This is the condensed version. You can also watch individual video for each day of those 26 days.
House Finch built the nest over the lamp cover. it provided chance to observe in such close view. Two cameras were set up close to the nest. It was amazing to watch baby Finches came out from eggs, feed by parents, grown up, and left nest after 26 days.
Within less than 30 minutes, you will be able to watch highlighted moment such as baby bird born, parents feed the babies, baby Finches practice flying, left nest, etc. During this period, tragedy happened to one baby Finch, sad moment to watch Finch Mom took him out of the nest.

The 2 larger eggs were entirely a different bird specie and their diet most likely insects! Finches' primary diet is seeds and fruit/berries.

Some stupid cowbird decided to lay it’s eggs in the nest of a seed eating birds. Cowbirds don’t have a crop like finches and will eventually choke from their style of feeding their chicks. They regurgitate a seed paste into the chicks mouths and they have a crop it fills. Cowbirds are designed to eat things like bugs and worms , the seed paste eventually fills and hardens in their throat and they choke to death. So it was a bad nest selection for the parasite cowbird mother that laid her two eggs in they wrong type of birds nest. At around 10:18 you already see the one cowbird chick that hatched starting to choke on a mouth filled with chewed seeds it can’t swallow as it slowly loses all the water out of the paste. It’s trying to swallow, finch chicks have a different feeding style and they don’t swallow, the feed from the parent birds fills right into their crop. You can see when the mother finch has to remove the dead cowbird chick that is has a giant enlarged throat at the bottom of the head, that is the huge lump of seeds that hardened into a total blockage and caused it to suffocate during the night.

The Brown-headed and Bronzed Cowbirds tend to forage on similar diets, consisting primarily of vegetative foods and insects. In summer and during the breeding season they are particularly fond of a variety of insects and larvae, especially beetles, caterpillars, bugs, grasshoppers, and spiders. At these times of the year, insects provide for more than half of their overall intake. From late fall until the following spring, the cowbirds diets are mostly seeds. Seeds of dandelion, knotweed, ambrosia, and the grass Echinochloa are staples in their diet, yet they cherish yellow foxtail grass above all else. Yellow foxtail grass has been referred to as the cowbirds "staff of life". Fruits are an important, but minor, part of their diet. They seem to prefer blackberries, huckleberries, wild cherries, grapes, and cedar berries. In farmland areas, especially where the crops grown include corn, maize (milo), wheat, oats, barley and other grains, cowbirds tend to join larger mixed flocks of other blackbirds and starlings causing the farmers considerable grief. Large flocks can strip crops and reduce significantly the total yield. wildbirdsonline.com

@@jayhouse3149 if you read the referenced journal article I sited in one of the above responses the research findings were that the cowbird chick died 100% of the time when placed in the nest of the house finch. They use crop feeding with their chicks which isn’t a compatible style of feeding for the cowbird chicks. As the parent birds of more ideal nests evolve and are able to identify the cowbird eggs and remove them, the cowbird female tries to possibly find other bird species to place her eggs with. Obviously with sample expansion not all species of birds will be a compatible match which can be for various reasons at a whole. Cowbird numbers have been declining so new species testing by the cowbird parent seems to be warranted on the part of the female cowbird.

Odd. Normally baby birds disturb me, but these don't seem to as much. Must be because they are fuzzier.

Hatched, not born. Born refers to live birth. One died during night? Did the other birds take all the food and crowd it out? The dead chick was fairly large, I wonder what happened. There were 5 eggs in the nest, what happened to the last egg, as there were 4 chicks feeding. After fledging, one egg left in nest.

No way of knowing till they get older, they all look pretty much alike. That may explain the missing 5th egg. If those 2 larger and differently colored egg were nest parasites, mama cowbird may have taken it, or the parents may have removed it if it didn't hatch.

They are cowbird eggs but cowbirds will never survive in a finch nest. They will always end up choking to death by their method of feeding their chicks.

Brood parasitism. Basically another bird laid it's eggs in this finch nest. Seems to be cowbird eggs based on the spots. Cowbirds are a protected native species in the USA so it is actually illegal to remove their eggs from a nest if you find them. But even if it was legal, you shouldn't anyway as some cowbirds monitor their chicks in a nest and have been known to become hostile toward a nest if their chick dies and will attack the remaining eggs and chicks to ensure the nest fails.

@shannonspage9360 Жыл бұрын

Cowbirds will not survive if laid in the nest of seed eating birds. So the mother of these parasitic cowbird eggs made a bad choice…no wonder they are not surviving well. Robins had already evolved to identify and remove the parasite cowbird eggs on their own.
