Highlights of Mourning Doves from Eggs to Fledgling Chicks
Просмотров 213 тыс.2 года назад
Highlights (from many hours of video) of a pair of mourning doves as they raise their chicks and send them off. See the parents raise a brood of chicks (squabs) and encourage them to leave the nest. During the first 14 days, both parents take turns sitting on the two eggs, with almost constant occupation of the nest. And then during the next 14 days, both parents will feed the squabs by bringin...
Watch mourning dove nesting and the chicks get their first feeding

Here is a close up view of mourning doves in the wild and how they interact to incubate and then raise a brood of chicks. I believe that the mourning doves do communicate with each other as they take turns incubating the eggs and then feeding the nestlings. This video covers the first 15 days from when the second egg is laid to when they hatch and get their first feeding from both the mom and d...

So this is the last of a series of videos of the House Finch birds. I put together key moments during the 5 weeks when the House Finches make a nest, lay the eggs, and raise the six chicks until they are able to fly away on their own.

House Finch Chicks Outgrowing the Nest (Day 10)

All six chicks are growing up and seem to be eating constantly. The mom and dad House Finch parents are frantically taking turns making food runs from dawn to dusk. The chicks now range in age from 10 to 6 days old and seem to be as big as their parents! And now the mom doesn't even fit on the nest with the chicks!

Day 3 for House Finch chicks

A fourth House Finch bird hatches and competes for food I've been watching two House Finch birds diligently make a nest and then lay 6 eggs. The female bird has been patiently incubating the eggs for the last two weeks and three days ago the first two chicks hatched. During the next two days, two more chicks were hatched with the fourth one just hours ago. Take a look for those who are interested!

    I had a family of mourning doves nest in a small evergreen tree next to the front door this past summer, it was cute watching them grow up 💖🕊🕊 I miss them, but I hope the nest gets reused again next year! I still get plenty of doves in my backyard as I have a feeder, and I'm pretty sure one of the juveniles that came from the nest still visits frequently 😊

    Thanks for this video! I was riveted the entire time. For the past couple of months I've been feeding doves that come to my window sill and it's fascinating to watch them. I have a question that I'm hoping you could answer -- I've seen some young doves feeding, and whenever there's an older adult around, the young ones make peeping sounds and flutter their wings. Does this mean something? And sometimes the older adults try to chase them away from the food, but that could just be territorial behavior, I don't know if they're related.

    I love this video. The 2nd next my pair had had one baby that didn’t seem ready to go. I watched as the two would hop out of the nest, then fly a short distance, but quickly came back. The next day only one was left. I tried talking to the lone baby and said I know you can do it. I was worried maybe he couldn’t but I knew he had flown before. Apparently I scared him a bit and he took off to a nearby trailer, then to the roof, and now who knows…I’m sure he's one of the 30 that come for morning feedings I provide.

    Interesting fact!! Post fledge mom & dad continues feeding fledglings for 2-3 weeks. My backyard has been the training grounds for many generations of house finches as well as house sparrows. They are attentive parents. The fledglings will follow the parents mimicking their behaviors and when they are in want of a meal they open their mouths and do this little “shake/wiggle” with their body or wings it’s absolutely precious. I have some ornamental trees planted in whiskey barrels that they hide/play/learn to wipe their beaks etc.. it’s truly the best thing to watch! Now they are not fed by parents but they are “juveniles”.. they are at my window feeders but mom & dad still keep a watchful eye… they will watch from the tree or the pergola and if things get out of hand or if I make a sudden move in the window that appears as a threat to them (as it should- and not done on purpose), they do what they do and the kids fly just above to the roof.. I can see them peek over the gutter 😂… When you retire- watch birds… set up your backyard for the birds and open your curtains!!!

When the eggs first started hatching the mom startled when my husband opened the front door early in the morning (the nest is high up on my porch) when she took off a newly hatched baby must have been stuck to her and fell to the cement below. I gently scooped it up and placed it back in the nest, it was moving its mouth open slowly but I don’t know if it made it or not. There were 5 eggs initially and I can only count 4 baby’s, it’s day 11.

Today, I noticed that a baby (not sure how old but def stretching wings but not yet able to fly), and I'm not sure if it fell out of the nest or what to do. There is one in the nest that seems to be a bit bigger than the one on the porch. There has been a parent every day in the nest except today but have been close. Do I leave the baby on the porch (it found a safe spot under a table on my porch) and has been cuddled up there since I noticed it out of the nest. Do I leave it or put it back in the nest?

    2 days ago, there was a mourning dove in my garage (Day 13 size). It was flying all around the garage, but not getting out. Initially, I thought it was a big bird and let her out. But she had a small flight and sitting in my front yard, couldn't fly higher. Then googled and found it is baby and immediately went and took her back inside. Baby is not eating by herself, so I need to boil grains and grind them and fed her. Not sure what to do now. To leave her outback or to grow her until she is big and change it to an adult color.

Las crías seguirán a sus padres un tiempo más, fuera del nido para seguirse alimentando de ellos. Lo raro es que por lo general, siempre veo a los padres, sólo con un polluelo, quizás tenga que ver la taza de supervivencia por los depredadores y otros factores.
