Mother's Love & Sacrifice: Bird Makes Sure Her Chicks Stay Safe From Snake, Sacrifices Her Life
A recent video shared by IFS Sudha Ramen proves that even animal mother¡¯s go to lengths and even sacrifice themselves in order to protect their young ones.
There are umpteen examples of animals¡¯ motherly instincts kicking in when they see their young ones in danger. A recent video shared by IFS Sudha Ramen proves that even animals can go to extreme lengths and sacrifice their lives in order to protect their young ones.
The video of a mother bird fighting a snake till her young babies were out of danger and then sacrificing her own life is going viral.
Twitter
The time and location of the video are not known, but it shows a snake, possibly a python, slithering into a small hole a mother bird and her chicks had made home.
The mother immediately senses danger and wildly flaps her wings in order to get all the young ones out of the hole so the snake wouldn't harm them. However, by the time the last chick hurries out of the hole, it is too late for the mother bird.
