Frantic mother ducks can't stop the bird that's eating their ducklings for food from hunting prey

Rarely seen avian predator behaviour. Mother ducks attack a bird-eating duckling. These ducks are aquatic birds that live in freshwater; they don't have predatory instincts and don't hunt, but they will eat small marine animals, plants, and insects. A female duck is called a hen, and a male duck is called a drake; a duckling is a baby duck without flight feathers. Gulls, or seagulls, are predatory seabirds and opportunistic meat-eating predators that hunt and eat various baby birds throughout the breeding seasons. A gull is a very successful hunter of small baby ducks because they are easy to catch, and they are subsequently a big part of a gull's seasonal diet. The bird at the end is a heron and has also been captured. It eats a substantial number of young ducks because it is the duck breeding season, and they are easy to hunt. Many young flightless ducks are swimming around looking for food, and they are easy to catch and eat because they can't fly away, which is why predatory birds hunt them. Flightless young ducks are prey for various predators and predatory birds.
