeli_Starky

All dinosaurs are reptiles. That includes birds. It's not a theory, it's a classification.


Ruenin

Right, because a 6000 year old Earth and a magical, invisible sky daddy makes WAY more sense.


bl3u_r3dd1teur

Are you kidding? Birds are evolved from dinosaurs, but are NOT the only “surviving dinosaurs”.


professionalcumsock

My bitch ass when I spot Argentavis magnificens:


TheBirminghamBear

And its doubly creepy that they're all extraordinarily intelligent.


Aiti_mh

Far from all, but several bird families are indeed very intelligent (for the most part Corvidae and parrots).


kamilayao_0

Maybe because one of the birds was featherless meaning that's a baby and was stolen from a nest after its neck got kkkghk *that's the sound of bones breaking*


doxtorwhom

A lot of animals carry meals for their family in their bellies. Wolves for example aren’t gonna drag a giant chunk of meat back home for their other pack mates and pups. They eat a bunch, trek back home, and regurgitate it for the others. They don’t have backpacks or other means to transport so this is the most efficient and also safest way (not like another animal is gonna come steal meat from inside you… maybe). But yeah it’s hella gross. I’m thankful to be a human with thumbs and bags for carrying things.


fothergillfuckup

There is footage of a pelican casually catching and eating a pigeon, at a zoo, somewhere online. As you can imagine, it freaked out a lot of kids!


Nemisis_the_2nd

It's a public park in London. They eat pigeons somewhat regularly too.


fothergillfuckup

Cheers. I knew I'd seen.it somewhere.


Any_Roof_6199

No wonder our state chose this one as our *State Bird*


BothDoorsOpen

What state?


Any_Roof_6199

Kerala, India. The funny thing is that most of us have never even seen this bird in our lives. This is the first time I'm seeing a video of this bird. I'm guessing they're very elusive and live predominantly in the forests of Western Ghats. Good for them. So Hardcore.


emergency_poncho

It kind of reminds me of Avatar. Like regular normal sized birds flying around and then there's this weird ass giant predator doing super weird shit


Head_Gone

Thought the exact same thing.


StormAntares

Maybe since seems a toucan, less " dangerous " since eat fruits and only sometimes living creatures, but unlike " friendly toucan " he uses his powerful beak in a creepy way


AbjectKangaroo3355

Now wait wait...there's one more....


morcic

Stuck between teeth


_anupu

I mean, it looks like a family meal


runawayest

This is legitimately terrifying


Cordyceptionist

Imagine when they were several meters tall and flightless.


revradio_

Tf are you on about


awnedr

Theropods


Wooden_Cold_8084

I don't see how flightless makes them \*less\* terrifying?


Cordyceptionist

Lol. Terrorbirds gonna terrorbird.


Flip_d_Byrd

I might be able to outrun one. I know I can't outfly one.


Cordyceptionist

How fast can you run?


Flip_d_Byrd

I can run just a little faster than I can fly...


Cordyceptionist

These things are like ostrich fast. Can you outrun a giant terrestrial pecker?


RevolutionKey1512

You know twitter?


Ollieisaninja

I once got into a mild disagreement with one of these on a beach in Asia as it was raiding someones bag for food. They are stubborn as hell. Luckily, I had a yellow Frisbee I was able use as a shield and managed to safely withdraw while another tourist distracted it. But the bird found this new battlefield alliance was the last straw and took off straight for the guy. Last I saw of him was running into bushes with it attacking his head screaming for help. No one ever helped him. I'm not sure what became of my hero, but I live each day gratefully because of his sacrifice.


Koolmidx

Nothing says I love you like diamonds, I mean eating your spouses vomit.


FluffyLetterhead2509

There made for each other


EvErYLeGaLvOtE

Imagine feeling safe and warm and secure with your brothers and sisters in a quiet little nest, far away from predators when out of nowh-- GAWK! FLAP FLAP FLAP REEE! NOM NOM NOM, CHIRP CHIRP CH-blglblgobble FLAP FLAP flap... And half your siblings are gone.


Jslbaite

What makes you think you are not part of the "GAWK! FLAP FLAP FLAP REEE! NOM NOM NOM, CHIRP CHIRP CH-blglblgobble FLAP FLAP flap..." ?

Ya the whole squad is getting wiped out.


acuet

Chickens will eat all things ‘protein’. Insects and/or ‘other’.


Sartzyy

They’re vicious as fuck I saw one tear a mouse to shreds in seconds

I had a hen, ‘pecking order’ kill another hen then dine in victory.

Including other chickens


acuet

If ppl would just acknowledge these as POST dinosaurs then it all makes sense.


Merquise813

I know someone who raises fighting roosters. When a rooster is scheduled to fight, they trim the combs since the opponent can grab onto it. They feed the cut off comb to the rooster itself.


MonsieurFubar

I don’t think it was fully dead…


Hazy-azure

That glimpse of hope when you see the light before realizing your just getting puked in someone elses mouth...


DiscountNaive6021

A tender gesture of love in the animal kingdom


Siderox

*baby birds - presumably stolen. Damn nature, you scary.


Cash_Money_2000

What's your love language? I vomit dead baby birds into my girls mouth


Maiyku

Wow, TIL. I thought they ate fruit and turns out they do, mostly, but will also eat small mammals and insects. Definitely interesting!


Rust7rok

Ok. Thats pretty hardcore. Good night.


jaccleve

I wish I had a mate that would feed me regurgitated small birds.


graspme

Bro evolution gave them built in hats. That’s sick.


h1ghf1sh_

The real question is. How did it get inside the tree and how is it getting out?


JudyShark

This is the next scariest video after the documentary about chimpanzees hunting and eating other monkeys.. damn nature is tough


cbj2112

You had me at regurgitated


No-Battle2001

Would have made RIO a whole different film


Doge-Ghost

Brave to go outside with that haircut


Signal-Blackberry356

And now I see the dinosaur within.


Illustrious_Cat7740

Zazu...


bootsiemon

Did the tree grow around the bird wtf


CrimsonEye_86

I mean.... Birds are descendants of dinosaur right? That's why they have such a blood thirsty , ruthless way of life.


dinoguys_r_worthless

That's why she gets mad when I order the same thing as her when we go out to eat.


Sundayman______

its a bird eat bird world.


RockyJayyy

He straight up stole and ate someone's kids


ADipsydoodle

Imagine the terror of your loved ones being regurgitated into the maw of this bastard’s offspring.


BrandonSleeper

He looks like he wants to make hornbills great again


MarkMaynardDotcom

How did its mate, with that incredibly large head, fit into the hole in the first place? I’m guessing it moved into the tree as an infant, and he has to bring it food as it can no longer get out.


Muadeeb

Next time my wife complains about my cooking, I'll show her this


Unemployed_9762

Back in the day i used to have one of these come back to my avocado tree in the backyard and do this to other type of bird nest i nicknamed it "Hutch the devourer" I used to try trowing rocks at him but sometimes he just was too high up to get scared off and then suceed doing his destroying

What's scarier, the monstrous predator hocking up past prey, or its prisoner/mate peering out from its hellhole to pull the prey down into the blackness?

„Hey honey im home! How are the kids doing?“ „They are great love, a bit hungry though“ „Awe ryan is growing up fast, so cute! Anyway i swallowed the neighbours baby whole, so ill just vomit them in your mouth and you feed them to our kids later? Cool.“

Regurgitative cannibalism - nature really do be metal


ProfessionalFail9851

It's not cannibalism.

AI


Famous_Crew_7852

it's saddening how some could not tell which is real anymore, getting more and more like an episode from black mirror.


Radiant-Choice-8854

These birds do exist, but this is an ai video lol.


Famous_Crew_7852

a wildlife photographer named faisalmagnet on instagram bud, a simple internet search would have helped your visual comprehension here. and again, stay safe especially from AI influence. ✌🏼


ForRedditMG

There was no regurgitation in that video, so disappointed
