Baby bird had two heads, three beaks

Not all that unusual at all.

The mother threw it out of the nest because it was deformed.

All you guys have never been to the old time fairs with the freak shows have you?

People are getting SO ignorant of the real world

It is called a birth defect and was from a problem with a double yoke egg which are very common

Yes she did. And you are ignorant to presume. Or do you prefer to keep your head in the sand like so many from your country?

Deformities and infirmities are seen from periodically and they typically do not survive the winter a sad fact, and in spite of all attempts to provide food and water many most shun all of your best intentions.

Mother birds tend to raise whatever hatches from eggs in her nest which is why starlings survive as they are a parasitic bird and do not raise their young instead they lay their eggs in other birds nests and while some reject the intruder most do not.

If the woman feeds the birds more than likely, it will continue to stay in the area however, I have never been lucky enough to have a Northern Cardinal eat from my hand however, Black-capped Chickadees and Tufted Titmice are far more friendly and trusting.

It's called witch brooming and it is a mutation from radionuclides.

I raise chickens and even double yolks do not do this!

Double yolk chicks stay separated, they usually die during hatching because they are too crowded, one chick will accidentally tear the air membrane in the shell and cause them both to drown in the egg fluids.
Siamese twins in nature are exceedingly rare in ALL species.
3 beaks on 2 heads is WITCH BROOMING!

Unfortunately lots of sheep won't believe this until their grandkids and great grandkids are born with 2 heads, 4 faces , 8 noses, 16 arms and legs and 48 fingers and toes.

Witch brooming always in most cases multiplies the smaller appendages more times.

That was interesting. I did not know starlings did that. Thanks for that info Silverpatriot.

Always in most cases

You have less than a fucking clue what you are talking about.

Take one of your fertile double yoke eggs and shake it a good amount before the embryos start and put it back in the nest or incubator and tell me what hatches you dipshit.

It is called parasitic twinning

I have seen starlings at work nesting in the same spot every year and they are the hardest working birds for their young that I ve seen. They raise their own and both parents care for the eggs and non stop feeding once hatched

Your petty arguments are just that - petty. this is an unusual event and deserves notice. only time will tell if there becomes a growing trend of this, and that will only be detected sooner the more people document.

thanks for the post OP.

You people really need to get out more

Seriously

You are so far removed from reality it is sickening

And yet you feel the need to be here in this forum with us, just to tell us this. Wow!

How ever would we have gone through life without your incredibly valuable insight ac?

Thank you so much for educating our intellects with your brilliant insight.

Sarcastic enough for you to get it? Or should I add more?

Don't have anything useful to add to the conversation but Ad Homien attacks, then don't bother posting on the thread. Plenty of others in the forum.

Monsanto?

Hmm, did anyone read the article? Adults and baby birds were gone from the nest. The lady didn't feed it, it left, somewhere.

Could be. Could be a naturally occurring defect. OR could be from radiation effects.
Certainly it is something we need to keep an eye and an ear out on, for more reports of similar. Imo anyway.

not new, not necessarily fatal, surely strange.

Conjoined twins have nothing to do with deformed birds with two heads and three beaks. Except to say that it is a deformity certainly, and one has to feel compassion for the girls.

Yes they do but you stubbornly refuse to actually do any research to find that out.

RADIATION!!!!!! EARTH CHANGES!!!!!!! NIBIRU COMING!!!!!

You're cute

And SO DUMB

exactly.

ya fucking moron

So you agree with my moronic presentation of fact

Aw a baby troll... you are sooo cute. Can I keep you and play with you from time to time?

My apologies for my error it is the Brown Cowbird that are parasitic while starlings are an invasive species and take over homes built by woodpeckers.
