Thank you so much for sharing this - we have a nest with I think about 5 day old chicks, but we cannot observe much so to see this detail of the hatching to raising is pretty awesome to see 'up close'!
I have a mailbox that I put fake flowers in to decorate my front porch and noticed this bird that has been hanging out on it for weeks now, and even noticed the bird guarding the mailbox at night, and I was like this is weird , Well I noticed that a nest was popping out amongst all the flowers and I pointed my Camera over the Box at a high range and took a picture to see what was inside , and Wow how amazing I see 4 beautiful Blue eggs , I am honored , I live in a House that only has a front door , I don't have a back door, otherwise I would not open my front door at all and let them be . but We only have the front door, I have told my family to be super quiet going in and out and not to disturb that part of the porch. Its beautiful, Spring is such a beautiful time .
I have a robins nest in the hibiscus tree in my deck- momma Bird laid a total of 4 eggs- the last one just hatched the other day. I can look into the nest and see them with their mouths open. I feel honored they chose my tree and my kids are learning from this experience too!!!
Thank you for these beautiful videos that allow us to experience this up close and personal. We've hosted 5 broods in the last 3 years and we steal peeks here and there but don't want to get to close. Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Aw I loved watching this, it’s already cold and snow where I am so it’s a nice reminder of summer. I have robins that nest in my vines for the past 6 years. I don’t know if they’re the same ones or the babies of some of the previous ones but it’s awesome to have them come back to the same spot every year. This year the ones nesting there raised 2 sets of chicks and I think all 6 of them lived. Its weird that they never use the same nest twice, they always build a fresh one for each batch.
This is a beautiful video...thank you for taking the time to record this. I loved watching it. I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and have lived in this flat for three years this month. Not long ago, for the first time since living here, we discovered that a robin had built a nest right outside our hallway window. She finished laying her eggs 12 days ago and the first egg hatched today--I had the good fortune of catching the mother feeding her first hatched baby about an hour ago! I'm a bit worried because we are only two blocks from a very large, wooded city park; lots of hawks, raccoons, and opossum all around us. Hoping all goes well for the robins, but also preparing for the idea that sometimes nature can be sad for us humans.
How did the season go last year for your robin nest? Humans reflect safety for many song birds- we deter predators often. I hope they made it!!! @ggeemmiinnii
we had a nest with 3 eggs. saw them perched up on the edge of the nest one Sunday as we were heading out. came back later and they were gone. we were sad to miss them flying off for the first time but our neighbors had a nest with 4 birds that we just saw leave the nest tonight. we sat and waited for an hour before the first one flew off. it was amazing
They built a nest in a tree right outside my window! Looking forward to watching them hatch & grow. There's only 1 egg though instead of 3...maybe she's not finished laying?
They lay 1 egg a day and they normally have more than 1 baby. I read the mom stops laying eggs when she feels like the nest is full. We have a nest of 4 eggs under the neighbor’s deck. Really wanna install a camera there but I’m scared to ask the neighbor’s permission (she doesn’t like birds and I’m scared she might wanna remove the nest if I told her about it 😢)
I live in York County, Pennsylvania. The Robins never came in this year. Used to be in the spring they would fly in together and you would see hundreds in one place. Never happened this year. In the fall they group together to fly south, never happened this year. About 6 years ago I found one in the back yard that was sick and blind with mucus around it's eyes. Something is going on and no one is saying anything about it. Where are the Robins?
The nest was in a cedar about 7 feet high 5 feet from the ground. At least 1 hour a day I approached the nest quietly and set up my camera on a tripod. The parents saw me but didn't seem bothered because I was quiet without noise.
I love this! Did they build that nest or did you? Curious because i know robins don’t care for enclosed nest boxes, I wondered if I could fashion something to be used
@@MarcAndreBlais Hi Marc-Andre. I have four day old hatchlings and live in Colorado. We are forecast to get a late Winter storm with up to 8 inches. This is very late for us. The nest is under our upstairs deck. Do you think these vulnerable chicks can survive this?
All over my yard. I hear them all day. Urban sounds are part of wild life, these birds take advantage of humans. Unlike the red wing black bird that seems to avoid.
i just winged a american robin,,,may 18th racoon got into the nest,,got 2 chicks i got lhe last 1 out the nest ,feed it, slept withme in a hat i put next to my head in bed ,brung it out every day wed 25 brung it to the bird bath and thats when she flew,,,,,i was happy and sad at the same time,,,i even cried ,never knew a robin can capture my heart,,,,,im in the yard all the time and i know she is here,love shering my story with you,by the way i found the raccoon and its no longer around,,,,,,no i did not kill it ,,,i relocated it to a statepark
There's are 4 eggs in a nest under my deck and tomorrow the temperature will be freezing, I know it sounds crazy buy it's the Midwest, how could I help prevent hypothermia in some way? Any advice would be appreciated!
Our four day old chicks are getting a winter storm and 8 inches forecast. Mine are under the deck as well. How did yours do? We've got 4 as well and the parents are just phenomenal. I think i'll cover the deck for sure and make sure to clear the yard so they can access the ground for food.
I've got a nest on the front porch, mom has been there pretty frequently the last couple weeks. I'm set up a camera in front of the nest to watch. 3 eggs. Now she hasn't been coming to the nest a night. Idk what's going on. Idk if there's too much human activity around, but she just doesn't come at night, only during the day. What are the odds that the eggs are still viable and still will hatch? I try to stay away as much as I can but you have to walk by it coming and going. Any help and advice is appreciated. I hope to see the babies hatch and eventually fly off but I'm worried.
@@MarcAndreBlais well, it's been nearly 3 weeks and the eggs haven't hatched yet, but mom still sticks around. Just figured that they would of hatched by now.
Bonjour Marc-André Je viens de m'apercevoir qu'un couple de merles d'Amérique avait construit un nid sur une marche sur l'escalier à l'arrière de mon logement. N'ayant pas vu de merles pendant un certains nombres de jours, j'ai décidé de retirer le nid. Quelques jours plus tard, j'ai découvert un oeuf bleu à l'endroit précis où avait été construit le nid, directement sur la marche. Aucun merle de couvait cet oeuf, le temps était froid et pluvieux. J'ai pu récupérer le nid (que j'avais mis dans le bac brun, mais qui n'avait pas encore été ramassé par la ville) et j'y ai mis l'oeuf dedans. Ma question. Combien de temps un oeuf fécondé mais non couvé peut-il survivre. Est-ce que les merles vont revenir pondre à cet endroit ? (je ne pense pas que ce soit un lieu très sécuritaire, ni pour les adultes et encore moins pour les petits avec tous les chats trainant dans le quartier). Merci d'avance.
Ça me surprend sur une marche effectivement. Malheureusement je ne suis pas tant connaisseur. J'ai peu d'espoir pour la vie futur dans l'oeuf. Il me semble que les parents couvent à temps plein les oeufs en alternance dans le nid.
@@MarcAndreBlais Merci. Je vais suivre l'évolution de l'activité autour de mon nid. Mettons que j'apprends à la dure. Je me suis pourtant surpris à voir que la nature avait élue domicile chez moi... de simples abreuvoirs à colibris et on dirait que les autres oiseau comprennent que je suis un amoureux de la nature 🙂
I have a robins nest on my balcony and for the longest time I didn't know what the white stuff was the mom and dad were eating from the nest, and then I googled it lol 💩
Thrushes just eat the baby's poop no matter how old it is. Normally most passerine birds will just eat it for the first 6-7 days while the baby's digestive system isn't developed enough yet, so there's still food leftover after they eat it. Then, after the first week or so, their digestive system starts working properly and, so after one week old, the poop is all waste so the parents will mostly just take it and carry it away from the nest to keep it clean and prevent predators from smelling it. However, thrushes of all kinds don't care even if the chicks are 2 weeks old and fully grown, they'll still eat it for some reason. Makes their family name, Turdus, make a bit of sense lol.
I just had 3 babies in my yard, and my cats found them. I tried to save 1 by putting it back in the nest, but I think it was too hurt to live. The next day it was on the ground, so I put it back in the nest. Later that day it was dead! I love my cats, but hate them when they kill birds. The mice I don't mind!
Min 14:00 birds can life on the ground, I stopped my dog from soft mouthing a chick, then my dad said don't you dare thats my dog and she can do whatever she wants, then The bird got picked up again, and chomped to DEATH. Old people are mean.
It's not America Robin it's call worldwide Robin due to they everywhere in Thailand's, Laos Maylasia, Indians asian China,Mangoli, Russian Taiwan Taiwanes, African, European 🏰 everywhere.... Straight from frogtown Minnesota USA..
