That's "Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection" in action.
The inferior (disadvantaged, or not as intelligent) members of the same species would gradually die out, leaving only the superior (advantaged or more intelligent) members of the species. Natural selection is the preservation of a functional advantage that enables a species to compete better in the wild.

What I would like to know, is how a film like that could be made. Would this camera have a very powerful telescopic lens or would it be on a timer?
That very end shot with the squirrel looking out the hole and the bird looking in is amazing.

very smart photographer too!

I am only guessing here but some of it is probably taken in parts and put together as a movie.

Squirrels always have their heads on a swivel and for good reason. :hehe

One of the cameras they probably used was a, GoPro (e.g., the squirrel's nest and the tree cavity at the end).
