Unpleasant as it sounds, this can happen. A mother bird looking after young is often at the limit of her resources and may need to do this to survive and look after the remaining chicks. Of course some types of bird naturally eat the young of other species.
Baby birds will eat what the mother bird brings. Some of the mother bird's offerings may be grubs, worms or beetles.
The one they are feeding is most likely the offspring(baby) of the bird. This is the way baby birds eat when they are little and it takes a while for them to learn to eat on their own.
most of them eat birds or bugs and dead things there really just scavengers!
Baby black races eat insects, mice, and other rodents. They also eat birds and bird eggs in the wild.
i think chipmunks eat them because Samantha said they do
It depends if the mother taught them, most baby birds die without their mother cause they haven't been taught to get food so the mother feeds them till they learn at a certain age. Most birds eat worms.

Some baby birds (robins) eat worms, but to some birds, worms are VERY toxic!
baby birds eat worms and other things that the mom ate but only a mother can digest it into the baby birds mouth. DO NOT GIVE IT MILK OR BREAD BOTH ARE USELESS AND BIRDS CAN NOT DIGEST MILK! Call a bird rescue ASAP so you can save it if you found it and DON'T PICK IT UP
Like any other bird they eat regurgitated food from their mother ( vomit) and they eat as much as the mother decides to give them and as much as she can give up

Yes a dormouse will eat a bee, but normally only dead bees or insects that are found on the ground. They will also eat eggs and baby birds on occasion.
YES! In the wild, when an rat or mouse dies, the mother eats them because the scent will attract predators...So the mother eats it to protect the family/group from predators...Remove the dead baby mouse because otherwise the mother will eat it and there is no telling what that could do to the mother...
No a jelly does not eat its mother
as an omnivore, they will eat anything they can get to when hungry. If baby birds are where the skunk can get them, yes.
they eat birds ,small baby birds,eggs, rodent,rabbit,and a hare
Crocodile Birds eat the remains of what Crocodiles kill and eat (for example, the meat of a dead animal).
