Sherrie's video: SWFL Eagles E17 attacked Harriet biting and shaking her head feathers E18 too afraid to eat

@SWFL Eagles E17 attacked Harriet biting and shaking her head feathers. E18 too afraid to eat.
Today was the first full day the eaglets were re-nested. M15 and Harriet immediately got to their parenting duties with M15 providing food. E 17 won't allow E18 to eat at all. It can only get fed when 17 is sleeping. M15 did give 18 a private feeding earlier in the day and it took 18 awhile to not be afraid and accept the food M was providing. When 17 is awake, it attacks 18 just for moving around. It is so distressing to see. E17 was sleeping and Harriet tried to feed 18, but 18 would not accept the food it was too afraid. You can tell it wanted to accept it but didn't and moved away. 17 awoke when Harriet was trying to feed 18 and so Harriet immediately offers 17 the food. The camera has part of Harriet's head cut off during this portion but I have also included the 360 degree camera footage in this part. Harriet drops the food it tried offering 17 and 17 attack Harriet's head feathers, shaking them and did it a few times. Again the camera was too close to get all the action but you can see how Harriet steps away after getting the food. Eaglets are known to bonk and have sibling rivalry at this young age but I have to say 17 takes it a step further. It really is upsetting to see such aggressive attacks by 17. I know in the animal world it is survivable of the fittest and this is a normal situation over all, but it is still very hard to watch.
