While it may seem strange to us, birds eating their baby's poop sacks is actually a natural behaviour that serves an important purpose.
In many bird species, baby birds produce a membrane around their feces called a fecal sac. This sac helps keep the nest clean and prevents predators from being attracted to the scent of feces.
The adult birds will usually remove the fecal sacs from the nest, either by carrying them away or consuming them. Eating the fecal sacs is actually beneficial for the adult birds, as they contain nutrients and minerals that are still useful. Additionally, by consuming the fecal sacs, the adult birds help keep the nest clean and prevent the spread of disease.
So, while it may seem strange or gross to us, eating their baby's poop sacks is actually an important and natural behaviour for many bird species.
