Parenting skills of Barnacle Goose chicks

[summerdays]

Would it not be more sensible to lay your eggs part way down the cliff?

What is good for the goose is good for the ............... getting your children to launch themselves off a cliff and crash, bang, wallop, bounce and rebound to the bottom.

I think the Praying Mantis is a little lacking too since they will eat anything thing including themselves!

And then a Fox comes along and eats the chicks !

great filming and wow what a start to life

Or wait until the chick learnt to fly and then they can launch themselves?

A few decades ago all living creatures had very safe environments where they copulated > raised their offspring. Then David Bloody Attenborough came along and started interfering and getting his crew to change the environments to make them more "interesting" for TV - they still run around the world moving stuff just to film it. None of the Attenborough stuff is real.
