Fall Finch Feeding Tips
มุมมอง 4852 หลายเดือนก่อน
American Goldfinches are our latest songbirds to nest, timing their broods to the ripening of Canadian Thistle. Because of this, they have particular feeding needs in the late summer/early autumn. Also, goldfinches have a late-season molt that may make them unrecognizable to the uninitiated. Around all winter, goldfinches appreciate a heartier seed once temperatures drop.

How Birds Survive Winter Temperatures
มุมมอง 549ปีที่แล้ว
Birds survive our Minnesota winters through physical and behavioral adaptations. The word “adaptation” refers to a particular characteristic that makes a bird better suited to its environment including: * Feathers which trap and hold warm air. Healthy feathers are critical to survival. * Fat reserves that provide extra insulation * Legs and feet typically covered with special scales that minimi...
The Mystery of Migration
มุมมอง 51ปีที่แล้ว
Millions of birds migrate to and from breeding grounds and wintering grounds. Migration is thought to be triggered by several things including the number of daylight hours, temperature and food supply. Most backyard songbirds migrate at night when the winds are calmer. They use several cues or “maps” to guide them along their route such as the position of the sun and stars, the earth’s magnetic...

No comments? Here I'll fix it
What kind of stupid ass post doesn't actually play the sound of the fucking owl
My squirrels got to knaw on the wood , and opened the roof . I now put a wire around so it won't come opened
Nice!
Thank you great video
Just answer why remove the hatchling and handle it? I dont understand why someone who cares enough to monitor the nest boxes would risk this.
Pellet gun 😂😂😂😂
Дятлик мой хороший❗🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌳
nice

That’s aren’t nice Starlings are awesome they are hungry too 😢
Winter feathers of males show a blue-grayish margin. As winter wears on, the feathers wear. By breeding season the red pigments are at their finest.
So blue for work. Red for getting laid 😏
I need an european starling bird please.
No bleach!! Use vinegar
Saw 3 this morning pecking the ground. Simpson County, Mississippi
Makes me smile. Thank you so much😊
Thank you for the joy!!
thanks for the beautiful video
They are such a bright spot in our dark winters!❤ thank you for the lovely video😊
Beautiful!!!
❤️
So true! I have a bird bath as well as a small fountain. In the winter I use de-icer elements in both of them. The birds love them and I see them go to them all throughout the day even on snowy days!! I am sure they are grateful when those are the only sources of fresh water that isn’t frozen! 💦
Did the birds play guitar.....what a stupid video
Would have been better without the back ground music.
So what exactly makes a great birdhouse? This is just pics no info
Exactly what I was going to say. Without context the pictures could be anything. Good? Bad? Why?
Very cool never thought of bird feet . The Raptor Trust (TRT) has a video Case Study: Canada Goose shows how they healed the foot. I do not work at TRT but a Friend & I rescue songbirds that hit the glass skyscrapers in Newark NJ, TRT made a video named 'Window Strikes in the Business District' of us picking up injured Warblers. In Newark most of the birds that hit the glass skyscrapers perish on impact, or when fall to the cement pavement. We bring the injured to TRT for a 2nd chance
Seeing this in 2022. So yeah, starlings and blackbirds feed upside down, lol. I just bought one yesterday and right away this morning, there they were.
Solar or battery-operated?? I don't have an acre-long extension cord.
Thank you
The hairy one showed up on my deck yesterday..middle of GA. What a treat...
Banal Muzak was a bad choice. I came to this video because I wanted to hear Minnesota owl calls. I stopped watching within a few seconds. Try harder next time.
y570e vum.fyi
The starlings in my garden fly straight up, grab a bite and flitter down to the ground. They repeat this until they are full... and then some
You gotta be kidding me why don't you do a biological study about residences who DO NOT want these rats around anybody's home that these flying rats will overrule and destroy year after year in one huge colony forcing you to spend hundreds of dollars of barriers, and who's gonna pick up the pile bird shit everwhere from their babies above in a rat-infested mud hut, then who's gonna destroy that nest you'll have to hire pest control.
Had a bird just chilling with us in the yard doing the seet sound. Back and forth with its friend. I didn't see the hawk but it just sat and watched us the entire time we were outside.
We have chickens in Minnesota and we heard something that sounded like a human trying to iThat was like screaming like a bird and my grandma thought it was a hawk and we saw she was freaked out but I’ve listen to tons of hawk sounds and none of them like the one that we heard so watching this video kind of helped but I still don’t really know what it was
I found a page on your website encouraging people to feed the birds mealworms. Please pay attention that TOO MANY MEALWORMS KILL THE BIRDS. Mealworms, peanuts and sunflower hearts are full of phosphates which causes the calcium level of the blood and the bones to decrease so drastically that the bird or the reptile cannot even stand on her feet anymore and painfully dies (A condition called MBD: Metabolic Bone Disease). Calculating the safe amount of mealworms to be fed is very hard so ask a specialist of birds before feeding the birds mealworms or keep it as low as possible. Please make corrections to the page on your website and inform other people as well about the danger of feeding birds mealworms and save lives.
Try an air powered shotgun.
The filthy, greedy starlings in my neighborhood have learned to identify the sound of a window opening with the crack of a BB gun a second or two later. This usually scares them off, for awhile...
Are bluebirds found in Minnesota? I love them, but not sure I've ever seen one in person.
Yes you have Eastern Bluebirds breeding there through summer.
Common Redpoll fun fact: in bright sunlight the red patch on their heads is iridescent, like a hummingbird's throat. ☺
Everyone needs to eat. If you put out a variety of food and you use the right kind of feeders there will be something for everyone, even the squirrels. Yes, starlings are greedy suet eaters and boisterous. But if you want to try to bend nature to your will then you must be one he'll of a miserable little tyrant. Starlings are also beautiful. Watching a flock of them fly together in perfect unison is amazing. And watch how they feed their babies. Appreciate nature for what it is rather than trying to control it.
"bend nature to your will" Like farming? Building a house for shelter? Harvesting cotton for clothing? Eating chicken?
@@OnlyEdandTheAlmost Sorry, but there's a difference between working with the environment to produce things that people actually need to live. People don't need to have a bird feeding hobby. It's a hobby that's all it is. In most environments the birds will survive without us. So if you're going to have that hobby then maybe realize that the whole point of bird feeding is to be bird watching. Watching nature, that is, not trying to control it. That's my point. Futhermore , Starlings were brought into the United States by Europeans, and technically they are an invasive species. And you know who's to blame for that? One guess. People. Trying to manipulate nature, and now some people complain because some other people 150 years ago brought an invasive species into the United States and of course the solution is just to kill and torture the poor birds who had nothing to do with it and are just trying to survive. People created the problem and now the response is to blame the birds and kill them. Why not? People are assholes.
@@remnantwarrior1779 Haha. Maybe you'll end up in starling hell. What goes around comes around. Hope you never have to go hungry. But I'll bet you were one of those folks who filled up ypur shopping cart with 100 rolls of TP a year ago and then complains that innocent birds are greedy.
We've had starlings cling to our upside down bird feeder. They were motivated. Ground covered in snow.
You have to continuously trap starlings and house sparrows to even have a fighting chance. Then kill them slowly and in the most inhumane way possible. It works
Lovely. Thank you.
Can you do a video on the difference between the calls of the pileated woodpecker vs the northern flicker? I'm pretty sure we've heard both around our place, but not sure
I piliated woodpecker is a very big bird, maybe the size of a quail maybe. But the Piliated woodpecker does a loud "Ki ki ki ki" type call. and a northern flicker has more of a "metalical" type voice and can make a "Peough" type noise.
I don’t know why this myth continues to persist because sadly, starlings CAN indeed feed from these inverted feeders with very little difficulty. 👎🏻
Even though they are not technically blackbirds they are classified together with them in many hunting jurisdictions, making them legal to shoot. I would check your local hunting laws and if you live in an area where it is safe to shoot I would do so. These birds are more then just backyard bullies. They are invasive and doing major damage to many of our native species. Our native birds have a hard enough time with humans destroying their habitats. They don't need invasive birds stealing what little they do have. A pellet gun will do the trick and it's not loud so it won't scare off your other birds for long.
Tried them all.doesn't work.
