The eagles Parham photographed no doubt brought the Red-tail to their nest intending not to raise it, but to feed it to their own nestling. However, when it was deposited into the aerie, the hungry and disoriented fledgling immediately began begging for food alongside the eaglets. The confused parent eagles mistook the hawk as one of their own and began treating it in kind. Though surprising, such behavior can occur when the wrong species ends up in a nest. That’s because most adult birds cannot recognize their own chicks from others—a vulnerability that brood parasites exploit by laying eggs in other species’ nests.
Explains why tv and whatever keeps trying to push the narrative that the Red tailed hawk sound is from an eagle.
Much like the MGM lion having a tiger roar, or coconuts for horse hooves...
Dang media executives making foley artists look bad!
No wonder these birds are so confused.
Where'd you get the coconuts?
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?!
Migratory swallows
Maybe 2 could do it together using a strand of creeper...
