7. Yeah, and one of the eagle cams this year

featured a mother eagle feeding a house cat to her young. Mother Nature can be pretty cruel, especially to people raised on Disney.

It's not unusual for a younger hatchling to be pushed out of the nest. It's how the elder manages to ensure enough food so that s/he will fledge and then fly, something that is generally not the case if both live. These are not human children and their rules are different.

It's amazing how many people try to anthropomorphize these creatures.
