In a movie-like twist of fate, a predator falls in love with its prey and adopts it into the family instead.
This is what happened in the wilderness of Nanaimo, BC. A pair of bald eagles had earlier snatched a baby red hawk to devour. However, instead of eating the little birdie, they ended up taking care of it alongside their own eaglet.
The rare and heartwarming scene unfolds during a livestream of the eagle family’s nest. The mama eagle is seen dropping the poor little red hawk onto their nest. Remarkably, neither the adult eagles nor their eaglet attack the chick, they just leave it alone. However, by nightfall the mama eagle’s warmed up to the chick. She can be seen feeding and fussing over the two baby birds equally. They may not be of the same feather, but they become a flock anyway!
