"Broods of Birds" digital wallpaper (Patreon)

These digital wallpapers come to you from our lesson, Would you raise the bird that murdered your children? by Steve Rothstein with animation by Mauricio Bueno and Lucy Animation Studio.

In this lesson, a mother honeyguide has placed its chick into a bee-eater’s nest— puncturing all the other eggs in the nest and leaving only its own hatching alive. Over the following weeks, the host parents devotedly care for the hatchling whose mother murdered their offspring. This is brood parasitism, a phenomenon which is especially well-known among birds. Steve Rothstein digs into the evolutionary strategy with this haunting animation.

We hope you enjoy these desktop & phone wallpapers!
