That was one of the most beautiful and peaceful and interesting videos I have ever seen inall my life .

8:06 they thought their sibling was gonna feed them 😂😂

Love how the parents softly chirp at the infants to prompt them to open up!

Thank you ! I made a hanging flower basket just for them to make a nest in and now we have eggs. So fun to watch, the documentary style was great. thanks for sharing !

These are both House Finch. Male House Finch have a brown cap and brown around the eye as this bird shows. Also female Purple Finch show a distinct white eyebrow. The bill on a Purple Finch is also straighter. House Finch have more curved culmen. Purple Finch have white undertail coverts. House Finch have streaked undertail coverts

Very entertaining video! Note - this is a house finch nest (Haemorhous mexicanus) - not purple finch (Haemorhous purpureus).

This was awesome! I just had a nest of house finches on my front door. Mama bird made a nest in my wreath. She had three babies. They flew out of the nest this morning. Today was day 17!

Thank you! I have a nest of these with fuzzy baby birds in it, in a hanging basket on my front porch. I love watching the parents every day as they tend to and feed the hatchlings. The last 2 years, bluebirds occupied this nest. Nice to see some new residents this year.

This is an amazingly done little documentary!! Thank you, sir!!

These are definitely house finches. You’re good! Female purple finches have white face stripes. Female house finches have little to no stripes.

Seeing little birds hatch makes me smile. Sweet video!

Thank you so much for making this video! We have a family of Purple Finches that have nested right outside my studio window. The thrill of watching this experience unfold is captured in your fabulous video. Thank you so much!

I'm in love with birds I've been watching videos nonstop and love how the dad calls wife to join him to see if she likes the nest I mean how cute is this?and their thinking process too, how they feed their babies etc...I love it, thank you for these beautiful videos❤️

OMG!! I’m in love 😍 with these babies!! All those little beakers begging for food. Thank you for sharing!!

Excellent narrative! When this species was new to me 5 years ago, I learned that the little we can do for them can really make a difference. Yes, I'm concerned about the decline in bird populations around the globe. I thought the most important thing was to feed them in winter. I would put the feeder away as soon as the chickadees disappeared for the spring. Little did I know how desperately do migrating birds need to find feed at their destination or along the way. Then I saw that red head one chilly April morning ... just like on the bird seed bag! He was helping his mate to glean a meal from bits of seeds spilled on my deck. It was the the same way a rooster in the yard makes sure that the hens feed first. (Do most birds do this?). I put the feeder back up & educated myself from Birds of N.America, Golden Press. And, yes, the books call it purple finch or house finch even though the males are strikingly RED. Said to nest along the treeline of the nearby Rockies, at 7000 ft here in SW Alberta, and generally under snow until late May. Well, this pair hung around for a few weeks and fattened up. When they disappeared in May, I did not expect to see them again. But, the feeder stayed up. I noticed that all sorts of new and interesting kinds of birds we're also hanging around. Goldfinches for one thing. A species that prefers to nest in the boreal forest hundreds of miles to the north. My place was no longer just a stopover, and I now feed out twice as much seed in summer as I ever did in winter. The big surprise came one morning at the end of that summer 5 years ago. Lined up on the clothesline that hangs under the covered deck where I first spotted them was a pair of house finches and FOUR fledglings. They fed for a few days and headed south. Ever since, they seem to be nesting nearby, as there are always a few at feeder throughout the summer ... where they fight it out with an army of gold finches. I like to think it started with the same pair who flew in on a spring snowstorm. Had they not found food they might have perished and never reproduced. Sorry I am not as camera savvy as those of you post these remarkable videos. And, today I learned that the female house finch, who is neither purple nor red, moves her eggs around. Cheers!

I loved your meticulous documentation and comments! and Wonderful details! Thank you so much!!

I have house finches nesting in my front door floral arrangement!! This is the first time fir a bird family. I’m super excited 😝

I have a house finch nest in one of my hanging baskets in my backyard. Four babies now are 2 to 4 day old. I already feel they are part of my family and worried all the time about them. I didn’t see the mother this morning and I was so worried that I literally felt sick. It seems the mother doesn’t always stay in her nest as she did before. I saw the daddy was there once. I hope the babies have enough care from their parents.

I have no idea where my finches nests are but I’ve been seeing lots of little baby finches with fluff still around their heads yelling at mom and dad. Kind of hilarious as they’ve followed their mom and dad right into a bowl of finch seed, lol! So fun to see the whole process.

I had a little nest just outside my door. It was really something to see how quickly these little birds go from an egg to a little fledgling. I always enjoy how it seems the entire finch community participates in raising the little fledglings. The dads do the feedings. They both take turns. I think the babies stick together even beyond the nest. It's really cool to watch. At a distance, it kind of compares our own families. Magical video.

I loved this. Thanks for posting. The finches are beautiful, and I’m certainly glad they escaped. I love the jays, too…..my favorite, with their big attitudes. ❤️

Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it and will play it again for my grandchildren. We have a country home and a red finch family took up residence in one of two wreaths I have on our French doors leading to the patio. We love watching them. The nest is in one wreath and the male rests in the other wreath. There are five eggs in the nest!

Thank you for this video, Gary. Absolutely beautifully done. ❤️

Thank you so much for taking time to share this precious experience. We have a pair that have nested at our place and it's been fun to watch. I wish I have set up a camera. Your captioning was great and very informative. Thanks again!

This is an absolute treat to watch ! Thank you so much for sharing .

I have some lovely finches who made a nest in my hanging flower pot. the other day there were five eggs but I've noticed today she hasn't left so I believe they have 6 now. I put out some sunflower seeds and other types of bird food so dad can feed mom. It's so sweet how both parents look at the babies when they hatch❤

I have been watching a house finch nest on my back patio under the deck above me since April 19th of this year- she has 4 eggs and the first one just started hatching today. I am so excited to see the babies. It’s been such a great experience. The dad has been coming the whole time :)

This is such a joy to be watching this amazing video of the finch family!!

Thanks for making time to record this

Loved the video. Very educational. I got two house finch making a nest on my wreath just right outside my door. It's a glass door so I get the privilege to see her make the nest every day. Can't wait to see some babies soon. Downfall is we can't open up our front door anymore so we leave through the garage haha

So beautiful 😍 This is so heart-warming for me since my bird feeder is full of house finches. Thank you for this beautiful video.

Currently have a nest right outside my living room window and have loved watching them! 5 babies and about 4-6 days old! I was wondering when they'll fledge and I'm super bummed I'll probably be out of town when they do! So seeing this video was nice, thanks for posting!

Cuanto nos enseña la naturaleza!!!!! Compañerismo amor por los hijos....y sobre todo ser una familia unida....muy bello el video..gracias....

Very informative, especially with the text overlaid. Beautiful how the parents take care of the babies. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Switzerland.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

Beautiful video very cute those little birds. 👏🏻👏🏻

This is great! A momma and a daddy just moved into one of my hanging planters.

Gary, you make great videos. But, There is a Purple finch and a House finch. The Purple finch has a red rump, V tail and brownish red checks and are naturel to America. House finches do not have these marking. You do great work nice to see your videos Thanks George...

Beautiful sharing friend 👍👍👍

Thank you for this beautiful video!

Omg so cute, I have a house Finch too, he is injured but I am taking care of him. So he can recover ❤️

Great Video! They grew up quick, and left in a frightened state for survival.

OMG! A california scrub got our baby finches. It was so sad coming to the nest and seeing it totally empty after days of the babies chirping.

Very special video. Thank you for sharing.

Nature is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I have never seen a video so beautiful, loved it so so much.

I have 2 little hatchlings in my hedges right by my window. I enjoy watching them.

Very much enjoyed seeing what goes on in the nest as we only have a side view. Our finches had two broods this year

The way they just throw their mouths open is to cute.

Great photography!

Great informative video. I have a little nest on my front porch so thought I would learn a bit about these birds.

lovely to watch, thank you

Thank You! I have 3 nest of House Finches. (1) Nestling, around 10 days. (2) Brand New Hatchlings. (3) Eggs that look like they may be starting to hatch. Watching your video was so wonderful. I have to stand on a ladder, hold my iPhone over the nests and click sight unseen!. But I have posted some delightful photos on my Facebook. Thank you again! :-)

so adorable ❤️

So cute! We learned so much. We have a nest we are watching and are wondering why only one egg hatched in 2 days. Now we know to keep watching!

Wow! I really enjoyed your video! Thanks🙂

Wonderful. Thankyou 😍🤗

I found two nestling finches in my garden and took them in for safety and are now fledglings, one is ready to fly away. I’m going to intend to release them tomorrow, it is such a bitter sweet moment. May they have a safe and fulfilling life ❤️🥲♥️

They are such sweet little birds.I have a bunch of them in my yard.Purple finches.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

My budgie has made friends with the house finches who visit the feeder outside her window. She has learned a version of their call and utters a sharp whistle to call them over when she hears them down the street at their house. I hope they don’t go away and leave her bereft!

Also both species have red rump . And the female purple finch would have a white eye stripe , which as you see , this female does not . These are in fact house finches :)

This is Awesome Gary! Love the captions too. Good thing the Jay was late. If I may ask what camera did you use? Was it a GoPro? Thanks for sharing this. Love it.

Awww so adorable 😍

It was so beautiful to watch how life grows and even the tiny parents take their responsibility so obediently! If you noticed both parents had lost weight due to hard work! But how long or how many weeks it took for their entire journey to leave the nest? Thanks for such amazing job! 🙂🙂

We had one for about 4 months. Rescued her from sidewalk and couldn’t find the nest or parents. Hand fed her until she could feed herself and we let her fly around the house. She was so smart and followed us everywhere. Then one day she decided to escape and flew out the door and was gone. We miss her, but we know we saved her life. Hope to see her again sometime.

OMG!! This is so awesome!! ♥︎♥︎♥︎

Sadly, for the second time this summer, we have awoken and found our house finch nest completely empty. The first time, the eggs were pilfered by a squirrel, we think, because my dog went crazy (a Great Pyrenees) and this time the little guys were about 8 days old, and we have no idea what happened. No sign of them left. :( I'm suspecting a Blue Jay or maybe a Grackle.

Better than the educational movies we watched in elementary school!

Yes i enjoyed Thank you Very much.

Great video! I love the fact that there is no stupid music.

I wish we could post photos on here. I have a house finch nest on a wreath at front door. The mother left for a few today and I got up on a chair from inside my house and was able to get a photo from the window. She had 4 or 5 eggs but all I see is two little things with skin and a little fur. I dunno if something happened to the other eggs unless the two babies are laying on them. I wish I knew how to tell if there a day old or more. Either way it’s such a joy to watch and an honor too that they picked my front door 😆

Thank you, I enjoyed the video👏😎

Great video! These are House Finches. Purple Finches are a completely different bird.

This is great! I have some house finches at my house right now (about 12 days old). I'd love for the finches to come nest here again but the poop wreath is gross! Should I clean out the poop or take out the nest entirely when all the babies leave the nest? There had been a nest prior to this batch and mama renovated it, so I'm not sure if keeping the nest there (poop and all?) will encourage her to come back.

Very interesting! Some just built a nest and laid eggs on my porch so I got curious

Example of true'love male feeding female ❤️❤️❤️

Y’all like it’s cute I’m like them are some quiet chicks and birds I like.

You are a purple finch expert.

I just found a nest under my porch . One baby was hatched today and 3 more eggs waiting to hatch

These finches have just nested on my porch lamp and we don’t have the heart to take it down. Looks like it’s going to be a mess to clean it up with all the poop by the end of your video! Maybe we will try hanging a flower basket as some others have done.

Very informative and interesting video I've seen. I have small yard where I put feed for house finches in Bandung, Indonesia. Every in the morning, afternoon and evening finches come and play around the small bowl. Thanks for making a beatiful video on finches.

Life of a bird 🐦 Thanks.

Thanks you for sharing it….

Wait, so at the end, one of them returns for nostalgic reasons?

Thanks God, they go. 🙂❤️

Sir your videos are great, I'm doing the same thing. I'm shooting with my mobile camera. I need some cameras like you. I have no idea about the camera. Please let me know which camera you are using and what type of camera you are using

We got the same finches that made a nest in our wreath, had 3 eggs. Sadly a week in a stray cat got one, I was watching them all the time and started bringing them in at night, but again today the same cat struck and ate another, I was so upset. The smallest one is left, and I'm hoping he makes it. Mom and dad bird were taking such good care of them

Excelente información ilustrada en vídeo sobre estas maravillosas aves. Tengo la fortuna de que cada año anidan en los helechos de mi ventana. Saludos.

What kind of camera do u have to capture this

I think I have some of these guys right outside my window! They are adorable

good job

the parents don't clean the nest like most birds do

That's a lot of mouths to feed mama and papa❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

mama and papa made a great team, do they still stay together after the chicks leave or go off on their own too?

I loved this video. I’m sad about the end and happy they got away.. the thing is that blue bird looks like a scrub jay and they are extremely smart they plan even future plan things which is rare in the Animal world, he’s going to come back :(

Which month they lay eggs?

So it took them 17 days from hatching to leave the nest?

So cool.....love it❤️😊🙏🏼

Amazing
