Heroic Bird in Boulder protects bird eggs in epic video
Yesterday, footage showed nature at its very best. Here, a heroic bird managed to protect its eggs while large hail stones pelted its nest. Here, the bird stoically covered her entire flock while simultaneously getting hit with the stones due to her bravery. Undoubtedly, this wouldn’t have been a particularly enjoyable experience for the bird but it continued to defend the eggs regardless.
Now, we may be overthinking things, but toward the end of the video you can really see the steely look of determination in its eyes. When the storm subsides, the Osprey moves away to inspect her babies and thankfully, the eggs are still in good condition. In terms of parenting, this was a case of a job well done.
According to sources, the three eggs also hatched later and are now healthy, thriving chicks – so this story definitely has a wholesome, enjoyable ending.
For several weeks now, Colorado has undergone some pretty epic hailstorms. In fact, one storm in Colorado Springs even broke the windows of a car due to the sheer size and force of the hail stones. This shows just how protective and determined the Osprey was to defend her offspring. On a final note, this also serves as a good example for humans when it comes to parenting – and some people could definitely take note and learn a few things!
