Wildlife videographer Matt Brierly captured two elephants eating bird nests containing live chicks and eggs.<br /><br />It is thought that elephants only eat vegetation.<br /><br />The clip, captured on February 28 in Kenya, shows two elephants catching weaver bird nests on the branches of a tree with their trunk and taking them to the mouth.<br /><br />The filmer writes: ''The jury is still out on how accidental the consumption was, but an elephant certainly needs lots of salts, and lots of calcium for their tusks and constantly eroding teeth. <br /><br />''The weaver bird nests would contain both salts and calcium, all wrapped up in a tasty sun-dried hay bundle.<br /><br />''The weaver bird chicks that leapt from nests plucked by the elephants quickly scrambled to higher ground and were found by their parents.''
