I love birds, but the American Bald Eagle population is getting out of control.

The rescue team arrived Tuesday, and Sharpe and two colleagues

If only liberals treated babies in the womb with the same concern.

You would think one of the parents could pick the chick up with their talons and fly it back to the nest.

It’s common in the bird world to literally kick out certain chicks. There are two main reasons. If the adult bird feels that the harvest is lean, they will starve some chicks until they die so the others will be stronger and survive (that Darwin thing). The other is because they perceive one or more of the chicks is weak, doesn’t fight for food, etc. Similarly, the perceived weak chick will be intentionally starved.

If a chick is “kicked out of the nest, it is usually not a mistake. If it were, the parent would grab it and bring it back.

Humans messing with nature.

Right before the incident the eaglet was squawking to mama, “Dead fish again? C’mon mama, you can do better than that!”

They went there and interfered with mother natures culling of the weaklings. Now we are going to have a polluted gene pool in the eagles.
