can you explain why? because of the extra width?

@AnimeSunglasses Ай бұрын

@@hugomuller9373 I think they mean because it makes mounting the camera to get a good picture of the entire nest easier, while also keeping the camera high up so it doesn't get dirty.

Many (not all, but most of them) bird species need both parents to help raise their fast-growing chicks :) ... they're not necessarily monogamous for life, but they stick together for at least a breeding season ❤️

@cruzramirez8724 Ай бұрын

At the beginning of the video the bird was inspecting the house, looking from 1 side to the other, visually measuring the box, instinctively knows how big the sticks most be, and dividing the box with their visionary instincts oh how big the nest should be. Simply complex and smart.

@alliehamilton-calhoun162 4 ай бұрын

I'm in central Illinois & my house wrens usually don't make it. My neighbor's free-range cat is the bane of my existence during the summer. He nabs them up as soon as they fledge. I thought I was doing good just putting sparrow guards over the entrances. Grrrr. You must have enough chemical-free native plants nearby to produce the number of caterpillars needed to rear a brood of babies. Good job!

@seasnailsplatoon762 3 ай бұрын

Hmm. I was inspired to put up a couple boxes for chickadees and wrens, but you're making me rethink my plans. My neighborhood has a few roaming cats, and I'd hate for native birds to put so much energy raising their babies only to feed a cat. I need to do some research and find places around the property that give fledgling birds some cover and escape routes. MY cats won't be an issue for them, they're indoor-only because I don't want them destroying the local ecosystem!

Very interesting. The bird chose a bird box next to a tree, knowing it could conserve energy building the nest. Then, just like human babies, the chick's can't communicate they are in danger, like when the roof of their nest continually gets removed.
