Amazing cute video.Feel so pitiful for these helpless creatures.Even though we enjoy their innocent lives yet y so cruelly snatch away their trees for our selfish ends.
Beautiful video. Lovely. I had this bird as my pet many years ago. Very loving and beautiful. Was used to sit beside my pillow and sing lovely songs ...
Beautifully captured and very well explained each and every move as if the bulbul parents are explaining their life after baby.. So sweet, I really enjoyed watching it.. 😍😘
The same happened in our home too. Ditto. 3 eggs bit only 2 Chicks were there at the end. And today only they flown away. Really a nice experience to.watch a life in the making 😊
I like your way of story telling. Very nicely captured and edited too and your captions fitted so well. I loved the sight of 2:31 and 4:06 and images of proud Mother and Father :) Thanks for sharing New Life with us all.
I too had chance to see the same kind of bulbul nest in our corridor I too was attacked when the chicks had hatched. You done a nice complete video 👍👍👍
Beautiful video 😊 since lockdown started my gym bag is in balcony from 4 months and I started hearing bird sound from couple of days. Yesterday went to balcony to get dried clothes n saw bulbul nesting inside my gym bag 😊
Very same thing happened with me. It's important to note that once they left nest, they don't come back to nest. I felt sad that they didn't come back. I kept watch on them. They were moving here and there but don't come back. Second time they gave birth to 3 babies, but they abandoned 1 baby. I tried to make catch their attention to that 1 baby. But parents didn't care and finally that 1 died. I tried to survive it by providing food but that didn't survive.
We too have a bulbul family in our hse...they lay eggs twice a year n their presence makes us happy :) but today my sis tried to shoo it away n now I am hoping that they won't leave :(
Little bulbul babies... Bulbuls made a nest in the plant in my room.They actually trusted us.. We even touched little babies in front of parents earlier but now we could not enter the area. Parents are coming to charge on us. I was a bit afraid about the change in their behaviour. But after this video I get to know that it is their common behaviour at around this time of baby's growth. At first 3 babies were present. After 2 days we found only 2.
Our baby bulbul was the weaker one among three siblings and was found in cellar after its first flight. Hope other two made it safe. Now, bulbul is 15 days old and staying with us. Our 10 yr old son takes good care of him. He is falling short of hunting bugs, worms for the chick.. we feed him boiled egg, fruits, chicken, honey, bread. Any advise please if we could add variety to his diet?
god bless u dears i had these cuties building their nests at the small tree beside my house it was soo adorable but one day the 2 eggs were eaten by a **** snake and the bulbuls cried calling other black robins ,humming birds , bulbuls and after sometime all of them went away i was soo sad they have been successful to raise their chicks at my 3 friends home but not mine still they always wander around my home singing cute songs both at dawn and dusk i really adore these small birds
Amazing!! our first 2 chick flew away by day 10 already but 3rd chick which I felt malnourished cant fly yet was abandoned (I thought), but momma bird comes inside our bird every day to check it and try to make him fly, now its day 15 already tonight she came late night inside made a fuss, I think it misses the baby so badly but its helpless cause the chick cant fly no matter how hard it tries : (
@@Fstopro so true, what's bothering me most is it doesn't respond to it's parents and stay silent and when humans come near it then asks for food, when I release it back to wild is when real problem that is question of its survival.
@@tom-xs5pm yes it won't survive in the wild, it will be a matter of minutes before a big bird makes it a meal. If possible you adopt it and take care of it 🙂
@@Fstopro it'll become meal for our naughty cats, my only option is make it flight ready, bring out it's bird instincts, make him forget humans and reunite with parent birds cause they're still visiting him every single day, so I have hope😃
Very very nice video..I had a baby bulbul for 3 months but it expired last Sunday due to an injury ... only I know how much pain I am feeling now and i don't understand how to recover from this situation...He became like a child for me..feeding all day, taking care of everything I did but he left me ..😔😔😔
I wish I saw this vdo 2 months ago. I found a bulbul chick (probably aged 10 days if matches this vdo). I gained attention of the parents and kept the chick on the balcony. Parents came in turn and fed the chick. Tried to take it out, but it couldn't fly then, only small jumps. For the next three/four days it kept jumping higher and higher and one day it jumped and took a short flight to the grill. I felt it wasn't good enough and if it falls down then it'll be eaten by the cats below. Also it was raining heavily for some days and there was flood water around. So I tied a knot on its leg out of its safety concerns. Now I understand, it was a big mistake. It's still with us. The parents fed for about 1.5 weeks more. Then stopped feeding but still visited. Then slowly stopped coming. I still see them sometimes around. It probably has one sibling that I saw few days back. I trained it to fly. It can fly if it wants. Today it learned to self feed. I want to release it soon. But, It grew on me, basically became my child and I really love it now. I don't know if I can gain the strength to let it go in the wild knowing it probably won't survive. It didn't learn wild survival techniques. I don't know what I'll do. ☹️
It was good to read your experience. I would say, at this point, pls take care of it as your pet as long as it lives. As you said, without initial teachings by its parents, it won't survive in the wild.
Did you breeding this red whiskered bulbul inside the aviary ? How many time did this red whiskered bulbul lay eggs? what month red whiskered bulbul lay eggs?
There was same bulbul nest in my house...after 9 to 10 days...one night the parents weren't back at the nest for full night I don't know why but I guess they were afraid to he inside house at night...next morning they returned and made me very happy but suddenly that day they were very very aggressive...stopping me to make video....that day the cute kids learned to fly from our balcony and flew to my gardens Yellow Elder tree by evening....it was really very sad.
There were three bulbul chicks in my house. One day the one of them fell down and we put the chick in the nest in front of the mother bird. After 10 min she pushed a chick again but fortunately it was on a cloth, not on the floor. I kept that chick for one day and next day when mother bird was not there I kept it in the nest. When I was keeping the chick in the nest I noticed that there were only one chick , second chick was missing. Now there were two chicks in the nest. Next day I found dead body of the chick( who was missing) on the roof. I was surprised because chick was too small to fly. So this time when I put the fallen chick in the nest ,mother bird accepted it. After 3-4 day both chicks started learning how to fly. I was very carefull that any crow or kite or cat didn't eat them. Mother bird was very comfortable even when I took both chicks in my hand in front of them. Generally bird are very aggressive when they teaches their chicks how to fly. Mother bird and other 4 bulbul birds were teaching both chicks how to fly. But after some minutes I saw only one chick with them. I searched everywhere but didnot find the chick.perhaps that one flew in another direction because there were no cat or crow near the floor. I hope the lost chick got reunited with her mom! I saw the one chick learning how to fly and after 1 hour the chick flew away with mother birds. I want to ask that is it possible that a bulbul can kill the chicks of other bulbul... Because I think that the one chick who get lost, was killed by other bulbul bird as I saw that they were attacking on the chicks. (I don't know it was attack or any techenique to teach them how to fly!)
Hey Shradha, thank you for this write up, it's good to know different bird stories. It is normal for the mama bird to discard one of it's chicks (Natural Selection). If you see any chick on the floor, it's not by an accident. Normally, the bulbul nests can accommodate only two growing chicks. It's very unlikely for the other bulbul birds to attack and kill the chicks. It can't even be a predatory bird coz it would have consumed the chick, not just kill and leave the body. My guess, it's the mama bird who disposed the other chick on the roof. Of course they can't carry a grown chick, so am guessing it must be during early days. Even in my video, the mama bird disposed one of the 3 chicks and I didn't find the body anywhere in the vicinity.
@@Fstopro thanks for replying🙏....As I passed nearly 20 days with the mother bird and also when she was teaching her chicks how to fly, mother bird was very close to me and she was not aggressive with me .Still some bulbul birds came to my house.... I am curious that if the mother bird recognises me or not? please don't mind , I am very curious To know about birds...🙏
@@shradhasrivastava9015 Hey, no worries :). I will tell you whatever I know. I am sure the mother bird recognizes you, but it may not be obvious to you as their gestures are different.
Hey we too have the same kind of birds in our home. But after first chicks first flight their parents were searching for it. We too couldn't recognize where it went. Do you have any idea whether the birds came back to nest or not?
crows r also their enemies nowadays its very rare to see a bulbul....wonderful video got to learn their behaviour but feeding their parents wld have been useful...
Actually there were 2 red whiskered bubul fledglings in my yard as well, one of them flew away (I think) and the other one is grounded the full day, and now it's night. What will happen to that fledgling? The parents are still teaching to fly, probably by tomorrow it may learn to fly. I hope it stays safe.
Hey Abhishek, sometimes this happen. Parents will come back for the chick the next day for sure. The chick will stay put for the night. Let me know what happens tomorrow :)
It laid egg only 1 in our house on the clothes hanging rope but it is not supported properly should I keep something to support it or will the parents keep the nest proper
Thanks for making video :) But I would like to tell you .. that these birds on 3:16 Is not on attacking mode :) .. actually the thing is that .. when they see their reflection in the mirror kind of glass they behave such .. how I know this ? As these red bulbul made so much times their nest and usually they are coming in my lawn son I observed there behavior very closely.. and once I also tried to take chick in my finger ( as there was evening time and still one chick could not fly properly so I took it on my finger and placed it on the plant ) at that time the parents were there but they just make one alert sound but they didn't attack on me . And in the morning I tried to help that cute chick in flying by placing it on the rope on some height at that time also parents just did some alert... and as I placed that baby .. one parent came and make that chick able to fly by several practice ... so you can help in some emergency situation you can help chick's... but be gentle , touch them in only emergency situation ,otherwise let the chick try :) to explore . Thanks friend
Thank you for your comment and watching the video :) 1. These birds lay eggs at my place every year and I know they get defensive when their chicks start to fly. I don't have any reflecting surface as you mentioned. It's a mesh door, not a glass one. So they were indeed in attacking mode warning me to stay away. 2. I don't think we should touch the chicks and interfere with their natural process. Whether the chicks make it or not, it's left to nature :)
Hai There was a nest in my garden and there was two eggs yesterday it hatched but two one baby is missing and one is dead...i saw this parent bulbul taking the baby and dropping it back into the nest..Does anyone know what might have possibly happened😔?
There's a bulbul nest in my balcony with 3 eggs in it and the mother hasn't returned from the past 2 days , did she abandon the eggs or what ? I am really worried
Hey Rutu, the eggs should hatch within 15 days. It's likely they won't hatch at all, that's the reason the mother has left it. Just wait for two days and dispose the eggs. Keep the nest in tact if you can, these birds reuse their nests.
One year ago Red whiskered bulbul had made nest in my house and have given eggs in the same nest 3 times already...I have not removed the nest and she then keep returning every year...last month when Bulbul babies flyied away...I guess this bulbuls relative came and now she is sitting in nest on eggs...I give them bananas,apples, grapes, papaya and pomegranate to eat near the nest...I hope you believe me as it don't looks true for them to comeback in same nest for 3 times already.
Yes, this happens. I had the same couple use the same nest 3 times already. This is normal, if they feel the location is safe, they keep returning. However, I would say, don't over feed them coz they shouldn't get used to humans feeding them :)
@@Fstopro 🤣🤣I give them fruits to eat everyday...she has become really lazy keep sitting in the nest...even she gave the same fruits to her babies and they flied away eating those fruits.
These birds have a nest outside my room. I've been taking pictures of them from day 1 but from a safe distance. I never touched the nest. They never minded me walking past their nest or hanging clothes on cloth line. Today they had their flying session. I don't know what happened when I got out my room the parent birds started flying over me making some noise. What should I do if they attack me? I'm a little scared. Also I don't know if the baby birds left the nest or not. Will they still attack me even after they leave the nest??
Don't worry, they become very defensive only during the flight lessons for the chicks. This will only last for 2 days max. It's better not to go near them for the next two days. Once the chicks fly away, even the parents leave the nest and won't bother you again :)
@@Fstopro are you sure that after they leave the nest they won't bother me? Because they really scared me today. They used to be very sweet. When they flew straight at my face, I got so scared.
Few days ago the same happened. Wish I had seen this video. The second baby bird was weak and it just sat on floor . It just won't fly. I thought maybe if I open the gate completely it will. As cats frequent my place I thought I will just sit after opening gate just to keep an eye. As soon as I approached to open gate it just flew out ..And it happened so suddenly. It could barely fly long distance and settled on grass.. I stood guard and then I just went inside for a few seconds and when I returned it wasn't there and I could see two kite/hawks flying low and the father and mother bulbul chasing it. Now I can't know for sure if it died or they ate it or it survived😭😭 Makes me feel responsible though Update: I see a new pair of eggs in the same nest and mommy bulbul is taking care of it. Not gonna interfere this time and let nature take its course
Yes, kite would have had it for sure. That's a good news, it's better see this amazing life from a distance and appreciate. Most chicks live and some don't, part of life :)
It's very hard to find the gender just by a glance. In this case, mother was a little bigger than the father. All other physical features are identical.
@@Fstopro ohh and i forgot to say one thing males sing songs more than females kno infact the males sing and say that stay out of my territory but for us cute little chirps and singing lol thnx for replieing dude i love bulbuls bro there is one more type of bulbul which is slightly larger than the red whiskered bulbul in ur video its name is red venvented bulbul face is black and body brown and at the bottom red patch its a n equally cute bird i love small perching birds for their eating of pests and insects which eat our crops in the field and for their cutiness and chirping abilities
@@Fstopro bro i dont know how to say but did u listen to bulbuls at sunset time or at 6pm to 6;30pm they create a very cute song which is like rakkekkkekkkkekkkk they always sing this type of song at sunset
@@Fstopro bro every morning these cuties sings many songs along with other birds and wake me up in the morning very early so hence i dont need my dad shouting to wake up nor any alarm clock lol i just adore these small birds bro isint their diet fruits yeah and small insects i heard they mainly eat berries they love berries
