We started the day with five chicks and at the time of writing we ended the day with five chicks so that's somewhat of a relief. The day was not without drama though. Unfortunately, a magpie has taken an interest in the nest box and was probably looking to snack on our chicks. As you'll see in the video (6:37) it gave them a hell of a fright. The hole is too small for a large bird such as a magpie and some of you may remember that it has a piece of metal protecting the hole so that bigger birds cannot peck their way in.
There's been a selection of insects brought in today and the parents seem to think that the chicks are ready for bigger food if their choices are anything to go by. Some of these are a bit on the too large side though.
More tomorrow...

Eggs and nestlings make up a tiny portion of a magpies overall diet and according to studies, their mobbing and chasing of larger predators like Merlin's and Hawks actually helps the songbird population more than they hurt them.

She was trembling with every bit of the scratching noise, there was nothing defensive there except fear in just her trembling movements. That was truly terrifying for her.

Безмерно зауважала этих птиц, когда нашла маленьких птенцов и попыталась их спасти, кормить каждые 15 минут, обогревать и т.д. к сожалению они погибли, было слишком поздно, но этот опыт,хоть и очень грустный, я запомню надолго, и теперь понимаю сколько сил птицы вкладывают каждый день, я их очень люблю и стараюсь покормить, особенно зимой

That wasn't a Magpie, the beak was to big and curved, magpie's has a smaller beak which is strait plus the feet was to robust, this was a crow/raven!

I find it interesting how they manage the babie's poop. Its something thats easily forgotten, but if you think about it, evolution and instinct had to figure out baby waste management in animals that have nesrs or burroughs to raise their babies in. Its why cat and puppie babies need stimulation to poop. And here with birds, it seems, they poop in a specific way and their poop has a consistency that allows that parent to grab it and take it out of the nest. Disgusting? Maybe. Interesting? Definitely!

@6:43 • 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The mother bird (or father bird) buried their head so deep into the nest when that big beak popped in. But the blind babies kept screaming for food... I was like, "dang, be quiet." 🤣🤣🤣 Glad they were safe thanks to this wooden structure they built their nest in.

That nest box, it is really good that hole is only so big, if it was a simple nest of sticks and twigs, it would have been ruined. Good job on the house and the camera setup, it is really cool to see the parent birds come and go and all the little mouths waiting.
