Well done Fionn
Thank you for this.. 🙏🏼
The World needs more good and Animal loving people like you
I very much enjoyed watching the 2021 nesting season. Thank you Fionn!
For the 2021 season.. did just 2 of the 6 chicks survive?
So educational, love this!!
Love your videos! I'm now obsessed!
You make money off these cams saving the birds is the leset you can do
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.
Thank you for that 😁
I don't understand why us humans can always interfere in bad ways, but helping is so often frowned upon. You can build a parking lot, but not feed animals starving during a unusual winter
Nothing natural about whatever litter she got tangled up in to put her in that situation. Thank you for helping.
@@theshadowfax239 You're right. That piece of string or ribbon was man-made, so it was up to humans to correct the situation.
Yes do interviene, always interviene, maybe that it is why you were there precisely to interviene! Please
I only realized how tiny those birds are when I saw your hand :( You have amazing heart caring for them. Bless you.
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.
Its a fucking bird
@@SauerGustavo You have no heart.
@@LadySugarcube Lmao. He's right it is a fking wild bird not a little puppy or a pet bird. Wtf do you expect is gonna happen? Do you own windows on your house? You're heartless because wild birds run into them and die because they can't see that it's glass. Shut up.
@@50zezima Let me guess, you’re 12 years old? Maybe 13 at a push?
@@sammy4282 You are probably right, my guess is 12 years! 🤣
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.
And that is why humans invented doors with locks. I am sure birds would loved that invention!
@@davidthedeaf and countries build border walls!
The most important detail of a nest box is the size of the entrance.
It needs to be small enough
for the intended bird species to just squeeze through.
To keep birds of prey, and the arch enemy, the squirrels out... 🐦🐿
I have experienced sparrows nesting on top of bluebird nests in my boxes. They also poke holes other bird's eggs. Trapping /removing sparrows has helped greatly and now see more of other bird species in my area.
There are a number of sparrow trap ideas on YT.
👍
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 if you feed the squirrels then they would have significantly less urge to attack bird nests
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.
Her fight between survival and her mother instinct is such a life lesson. Thanks for sharing this video and intervening.
Thanks for watching 🙏😁 you might be interested in the 2021 nesting season, check it out if you like 😁
TH-cam recommended the whole series, now I am just sad
Don't be ! They started nesting again in 2021, hopefully this year will see some chick's fledge🤞 thanks for watching 🙏
Yeah I didn't watch the video. We had our own disaster.
Same, I binged the whole series last night except this last video. I didn't know what was ahead for today.
Right 😭😭😭
Tragic happens all the time everywhere.. learn to live with it..
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.
Thank you !
Sadly, that was just a tragic accident. I'm glad you were able to help her. 🥰
You explained everything so perfectly.
Thank you!
You tried. You saved her X
And you're right. There have been a lot of nestbox cams on TH-cam.
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.
Step in when Nature needs your help. You don't always need to watch tragedy unfold needlessly.
He saved her? After watching it for so long?! He put this trap outside and helped much too late He killed nearly all the birds!
Damn
When your comfort zone becomes a deadly trap
Happens to lot of people.
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 ✌🏼🙏🏼💕
Who would've thought this could also happen...they got tough lifes..
Thanks for keeping her alive!
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!
Thanks for that :) thanks for watching 🙏😁
Agree-talk about BIG time PTSD! 😱😭💔
They were good parents. So sad it ended this way. I hope her foot is okay.
It seemed to be she came back and nested again this year :) you can follow her on my page 😁
@@FionnODonoghue Just found your channel today, now im obsessed
This would have never happened if Trump was still President. I blame Biden 100%
@@matthewjohnson2495 Where's the "just kidding"........
@@cryptikkcries If I was joking I would have done the lol
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 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.
Well done Fionn. Unfortunate end but a very well put together series, look forward to future ones
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!
Thank you for that so glad your enjoying them !
Thank you. Nature is tough and we don't have to hesitate in help animals if we can.
Thank you for doing this! And for helping Biddy. It’s important for us to help animals when they need us. :)
Thank you for that !
I'm glad you were there bro, thanks for doing what you do. I enjoy the vids
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.
Aww, that’s so sad. Glad she is doing well now, though.
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 💞
A great series Fionn. Very well done. Heartbreaking to see this conclusion 😥
But you done a great job, well done
Aww.... 💚😟 Thanks for your videos and for saving Biddy. Until next one xx
Bittersweet. Thank you for saving Biddy. ♥
P.S. LOVE your accent! 😊
Thank you, Glad your enjoying !
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.
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.
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.
Do people usually do that and think that way? I'm seeing abunch of comments saying the same and I just didn't know people did that
@@PotatoMaGobinus Yeah I don't understand why people ever thought that was something they should do. Birds have survived millions of years without us. No need to interfere.
@@PotatoMaGobinus I've seen enough pigeons with missing toes and some with hair tightly wound on dying toes, to know hair is bad.
I also own cockatiels and had them get tangled in the hair still on my head. A pain for both of us but since it's dealt with immediately it doesn't get super tight or anything and I usually wouldn't have to even cut the hair.
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 .
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
What a wonderful job of video. He’s been so informative and helpful.
Well done for intervening x
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 much joy watching during hard times during pandemic 2021. Thank u from California USA 💕😊
Thank you very much for sharing. I just found your videos and I truly enjoy them. Subscribed of course😊 blessings
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.
You're doing good work, thanks for the update, glad Biddy was able to be freed and mother further chicks.
Just subscribed. Looking forward to your videos. You did the right thing.
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.
Just recently found your site and enjoy it so much. I agree with you about the silver lining. Keep up your good work!
Thanks for that and thanks for watching :) Newest video just out :)
Unfortunate end Fionn but a fantastic series, I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to all of your future videos!
Wow. So Sad. Thanks for sharing this and for saving Her. Thankfully you were there.
Sorry about the sad ending. A great nest diary, onwards and upwards.
A sad end but a fantastic videos - really enjoying watching them and others you are doing.
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.
Awww how sad :( thankfully she survived. I well done on saving her. Thanks for the videos 🤗
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!
All sentient beings are precious. TH-cam recommended this and I’m so delighted. Beautiful work.
Thank you be sure to check out this years videos if you are interested ! Thanks for watching !
Sentient? Probably auto-correct...
@@kneedeepinbluegrass3086 Exactly: auto stinky correct. 😊Thanks for the message. I will correct. 🙏🏼
@@kneedeepinbluegrass3086 They are sentient? What would ever make you think they aren't?
@@panjamysy lol. Auto correct had the original word as "sentiment".
Thank you for the story!! Glad you saved the bird!!!
I'm so glad you intervened!
Thank you for doing this!
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
. ❤
That's great to hear ! Hope you continue to enjoy them ! Thanks
So nice! thank you for share! Greetings from Brazil!
What a tragic end and thankful that at least `Biddy survived. Thank you , will stay tuned.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing this amazing journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Unfortunate end to the series. But thats nature i suppose! Can't wait to see what you bring out next! 😁
What a good photographer you are. Thank you for filming such interesting wildlife. Watching from USA 🇺🇸
Poor baby. TY for saving her.
Bravo for!!!!! you and your praiseworthy actions that you are doing!!!!!
Thank you for saving her 💗
From Illinois USA
Thank you Fionn!!
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.
You are an angel, young man! 🙏👍🥰
Thank you for that ! thanks for watching !
Why don’t you help them
@@lyriathomas6628 bruh you think we are what, spiderman? we cant climb those tall ass trees to help any birds.. your comment made no sense. if we could fly then yes we could help.
Thank you for helping her.
the female bird went through psychological treatment and has fully recovered
A support site on Twitter? Sorry, I couldn't resist. LOL!
Just captivating stuff. I'm obsessed!
Thank you ! Check out this year's if you like :) th-cam.com/play/PLuuktDAywiA8qynw0aKFB394oaIh5BiC9.html
Thank you for talking to us.😊🥰
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.
Interesting it has been an unusual spring this year definitely ! Thanks for watching 🙏😁
Come on, meal worms don't cost that much.
Well done mate please keep it up I’m waiting for the next one
Thank you :) Head to my page and go to playlists This video was 2 years ago now so if you like you have last years Videos to enjoy if you like that is ! Thanks for watching Fionn.
Thanks for rescuing Biddy ❤️
Thank God you were able to help her. What you're doing here is great..thank you.
Thanks for that ! Thanks for watching, she actually came back to try again this year, feel free to check out if interested !
@@FionnODonoghue I sure will, thanks;)
Bitter sweet ending. Looking forward to next year. Great job on saving Biddy!
Thanks ! this was actually last year ! Check out this year if interested ! th-cam.com/play/PLuuktDAywiA8qynw0aKFB394oaIh5BiC9.html Thanks for watching !
@@FionnODonoghue Thanks for the reply. I watched the time lapse with my 90 year old grandfather. He has house wrens that nest in a little wooden house on his back deck. He LOVES them. He's an old country guy who always had feeders and just loves watching the birds. Thought about trying to put a camera in that house this winter but they've been using it for so long, I'm afraid they'd notice someone messing with it and not come back so I said forget it. Might put up a new one and see if anything bites. We'll see.
Thank you for helping ❤
Thank G-d you where able to help them.🌷💕🙏🏽
God bless you for intervening.
.
Thank you for sharing this adventure!
Your welcome :) if you enjoyed it check out the 2021 Playlist 😁
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 👍
Interesting presentation, thanks, I learned something 👍👍👍
...and people throw yarn and string around for birds thinking it’s good for them.
Natural lambs fleece is good for nest lining.
The birds will pull out a "mouthfull" of wool. Then take it to their nests....🐦
Yarn and string is probably a lot less hazardous than human hair. At least it is possible to untangle these materials. Try to untangle long hair from a brush. Pretty much impossible. It is also a lot stronger than yarn and string. Tensile strength of hair is even stronger than steel.
Omg I thought it was good for them OMG
@@sophieevans3345 same when I was younger I thought the same!
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 yes they will take mouthfuls! In the wild they pluck fur off deer and sleeping foxes.
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
Thats great to hear you freed it ! and better yet it returned ! happy days !!!
Hi m8 a quick question, one of the chicks is out it’s nest box out my back door it can’t quite fly yet , I’m afraid a cat mite get it as there’s a few around here, should I just leave it or put it in a shoe box with wool to such time it can fly ?
@@duffers29 what did u end up doing?
@@dankdank7088 I put it on top of the nest box, it was the last bird to leave the mum kept coming back with food and trying to cox it to fly , i then thought it would be better to put it back inside the nest box this was after a couple of hours , when I went to put it in the box it flew lol , it was just testing me 😂
Great videos! thanks
Thank you for your efforts.
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.
He making a meal of this, is old Irish?..
Is amazing your dedication good job
Aww! Sad ending but I learned a lot! Thank you!
Thanks so much :) check out this year also Biddy came back to nest again ! new video coming out this evening :)
You're a good man Fionn
Ah Fionn, that's so sad. I'm so sorry for poor Biddy, Miley and their chicks. Thanks for your great efforts to show us their struggles and triumphs, I'm sorry the story didn't have a better ending
You have a great patience to do this hard work.excellent Vedio.thanks.
Thank you ! The editing can be tough sometimes but i really do enjoy it over all ! thanks for watching
Very educational. Thank you.
Thanks for watching you may enjoy this years nest box series check it out if you interested , 2021 nesting playlist 👍
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.
Bully Maguire that’s human logic, modern human logic at that. Animals can’t spare their strength to help those that can’t help themselves, the strong need their strength to ensure their own survival. That’s how it works.
Nature is rough and not fair , but the camera helped you save biddy's life. Thankful for the opportunity to see it through. Heating pad used on keeping abandon kittens alive was recommended by my vet. Would their be a possibility of installing a small one prior to the nest bring built? Here is the USA they make small ones. You'd only need to turn it on in an emergency as you had. We use one in winter for my sons turtle. Came in handy.
I'm very great full for saving Millie❣️
