​​Olā redzama t.s. "D" stadijas bukte - plašs un neregulāras formas atvērums. Mazuļa šķilšanās ir sagaidāma tuvākajās stundās, domāju, ka šodien / Chick will hatch today!

Klinšu ērgļu pārim Spilvei un Grīslim izšķīlies ērglēns / Golden eagle pair, Spilve and Grīslis, have a hatched eaglet.
On May 6, the golden eagles Spilve and Grīslis have a hatched baby eagle. The hatching began at 1:53 p.m., when a wide crack appeared in the egg. A few minutes later, the eaglet had already hatched and the female ate the egg shell.

Watching golden eagle nesting live is a unique opportunity - we invite you to take advantage of it!

Chick #1 is killing chick #2.

Hello Susanne, everyone

I also checked the stream today to find out about the current situation. I was just on point, so to speak.
I've never seen so much brutality. Chick 2 is like being in a frenzy...
It won't let go of the smaller chick.

I've hidden the pictures.

Despite the cruelty, hopefully a strong young golden eagle will be able to carry on its species.
They are beautiful and, unfortunately, very endangered...

To understand without blaming.

Der Kainismus ist genetisch bedingt und erfolgt unabhängig vom Ernährungszustand. Seine Gründe sind bis heute nicht abschließend geklärt. Es könnte sein, dass das Zweitgeborene von der Natur als eine Art Reproduktionsreserve für besonders nahrungsreiche Jahre vorgesehen ist, denn in seltenen Fällen bleibt der Aggressionstrieb des „Kain“ aus und beide Küken werden von ihren Eltern aufgezogen

GT

Cainism is genetically determined and occurs independently of nutritional status. Its causes have not yet been conclusively clarified. It may be that the second-born is intended by nature as a kind of reproductive reserve for particularly nutritious years, because in rare cases, the aggressive drive of the "Cain" is absent, and both chicks are raised by their parents.
