Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Siblicide

We golden eagles, she and he,

Again became a mom and dad

High up in our cliff side eyrie,

Where two new hatchlings now be had.

A healthy daughter did hatch first.

We of course began feeding her.

Two days later from an egg burst

A son, then tension did occur.

The daughter began to bill jab

The neck area of the son,

Until their came a fatal stab.

This behavior is often done.

As parents we accept this fact,

In eagles, the "Cainism" act.
