Thanks all for watching 😁 Check out biddy returning this year to try again 🐦❤ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7OHea2Js72vcnk.html

Back in the 1960s my family was on a camping trip in Yosemite. We were excited to see a bird's nest over our campsite and looked forward to watching the little family for a week. But it soon became evident that mama was tangled in something. She would try to fly off but was tethered to the nest by a string or ribbon. We alerted a park ranger who said, That's nature; leave it alone. We and other campers were quite distressed by this and finally, to everyone's relief, another park ranger climbed a ladder and freed her. Thank you for freeing Biddy! It's not always in an animal's best interests to intervene, but sometimes it's just obvious.

awe, this broke my heart. I can't even imagine the panic she must have felt. Thank you for sharing this story and saving mama.

I only realized how tiny those birds are when I saw your hand :( You have amazing heart caring for them. Bless you.

I had no idea there was so much drama involved in nest making. It's not just this video, but others apparently show that defending against other birds is a real crapshoot.

KZfaq recommended the whole series, now I am just sad

Thank you for saving little Biddy. It's unfortunate but if she were nesting anywhere else and this happened she would be dead.

Thank you for that viewer warning. Seeing a distressed bird is extremely hard to watch. The flapping of those little wings - oh the humanity.

you did good to intervene, we should intervene to help, we are part of nature aswell.

You tried. You saved her X And you're right. There have been a lot of nestbox cams on KZfaq. Some boxes have had some tragic stories, they've been upsetting to watch. But we have to remember our technology is relatively new..so all these things have always been going on, we just watch in real time now. Lovely to see such a young man interested and compassionate about nature.

Her fight between survival and her mother instinct is such a life lesson. Thanks for sharing this video and intervening.

Damn When your comfort zone becomes a deadly trap

This was sad to watch but how amazing that, thanks to the camera being there, you were able to rescue her! Thank goodness you rescued her.

They were good parents. So sad it ended this way. I hope her foot is okay.

It was a tough choice to intervene but no human being could have watched the female suffer being caught up. You did the right thing - I’m sure she had another brood. Beautiful footage....nature can be cruel but so is life. Good work ✌🏼🙏🏼💕

Sadly, that was just a tragic accident. I'm glad you were able to help her. 🥰 You explained everything so perfectly. Thank you!

Oh no poor Biddy that must have been so awful. Thank goodness for the camera and you getting her out, I don't think there was any other option sadly, for the chicks. I'm happy to know that she has some chicks again this year, good luck Biddy and Miley!

Who would've thought this could also happen...they got tough lifes.. Thanks for keeping her alive!

How sad, glad you saved her, fingers crossed for next year, my grandson was watching in Amsterdam he is really into birds now. Thank you so much for your time, keep safe looking forward to next video.

Thank you. Nature is tough and we don't have to hesitate in help animals if we can.

Just had to binge all your videos…..we’re on our second set of bluebirds and their nesting but it wasn’t until I watched all the drama going on inside that I developed a true understanding of life in the box!! Thanks so much….FROM SC, USA!

Aww, that’s so sad. Glad she is doing well now, though.

Thank you for doing this! And for helping Biddy. It’s important for us to help animals when they need us. :)

I have been collecting all of my hair since I saw what a mop string did to a poor bird in my crepe myrtle tree . I thought, omg , if a mop string would do that imagine what a wad of hair would do . Like seals getting caught up in fishing string. Heartbreaking. I have had to rescue 2 birds from my glass jar squirrel feeder . I put food out for the squirrels and birds every morning. Just part of my food budget .

Bittersweet. Thank you for saving Biddy. ♥ P.S. LOVE your accent! 😊

Sorry fella,was looking forward to completion of the story,but that’s the natural world.Thanks so much for your efforts really enjoyed it all.

Well done Fionn. Unfortunate end but a very well put together series, look forward to future ones

Thank you for sharing the journey with us Fionn, even though it didn't have the end we were all looking forward to. I'm glad you were able to save biddy so that she could reunite with Miley. Keep sharing videos and I will keep watching.

...and people throw yarn and string around for birds thinking it’s good for them.

Sorry about the sad ending. A great nest diary, onwards and upwards.

All life is precarious I guess. Thanks for explaining the sad demise of Biddy and Mikey’s chicks this season. The nest building was amazing.

Sad news that the chicks died but Biddy wouldn’t want to go back after her trauma. Really enjoyed viewing the series Fionn hopefully they or others will return.

Lesson learned. I have disposed of hair from my brush thinking a bird would make a nest out of it. I never thought of it being a danger. After watching, I will NEVER do that again. It makes me wanna cut it up into tiny pieces before throwing it in the trash can just as an extra precaution.

It's been a terrible year for small birds , the late spring had caused all sorts of problems , so many birds have been lost, such a shame.

poor thing 😢 im so glad you were able to free her. how sad the little chicks didn’t make it. thank you for looking after them & taking good care ❤️

Well done Fionn & thank you for sharing their story 💞

So much joy watching during hard times during pandemic 2021. Thank u from California USA 💕😊

A great series Fionn. Very well done. Heartbreaking to see this conclusion 😥 But you done a great job, well done

All sentient beings are precious. KZfaq recommended this and I’m so delighted. Beautiful work.

I'm glad you were there bro, thanks for doing what you do. I enjoy the vids

Lived in an apartment that didn't bother fixing my dryer vent so birds nested in it. One morning, a dead baby was hanging out, tangled in floss. These things seem like great nesting stuff.

So nice! What a beautiful hobby/profession and we get to see it without the dramatic music or intervention used from the money making networks. I really enjoy these videos, thank you!

Thanks for sharing this. We have two bluetit boxes in our trees unfortunately this year the magpies got some of the fledglings. Glad you intervened at the end here. Good man.

You're doing good work, thanks for the update, glad Biddy was able to be freed and mother further chicks.

Aww.... 💚😟 Thanks for your videos and for saving Biddy. Until next one xx

the female bird went through psychological treatment and has fully recovered

Thank you for caring.. 💖 🤗☺️ I have dreads so thankfully I won't be adding to the bird tangle delema at the moment, so that makes me feel better. Thank you so much for the commentary and videos

Just recently found your site and enjoy it so much. I agree with you about the silver lining. Keep up your good work!

So glad you had that camera in there! I am a passionate bird lover and enjoy my time on the deck watching mine at the feeders , I have numerous cardinals, robins, and blue Jay's among many finches, I'm looking forward to your videos . ❤

Awww how sad :( thankfully she survived. I well done on saving her. Thanks for the videos 🤗

What a wonderful job of video. He’s been so informative and helpful.

Well done for intervening x

You are an angel, young man! 🙏👍🥰

I had this problem last week but the blue tit was outside the nest it couldn’t fly away the hair or whatever it was , was wrapped round it’s wee leg going into the nest , it was just a matter of going over and freeing it , i didn’t think it would’ve came back cause I put my hand on it but the nest is thriving , happy days

Wow. So Sad. Thanks for sharing this and for saving Her. Thankfully you were there.

Thank you for the story!! Glad you saved the bird!!!

Thank you very much for sharing. I just found your videos and I truly enjoy them. Subscribed of course😊 blessings

Thank you for sharing this amazing journey.

A sad end but a fantastic videos - really enjoying watching them and others you are doing.

Poor baby. TY for saving her.

I watched the other 2 videos of this and it was so sweet. Mother nature can be rough. I'm glad you were able to save the momma bird. Sry for the loss bud.

Oh My Gosh, I'll never brush my hair outside again....

So nice! thank you for share! Greetings from Brazil!

Thank you for doing this!

What a tragic end and thankful that at least `Biddy survived. Thank you , will stay tuned.

What a good photographer you are. Thank you for filming such interesting wildlife. Watching from USA 🇺🇸

Thank you for saving her 💗 From Illinois USA

I'm so glad you intervened!

Just subscribed. Looking forward to your videos. You did the right thing.

This may sound _very_ harsh but I am convinced that you did the right thing by letting nature take its course. You gave the chicks a chance, the mother didn't return so... there was no way for them. As cruel as this may sound this is what nature is all about: only the strong survive.

Unfortunate end to the series. But thats nature i suppose! Can't wait to see what you bring out next! 😁

Silver lining indeed,👌🏼👌🏼 Very sad to watch as this must have been so stressful for mom, and of course dad, You came to the rescue and saved a bigger loss, God blessings be on you and all you love, thank you for been a kind caring person, 🙏🏼,.. ❤️to Ireland 🇮🇪👍🏻

Thanks for posting this. Sorry for your loss. Very painful to watch. We lost our blue tit mam last year with the chicks about 5 days old. Dad kept going and 7 chicks eventually fledged. I spent a lot of money on live mealworms to help him! For the first time all the boxes are emtpy this year. Maybe it's the cool weather.

Unfortunate end Fionn but a fantastic series, I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to all of your future videos!

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you Fionn!!

Sad ending… watch the material they bring in to build the nest. It definitely is easier to find artificial fibers than natural fibers to keep the nest well isolated, thus warm. They probably bite easily through hair when they are in panic. But polyester is totally different.

Thank you for talking to us.😊🥰

Just captivating stuff. I'm obsessed!

I'm very great full for saving Millie❣️

Thanks for rescuing Biddy ❤️

Thank you so much on your careful coverage of blue for. Both so delightful and tragic to say. But happy to see inside the heart of connecting with you through eyes of nature. This thing called life.

Thank you for sharing this adventure!

Thank G-d you where able to help them.🌷💕🙏🏽

Bravo for!!!!! you and your praiseworthy actions that you are doing!!!!!

This is good to know because if I ever put out my longer hair for birds I’ll cut it to being 2 inches long and no longer. Thank you for this upload! It’s very informational and good for putting out the right materials for nesting birds!

Thank you for your efforts.

Thank you for the beautiful content Fionn and for saving Biddy. 😍😍😍 Life goes on. I have a bird feeder on my balcony and I am so happy to see a pair of Blue tits eating constantly. I hope everything is good in their nest.

Well done mate please keep it up I’m waiting for the next one

Aww! Sad ending but I learned a lot! Thank you!

Thank God you were able to help her. What you're doing here is great..thank you.

Thank you for helping her.

Bitter sweet ending. Looking forward to next year. Great job on saving Biddy!

Any idea what happened Fionn? Along with so many others I was watching their progress and looking forward to seeing the chicks eventually hatch and fly. Delighted you were there to help her escape whatever it was that tangled her.

Interesting presentation, thanks, I learned something 👍👍👍

God bless you for intervening. .

Poor Biddy. That was hard to watch. 😔 I'm glad that you were able to save her though, and she has had more chicks since then.

Very educational. Thank you.

So sad for the babies but happy to hear Biddy survived thanks to your intervention. I wonder if entanglement in hair is common? I know a lot of people put hair out for bird nests. Lovely wildlife images at the end. I look forward to your next video :)

You have a great patience to do this hard work.excellent Vedio.thanks.
