    I watched it live this spring :) The takeaway is to feed the rescued chick every 15 minutes or less, and before, you may provide mealworms nearby to help the parents feed better the young chicks so they have higher success rate to grow up and fledge healthy :) Thank you very much for the video, for all the hard work and your care! Best regards from Bulgaria!

    Hello from Germany, my english is not very good, i hope you understand it. i am absolutly fascinated of your Birdvideos. I wish i could see this live in my Garden. I have many of these Houses in my trees, but i dont know, how to film or livestream this. Above all the livestream ob my tv is nesessary for me. Would you share the name of your Equipment with me? It would be unbelievble! Greetings!

      Hello from Scotland! Your English is very good.
      I have written a guide on how to put the camera box up and stream the video from it on my website, www.campcookexplore.com/exploring/bird-watching-in-aberdeenshire/how-to-install-a-wireless-bird-box-camera/.
      The company I used don't seem to make the box I used anymore but they have a slightly different one, gardenature.co.uk/pages/wifi-bird-box-camera-system.
      It's an enjoyable thing to do and reasonably straight forward to do.

      Unfortunately the box has stayed empty for the last 2 years although I did have a pair in it looking around 2 days ago, which is very late to start nesting. The weather has been pretty weird this year.
      I would try and keep your cat in when they fledge, they hop around on the ground for a couple of days and are very vulnerable. A shame for Mr Cat but he can't help do what he does.

    • @CampCookExplore
      @CampCookExplore  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks! I have a couple of plates for the hole, I used the 28mm one.
      You can use 25mm for blue, coal and marsh tits. 28mm for great tits, tree sparrows and pied flycatchers. 32mm for house sparrows and nuthatches.
      Robins like a different style of box with an open front and no entry hole. You get boxes with a detachable front panel so that robins will use it.

    • @CampCookExplore
      @CampCookExplore  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They'll lay 8-14 eggs, one per day and then start Incubating.
      Typically it's then about 14 days of Incubating and the chicks leave the nest after 18 days.

    Can I put straw in my bird house? Will it attract birds or will it scare them away?

    • @CampCookExplore
      @CampCookExplore  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I looked this up a couple of years ago. It will scare them away. They only use empty boxes so we need to empty them each autumn. They either think the box is already in use or don't trust nests they haven't built themselves.
      You can leave nesting material a few metres from the box and they will pick it up and use it. I bought some sheep wool, designed for this purpose, and they did use it.

    • @CampCookExplore
      @CampCookExplore  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      They tap the walls with their beaks to check if it's sturdy and measure it out by flapping around. They need the space to flap to make the nest the right shape. It looks really weird!

      @James-bw4np หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is called 'scraping' and seems to be done inside tree hollows as well, seen Kestrels and Barn Owls do it as well. Not sure of the purpose but is usually a sign that they do want to nest in that location. Someone out there probably knows if ya can't find out through google.

      The box came with two metal plates for the hole. 25 mm is for blue, coal and marsh tits & 28 mm for great tits. I used the 28mm one as I have blue, coal and great tits in the garden.

    With 28 mm, have you had any problem with the sparrows getting into the nest house?

    • @CampCookExplore
      @CampCookExplore  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, none at all. The only birds that went in were blue & great tits. It was a bit of a squeeze for the great ones. I have lots of sparrows but they need 32mm hole, I think.

    Hi, love the video.
    I'm not an expert but when you look at the footage at 38:32 when parent shows up, one of the chicks swollow something looking like a very big nut. When I saw that the first time before your ending description I said to myself "that is imposible to be diagested by this little fellow". What do you think? Could that be a reason the chick felt unwell?

    • @CampCookExplore
      @CampCookExplore  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The sick chick is the one at the back right at that time. I think what he feeds them is a bit of suet from a bird feeder so it would have been soft enough. They can choke on things like peanuts though.

      You'll see both the parents going in with green caterpillars. Each chick needs about 100 of them a day.
      If they haven't hatched yet then the mum will be spending all her time Incubating them so you'll see the dad bringing her food.

    Maybe the mom or dad fed the baby something that got stuck in its gut. Working digestion and excretion is a huge part of living. I suffer with IBS, so I can tell you that I feel sick just about every day. So, when your flow isn't moving at the right speed, you kinda wish you were dead.
