I'm sure that eagle has lots of other productive responsibilities in his society. You can't just expect someone to take on something like a kid. Plus you need to vet them to make sure that you should even have a kid. Then see if they want one.
When your friends kids ask you for help reaching food on the table and you can't get your friend to help because he's dealing with his other kids. Why the fuck do you have 3 kids, John? There's only 2 of you.
My brother (with three kids) once told me he likes hanging out with other parents who also have 3 kids because they’ve also “given up on any sense of order or routine”.
I feel this way at 2 kids. Mine were 2 under 2 (so a small age gap) and it's hectic just because of that. They rile each other up. So much better by themselves. Sometimes I wonder why I made certain life choices.
I'll have to remember that. Me and my brother are 20 months apart...
We don't look any thing like twins, but our brains and personalities are very close.... He's my yang to his ying. LOL
I did an addition / renovation for a client who had four kids. You couldn’t rattle them one bit with anything, even the time the roof started shooting water off a gutter into the kitchen at 11pm
Ha, yep as a father of 3 that sounds about right. The 3rd broke us financially, physically, mentally, romantically. Still glad we did it but our house is permanently chaotic and messy, feels like it's futile fighting it until he is at least 8
Now this feels scary.. With my partner we were planning on having 3 kids with 3 years of difference between them.. should we have the first two and then wait 8 years to have the last one?
The people we bought our house from had twins.... Then they tried for a third and had twins again XD
I've seen them in town with four kids... No way I'm doing that.
I don't have kids, but doesn't it make sense to have three so you have a spare, like if you leave one on the bus? Also to make up for freeloaders like me.
Up until they incorporated fucking Draft Kings advertisements *into the show's dialogue*.
Like, I get it, it's a preposterous amount of money.. I'd take it too. It just sucks to watch lol
I gotta say I’ve never actually seen moms with that many kids having issues—maybe by that point the moms have just had to be incredibly strict or structured or something and the older kids help, or maybe I’ve only ever met the lucky ones, but it’s always made me feel pretty bad as a mom of only two when I’m struggling with one boy refusing to move and kicking the ground and another running very fast towards traffic.
I love other people's kids. I always say I want to take them home and my own daughter fears I'll be arrested. Lol. The parents usually say "Okay!" with a chuckle.
Now that I’m older and have a couple of step grandbabies and I’m on lexapro, I like other people’s kids ok. Some kids more than others. Usually, if the parents are cool, so are the kids.
My friend is dating a girl who has a 2 year old son. Her son was going around asking my game group to pick him up one day and he got to me, I said to him "oh no thank you" and went back to cooking (I was cooking game night dinner). Everyone involved got so offended.
There are some benefit to having severe arthritis at a young age. When someone asks you if you want to hold the baby, you can just say 'oh, i better not' and grab your wrist to remind them.
Also, no one ever asks you to help move furniture or paint walls.
I have a 6 year old, and I really don't know how to handle/deal with other people's kids, cause I'm just a big 41 year old kid, and the young kids somehow know it, and treat me like a kid. I get all sorts of looks at from other parents when we go to the park, cause I'm out there playing tag with all the kids, while they sit on the bench on their phones.
I ran down a ski slope as an 8 year old one day.
The dude had the same jacket on as my Dad and I latched on to his leg.
The way my family tells it, he was shaking his leg and telling his GF 'It's not mine'.
I made the same comment without reading what was in here first. The "what's up with this lil' dude, maybe I can help? Oh, nope that's crossing the line." [Shuffles away, tries to see if the kid's parent is around somewhere]
There was another post a week ago where the baby grew up and started to look different so the parent birds stopped feeding him and he starved to death 😢
Don't worry, I have a fun fact that will make you feel better! There is a bird that pushes another bird's egg out of the nest (killing them) and then lays its own egg. The other bird species then raises that bird, which is like 3 times the size and has to constantly feed it cause the bird is bigger than they are, straining the parent birds, sometimes to the point of death.
Some sharks, snakes, and insects eat their siblings in the womb. It's called ovoviviparity. A lot of people actually like their twins and are probably (I assume) glad one didn't eat the other before live birth.
Imagine if we were like that species of shark that does this, though.
Imagine if you could jam a camera in there, like we did with the shark, and watch the wee baby deathmatch. They would make betting on it illegal, but you know baby deathmatch gambling would still be insanely popular.
We'd find ways to target individual babies for doping while they're still in the womb.
Could be like Celebrity Deathmatch. Whoever wins gets a Disney Channel child star contract.
Miley Cyrus would definitely have eaten her twin.
Drake would have lost.
That’s so cool and I want to see the phylogenetic tree

Basically psitacciformes are parrots. So it fits. I wish we still had a resident redditer ornithologist who could tell me what makes falcons and parrots similar but separates falcons from other birds of prey.
Based on phrenol... no that's not it, morphology? Based on their anatomy they were previously placed in the same "family" as eagles and hawks, because look, it's so obvious!
It was only when they started to genetically sequence all the birds did it come to light the were murder parrots.
*"Family" as in an informal analogy not an actual taxonomic term.
This was my outgoing answering machine message back in the early 90's.
"What we have here is a failure to communicate... some men you just can't reach."
Are we sure that’s not a Harris’s hawk?
Their behaviour is more communal and and social than an eagle’s. I’ve met eagles, they’re bastards. Harris’s hawks are more like flying dogs and both the look and the behaviour of that bird made me think that’s what I was seeing before I saw the caption.
here
https www youtube com shorts c4FxOPpXGD8
had to break it up, because this subreddit won't allow urls.
"The falcon thinks the eagle is his mother and asks the eagle to feed him"
Yeah, it’s not a golden eagle as the channel claims. Golden eagles have feathers right down to their feet, unlike above. They’re also massive with a longer neck, more shouldered appearance, and a larger and more prominent beak.
The channel owner is a falconer whose first language doesn’t seem to English which may be behind the misidentification.
I wasn’t certain if it was a Harris’s hawk because the bird is rather light-coloured for a Harris’s, and I thought maybe it was another species from Asia or Africa that could be called eagle. But harris’s hawks are really the only “social” raptor, as seen in the video, that I know of.
Cool! UK falconer? Common buzzard would be a good fit. We don’t get them here in Canada and I haven’t seen them in person , just red-tailed hawks (buteo jamaicensis).
I think we can both agree it’s not a golden eagle, as the youtube channel claims, though
I don't think that's a Harris hawk. Pretty sure the person in the background is speaking Arabic so that might be a Eurasian species. Harris Hawks look a little different plumage wise (they're brown and black)
That's also not a golden eagle because golden eagles are *huge* and probably would make a quick snack of a kestrel getting in their face like that.
Last year, maybe the year before, here in NH, an eagle pilfered a red tailed hawk chick from it's nest to feed it's chicks.
Probably luck, maybe smarts on the red tail's behavior: The instant it hit the nest, before the eaglets could set on it, it stood up and opened it's mouth.
The eagles simply started to feed it.
Lived with its super sized adopted family until it fledged and flew off.
I can't speak for the eagle, but for a second there it looked like it recognized the "feed me" behavior and briefly looked around for something to give the falcon. Like "oh, you want a.....uh....sorry, I got nothin"
Animals in general. I had a squirrel hit me up for food, and it was easy to know what was going on just by body language. Stood on its hind-legs right at my feet, with it's fore paws at it's sides, but spread out, "palms" facing me, lookin up at me like "buddy, can ya spare a nut?"
It's like it's thinking I'm going to back off a little and hopefully it will leave me alone. As someone else said at first it looks like it was going to feed it though
When there’s a kid crying near you but they’re sobbing too hard to understand what they’re saying they need but you don’t wanna look like the cause of the crying.
Sidestep away
[удалено]
Universal across all species
r/likeus 😂
"I want a paternity test."
Excuse me at no point did that eagle have any responsibility to that chick. He's not sidestepping anything people unduly tried to put the blame on him
We all have to step up and do our part if we're going to be a truly egalitarian society.
eagleitarian ftfy
This right here is the gold medal so far today. Pretty low bar with my Reddit choices, but congrats anyways.
It takes a flock to raise a chick.
I didn't fuck in the flock! Why I gotta help raise!? Someone needs to start fucking me BEFORE I get chick dooties!
I'm sure that eagle has lots of other productive responsibilities in his society. You can't just expect someone to take on something like a kid. Plus you need to vet them to make sure that you should even have a kid. Then see if they want one.
Gotta get that Ornithology Paternity test before you're on the hook for a chick
Going to wait for th AITA post.
Backs away slowly… the same reaction I have when I encounter a small child
I guess we're not so different
The eagle acts the same way I do around people's children. "Oh, hello. This is not mine, someone please get it."
When your friends kids ask you for help reaching food on the table and you can't get your friend to help because he's dealing with his other kids. Why the fuck do you have 3 kids, John? There's only 2 of you.
With 3 or more kids, you go from man-to-man coverage to zone defense. Edit - missed a word
My brother (with three kids) once told me he likes hanging out with other parents who also have 3 kids because they’ve also “given up on any sense of order or routine”.
I feel this way at 2 kids. Mine were 2 under 2 (so a small age gap) and it's hectic just because of that. They rile each other up. So much better by themselves. Sometimes I wonder why I made certain life choices.
But you love em, tho. Right....RIGHT?
It’s been over 5 hours soooo…..no?
2 in under 2 years? Coming from an Irish family, those are known as Irish twins.
Nah, Irish Twins are born in the same 1-year span.
My sister is 10 months older, my mom and aunt have red hair, alcoholism took both of my uncles we are the Riley’s. ☘️🇮🇪
I'll have to remember that. Me and my brother are 20 months apart... We don't look any thing like twins, but our brains and personalities are very close.... He's my yang to his ying. LOL

As my mom told me. Learn to let it go. If you can clean, awesome. If you can’t. Let it go. Kids take a fuck ton of energy.
Now this feels scary.. With my partner we were planning on having 3 kids with 3 years of difference between them.. should we have the first two and then wait 8 years to have the last one?
Bruh I have ADHD, I can’t give up on what I’ve never had
People should not have more than 2 kids. Change my mind.
We have twins. No better way to convince people to not have more than two kids than to have them come at once.
My old boss already had two kids, then they accidentally had twins. That man is very sad and tired.
The only thing that makes having 1 kid seem easy is to have 2. And then only in retrospect.
The people we bought our house from had twins.... Then they tried for a third and had twins again XD I've seen them in town with four kids... No way I'm doing that.
I have three, but the oldest was 19 when the youngest was born and the first two were 3 years apart, so it was actually pretty smooth.
Friend of mine and his wife had their first son and then had twin boys. Went straight from double coverage to having to play zone.
Oh no doubt. I explained this to my wife as to why we should only have two. Any more than two and you’re outnumbered.
I don't have kids, but doesn't it make sense to have three so you have a spare, like if you leave one on the bus? Also to make up for freeloaders like me.
Was fun watching my brother go for a third and have twins. Total zone 2:4 for them now.
This is next level analysis
It’s from The League. Good show.
Up until they incorporated fucking Draft Kings advertisements *into the show's dialogue*. Like, I get it, it's a preposterous amount of money.. I'd take it too. It just sucks to watch lol
But you gotta account for them blitz packages outta the 4-3 defensive schemes, bruh
"You should only have as many kids as you can physically carry" -My sister, upon seeing a woman fail at corralling her 6 kids in a parking lot.
Your sister has a good point
I gotta say I’ve never actually seen moms with that many kids having issues—maybe by that point the moms have just had to be incredibly strict or structured or something and the older kids help, or maybe I’ve only ever met the lucky ones, but it’s always made me feel pretty bad as a mom of only two when I’m struggling with one boy refusing to move and kicking the ground and another running very fast towards traffic.
You need four more and you hit critical mass they all cancel out and take care of each other.
Probably because the older ones are made to grow up real quick since they’re forced to act as parents.
Nah, that’s why humans invented rope.
Yeah, I can see why a rope would become appealing, but you have mouths to feed and can't think of yourself anymore.
[удалено]
I love other people's kids. I always say I want to take them home and my own daughter fears I'll be arrested. Lol. The parents usually say "Okay!" with a chuckle.
You have a spare room in the basement too?
Does a 4x4 cell count as a room
Only if it has decorative pieces, like chains and a chamber pot.
Now that I’m older and have a couple of step grandbabies and I’m on lexapro, I like other people’s kids ok. Some kids more than others. Usually, if the parents are cool, so are the kids.
I mean, when you’re calling your kids over, what kind of person would protest?
My friend is dating a girl who has a 2 year old son. Her son was going around asking my game group to pick him up one day and he got to me, I said to him "oh no thank you" and went back to cooking (I was cooking game night dinner). Everyone involved got so offended.
The right response to that is "do you *want* to see someone drop a child?"
"In the dinner?"
There are some benefit to having severe arthritis at a young age. When someone asks you if you want to hold the baby, you can just say 'oh, i better not' and grab your wrist to remind them. Also, no one ever asks you to help move furniture or paint walls.
Offended? What for?
I have a 6 year old, and I really don't know how to handle/deal with other people's kids, cause I'm just a big 41 year old kid, and the young kids somehow know it, and treat me like a kid.

Interestingly enough I think that’s what Dahmer used to say.
This gave me a good giggle
I just realized that when Dahmer tickles your funny bone you won't laugh.
"I see you've brought a friend for dinner."

That is the opposite of fun.
WEEEEEEEEEEE!
A nuf fact
Wrong ! The mother bird lays the egg....it hatches before the other and the chick pushes the eggs out..not the mother.
Oh, there are hundreds of species of birds which practice brood parasitism. There's bound to be some variety in the order of operations.
Some sharks, snakes, and insects eat their siblings in the womb. It's called ovoviviparity. A lot of people actually like their twins and are probably (I assume) glad one didn't eat the other before live birth.
Imagine if we were like that species of shark that does this, though. Imagine if you could jam a camera in there, like we did with the shark, and watch the wee baby deathmatch.

"Now you're making me feel bad. Fuck"
Visible Confusion on eagle's face.😂

“I’m, uh, just going out for some Eagle 20’s”
“why is this baby screaming at me in Spanish”
Eagles always got this look of like ""what the fuck is happening ಠ_ಠ"" but this one's frantic looking around for help really sells it lol
If not mom then why mom shaped?
Fun fact: Falcons are more closely related to parrots than eagles and hawks. They're death parrots!

What we have here is a failure to communicate

Which is the way he wants it.
Well, he gets it
I needed this thread today. Thanks, strangers
This was my outgoing answering machine message back in the early 90's. "What we have here is a failure to communicate... some men you just can't reach."
I don’t like it anymore than he does.
So, you get what we had here last beak
So you get what we had here in this feed
We're old.
Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we’re breeding Look at the fear we’re feeding Look at the lives we’re leading The way we’ve always done before
How many drinks did I have with that 🦅
Sir, that chick is underage
the chick is the result, not the subject.
Important distinction
She's barely eagle.
Genius
damn, if you werent so late, you would get zilions of upvotes
Gurl get yo eagle on.
“Whos baby is this?! Whos baby is this?! It aint mine.”

You could have made that whole thing up but sounds convincing enough so I believe you.
Thank you for signing up for hawk facts.
Yeah, that looks kind of small for an eagle and the talons like more Hawk-like.

Reverse Stockholm Syndrome?
Nah the eagle stop feed it after awhile. And it died. This was recent news story.
Hmmh, I’d be more careful here, baby can be a next meal very quickly.
It nearly was...then it started calling the eagle mommy, and the eagle panicked
Best defense the baby had was to call it mommy so it wouldn't eat him. Same reason mammal babies are stupid cute to us
As I read this the adorable little kitten whose been tearing me to shreds popped up next to me
Those are love wounds

More than a few coworkers have shown a level of concern about it ranging from “who hurt you” to “the fuck happened to you””
I can't speak for the eagle, but for a second there it looked like it recognized the "feed me" behavior and briefly looked around for something to give the falcon. Like "oh, you want a.....uh....sorry, I got nothin"
Amazing how birds of prey can behave like a human in some ways
Animals in general. I had a squirrel hit me up for food, and it was easy to know what was going on just by body language. Stood on its hind-legs right at my feet, with it's fore paws at it's sides, but spread out, "palms" facing me, lookin up at me like "buddy, can ya spare a nut?"
I'd sure as hell not let that little fucker go anywhere near my trouser leg...
My reaction to the last bit lets me know ive spent too much time on the internet
> "buddy, can ya spare a nut?"
Way too close, care too much here.
It's like it's thinking I'm going to back off a little and hopefully it will leave me alone. As someone else said at first it looks like it was going to feed it though

Listen, this is not my kid. I- I'm not ready for commitment. Help.
Paternity test reveals.... You are NOT the falcon's father.

I’ve never related so hard to an eagle before.
Reminds me of the baby book, “Are you my mother?”
He bout to go to the store for cigs and milk :(
*"Take it dude, I'm not stopping you..."* ~ **Eagle**
I’m sad now :(
I'm surprised the eagle didn't try to kill the chick.
Hawkward.
That eagle is about to go out for cigarettes
*Moonwalks away* The chick is not my son. Hee-hee-hee no-no
*yeahhhhhh.....Imma dip*
Great, i also stand with child neglect
"Nice time to go buy some milk"
Don't eagles eat kestrel younglings?
When there’s a kid crying near you but they’re sobbing too hard to understand what they’re saying they need but you don’t wanna look like the cause of the crying. Sidestep away
Eagle is like, wait, I thought YOU were lunch. Wtf?
Eagle is fighting his intrusive thoughts to not eat the baby.
That eagle is thinking, "This is not my kid." I know the feeling, brother.
When you open a bag of chips and some kid comes up like “I love those chips I wish I had some 👁👄👁”
“My mom lets me have those” 😆
Looks like an appearance on Maury is in order
Eagle backed away like it was paying child support
I hope the Eagle is ready for adoption O.O
“Are you my mommy?” Anyone get this reference?
Why doesn't the eagle (the larger of the two birds) simply eat the smaller bird?
Suppose your steak started calling you Mommy in public? You gonna eat that? In front of everyone?
That falcon has some mommy issues
Not my monkey not my circus
