Live Nest Box Camera 2023 - Loughborough, UK

3 жыл бұрын

First there was two, now there's four. Number 3 arrived overnight at around 1am and number 4 was released from it's egg at about 12:50 this afternoon. There's still at least two more eggs to go that have been seen on camera today. During the day our male parent is popping in with food around every four minutes unless the rain (and hail) is heavy. He's doing a stand up job!!
In case you're new around here, firstly, welcome and secondly there is a 24 hour livestream that you can find by clicking on the round logo at the bottom left of the video and then clicking on the 'live nest cam' picture. That way you won't miss a thing!
More tomorrow....

I had no idea they eat the eggshell after the babies hatch.

It makes sense though, gives them back the calcium they lost and I guess it's also a good idea to not just throw them out so enemies will know there are babies nearby

How do parents know which chick to feed?

@DawnTyrantEo 3 жыл бұрын

Generally the hungriest chick will beg the loudest and most intensely, so the parents will feed that one. The system has its disadvantages- a weak chick might struggle to get fed versus more vigorous ones, and cuckoo chick calls are effectively designed to overload the foster parents' instincts so they get fed more than the parents would normally feed a chick- but in a healthy nest it's a generally-successful system.

@@DawnTyrantEo You are forgetting that this is natural selection at work. Weakest chicks will get sorted out of the genetic pool, so only the strong ones remain. Fastest, strongest, loudest, whatever an environmental niche requires, those specimens that fulfil the requirements better than others will remain.

@@demonsmanifesto From a genetics perspective that's true as long as it's genetic factors in play, but from an emotional perspective (be it the birds' or the humans') it's a 'bad outcome' if chicks die nevertheless.
