Am looking forward to this year's installment! I have eastern bluebirds in my backyard nestbox. Their babies fledged last weekend, so we went to clean out the box only to find they're already working on round two! Mama Bluebird must have laid an egg the day after the babies left the nest! I'm really impressed.
Aww delighted Fionn. I remember when you had the little competition to name them!! Glad the names stuck and delighted they brought a little brood into the world successfully after such trauma!!
You didn't cry. You're like everyone else on youtube comments, attention seeking and "like" hunting. "IM CRYING! I HAVE CHILLS! I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS" You people in every. single. video. You got your "likes" though, was the dopamine hit good enough?
@@FionnODonoghue just built a box for bluetit, don't much about them I like to attract them,so where did you mount and locate your box? Is on the edge of a house a good place towards the back yard? I have it bout 6,7ft above ground.
Beautiful story that they finally got in and triumph getting their babies growing up and flying out 😢. I enjoy watching them working hard 😓 blessings to you to for help them
I know life happens and we don't know what happens to people whose content we enjoy, but I hope this guy is okay! I really do enjoy his videos or did enjoy his videos, sometimes I go back rewatch them. Just a fan hoping to see some more work in the future by Fionn.
Thank you for this :), life did just get in the way, unfortunately, new job , moving etc etc... ! but happy to say that I am gearing up to wrap up this season up and will be presenting a 2025 season :) Thanks again for the kind comment 🙏
I love your videos. So informative. I didn’t realise how lack of food for one day could lead to a tragic result. 😢 We currently have a nesting pair of blue tits in a new box near our shed and are worried about cutting the lawn in the next few weeks in case we scare the parents away from the nest. Do you think that us spending time in the garden for an hour and the noise of the mower will put them off returning?
We had a nesting pair of Bluetits in our small garden, their box was attached to the garden shed, and we carried on as normal, mowing the lawn, watering the plants, and entertaining guests just a few meters from the nest. The birds were unfazed and just carried on rearing their chicks until they all left the nest a few days ago.
The chick which fell from the nest is returned. He speaks to his siblings. "Yeah, we're gonna need feathers before we leave home. Good thing our neighbor is an angel, else I wouldn't have made it back to tell all of you."
One chick is in my garden at the moment . Below the box I have on my shed . There’s a lot of cats around we’re I live. Should I put him back in the box ?
It was nice to see these little birds. There are so few of them left.I regularly feed them with sunflower seeds. Make an elongated (vertical) house so that birds of prey do not enter
To protect a nest box from cats and other predators, you could install sort of a cage without the front wall made of wire mesh around the entrancle hole. This will block anything larger than parent birds from actually getting near the front of the nest box where the hole is. If a bird box is installed on a tree trunk, I believe there are wire cat deterrents available to buy, to put around the trunk below. Still, the latter solution will not protect from i.e. predatory birds or squirrels who could jump from one tree to another.
Thank you for sharing the videos. Nature is amazing and shows us lessons of perseverance and diligence. May I ask if the 4 chicks or the parents come back to lay eggs in the same bird house this year 2023?
I have bird feeders,,. but they don't feed their chick's peanuts and seeds, and the caterpillars they feed on were sold out at the shops .... So not so questionable logic, but thanks for the concern
oh my goodness finally she made it, they are so amazing. thankyou so much for this video, i love this so much thankyou 🤍
Incredible story telling. Great video.
Thanks Sammy :)
Aww what a dramatic and bautifull story! Im crossing fingers for this year! You saved the chick💙
What a journey these two little birds have been on. I look forward to the next season to see how they fare. Thanks for the video!
Your Very welcome 🙏, thanks for watching!
👏 *FANTASTIC* What a joy and a delight, after 3 years, to finally see success. And bravo Fionn, well done indeed. (🇨🇦) xox

So glad you're back, was worried you started other projects, leaving this one in limbo. Thank you, very enjoyable content.

Thank you so much First time I see a nest so closed by 💞💟
The last chick leaving was so moving, loved this, thank you :)
What a crazy journey! So nice to have found your channel. I loved watching the live streams!
Thanks a million for watching !
I'm so glad they finally had a successful year. They have just put so much effort into everything, but nature is cruel sometimes.
It is ! but thats what makes the success stories all that much sweeter ! thanks for watching !

Hello i didnt understand what you told here and what happened with a human hair
Lovely video! I have grown so attached to these little birds. I wonder if they will be back this year! Thanks for posting :)
I hope so! Thanks for watching !

God Almighty is so great and caring ❤

Hooray😊
One chick is in my garden at the moment . Below the box I have on my shed . There’s a lot of cats around we’re I live. Should I put him back in the box ?
He has feathers on him and seems pretty healthy just unsure what to do
Why didn't you place a bird feeder in the area? This started off cute, but now I'm sad.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What kind of bird is this?
To protect a nest box from cats and other predators, you could install sort of a cage without the front wall made of wire mesh around the entrancle hole. This will block anything larger than parent birds from actually getting near the front of the nest box where the hole is. If a bird box is installed on a tree trunk, I believe there are wire cat deterrents available to buy, to put around the trunk below. Still, the latter solution will not protect from i.e. predatory birds or squirrels who could jump from one tree to another.
Is it necessary to remove last years nest?
Thank you for sharing the videos. Nature is amazing and shows us lessons of perseverance and diligence. May I ask if the 4 chicks or the parents come back to lay eggs in the same bird house this year 2023?
Nice play by play replay!
Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks for watching
So you intervened to free the mother but couldn’t intervene with a bird feeder? That’s some questionable logic.
I have bird feeders,,. but they don't feed their chick's peanuts and seeds, and the caterpillars they feed on were sold out at the shops .... So not so questionable logic, but thanks for the concern
Don’t think anyone can tell if the same pair have returned for three years
Momma got some fight in her at 12 minutes
Wait last vid I watched on this wasn't from you but got 70 million views but yours gets a tiny fraction.
Different Channel I'm afraid, maybe one day haha
Cursed nest, always has troubles.
It ends well ultimately :)
cut up little piece off meat leave beside the door,,for hard times...
