Hello Linda how are you doing..?

He’s a male - what do you expect?😊

What a nice little home.

The problem with having a bigger hole is that it allows the invasive species that have been wrecking havoc on native bird species populations.😔

@@Nightowl5454 I'm aware , I'm only suggesting a very small change since the babies were having some difficulties.

@@EmbalmerEmi I don't think it's worth the risk.

Lol the 7th one was trying to use the door! 🥰 Go figure. Lucky number 7

Many years ago in my one-room flat, I had a pair of Zebra Finches! Well?? They bred! I noticed that the Male Finch actively fed the babies! Of course, later I had to remove them because the Male started harassing and attacking them!

Birds are amazing. ❤

I am the same. We have a large feeder suction-cupped to one kitchen window and I like to sit at the counter and watch them, up close. They’re fascinating creatures.

Right in front of my doorstep, on the drain pipe for the last 2 summers a momma bird has her babies there. I recorded them last year and she's currently there right now with the new chicks she just had , it's cool

I’m sure mum uttered ‘men!’😂

😂😂😂

​@shirleyn546 😂😂😂

I loved how he tilted his head sideways while watching mama bird and watched her so intently! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lol 😅😅😅 true

I have too agree with you about that 😂

Facts

Disney is about quantity not quality

Yah🥰 same thought .... may God blees y'all and hugs from Germany ♥

No they didn't. 2 hit a window and 3 were eaten. It's in another video

Dejá de mentir 🤡.​@@zedchillman2685

@@zedchillman2685 I meant to put a question mark. But initially meant they all left the nest

I also put my hair from the hairbrush outside. They love that!

@@journeywithnichole please think twice about that one of my finches got a long piece of hair wrapped around his toe. It cut off the circulation, and his toe fell off. Thank God there was no infection.

@stizelswik3694 please think twice about that. One of my finches lost a toe because of a long piece of hair they got wrapped around it. Thank God there was no infection, but it actually could’ve killed him.

​Not human hair, there's a video of a poor mama and her babies that got twisted in human hair and the babies didn't make it. It's from one of the people that have the burgers monitors on I can't remember who it was. Human hair can act like thin string and can be impossible to cut with their beaks.​@stizelswik3694

@@teresahaugen3974 oh my, thank you so much for that information! Wonder if that would happen with dog, cat or goat hair? Maybe there’s a different instinct with wild birds. I have seen them grab the whole wad of hair & take it straight to their nest. They instinctively grab what they like & know.

It's like: okay, we don't need this...

Don't worry. Birds are better parents than humans.

A feathered large family in a cramped house :D

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER

@stizelswik3694 Yes but it would be amusing to watch. Making some miniatures is easy and very cheap when using natural materials. Twigs and brown craft paper and string...

@stizelswik3694 THE BOOK WAS RECIPES FOR COOKING CHICKEN.

This sounds awesome! 😎 They'll be inviting magazines round to do those home tours that celebrities do! 😂💖 I'm not trying to be one of those negative moaners when I say this, just trying to help as I can see that you want to help our feathered friends out. I volunteer in wildlife rescue and, from experience, ask you to please, please only use furniture/items that the birds can't get stuck in. No holes that little legs can get in, or any type of string/twine that doesn't snap as easily as grass. The reason is that they can harm the chicks. Chicks grow really quickly and often, in small nests, don't move too much to start with, so often grow touching the same bedding. Therefore a hole that their legs might be able to get in and out of easily at first could be something that they keep their leg in for a few days and then it gets stuck as they grow, which can be catastrophic. The worst one is twine that doesn't easily break. We had a case where a mama owl had made her nest and, amongst the natural fibres, used a few pieces of polypropylene rope that had broken down into individual strings. As the chicks grew, it wrapped around two of their legs (one on each chick, tying them together), slowly got tighter, and cut the blood supply off so the legs became necrotic (died). They fell out of the nest as they couldn't fly (due to being attached). It took a while for them to be found and so they didn't make it. This is why I implore everyone - if you see anything that's string-like and not easily breakable (string, twine, plastic ribbon, etc), please pick it up and pop it in the bin. You could save a life 💖

@@t-and-p I was thinking of using twigs from storm debris around my area. No glue either. Have to dig out my bird house book and get correct info for my "local" birds.

@@melindajohnson3394 Sounds fab! 🤩 Most bigger birds tend to like twigs to get the outer structure and weave in some grasses to hold it together (smaller birds will often use harder grasses like reeds). Then it's soft stuff to line it, that they can mould and shape (like moss, pet fur, grasses) to make it comfortable. Wool (not the acrylic sort, ypu want yarn made of natural materials to avoid microplastics) or cotton that's pulled apart into what my nephew calls "fluffy clouds" (to stop it being an entanglement hazard) goes down a storm, as does any dead hair from after you've brushed (so long as you can pull and snap it). Looking into what works for your local birds is an awesome idea and incredibly kind. Thank you for caring and looking after the feathereds! 😎💖

❤☺

Amen!

Yeah, me too. Thanks so much ❤😊

Generations of knowledge coded in their DNA. Elephants take the same routes generation after generation & so do migrating animals n birds . Humans disrupt this by building structures, farms etc .

❤😂

C’mon, the chicks are too young to know how to read. Give them a chance! And Mama and Papa are too busy to read!

😂

Well, tbh, it’s a reproduction. But it’s a very nice touch! 😂
