    Recap:
    Babies are fed.
    Woodpecker begins intrusion.
    After a couple of minutes it can now enter the nest and takes the first baby.
    Parent returns and notices the enlarged entrance, and notices one of the babies missing.
    Parent recognizes presence of another bird outside, which is the Woodpecker. Woodpecker attacks and pulls parent out.
    Woodpecker subsequently takes another baby.
    And another.
    And another.
    Parent returns to see less babies (final time parent is seen).
    Woodpecker returns to take remaining babies.
    My guess is that the babies were abandoned by the remaining parent, because I think when the Woodpecker pulled the other parent out it was either injured, killed or just abandoned the nest.

      The first parent (mother) likely died off screen. The second parent (father) the less aware and bigger bird likely followed soon after for the pecker to have casual access like that.

      @@PeowPeowPeowLasers true, but birds are smart, woodpeckers will see bird boxes as a "easy meal" rather than finding natural wild nests. Birdboxes may as well have a "Diner" of "cafe" neon sign on the front. Birds nesting in them should at least have some safety, as far as they know, its pretty safe and sturdy, knowing not of the wood structure sometimes being rather weak in itself, they put trust in relative safety, to be let down, and yes, if.. Woodpeckers find a natural nest hole with inhabitants, they can get into them, but taking a lot longer, and way more chances of parent birds coming back and driving woodpecker away.. Maby?, but a vast majority I'd say, of nest boxes are just so quick and easy to raid, reducing parents chances of catching said woodpecker in action, thats all.. He says 😂

    I have a woodpecker just like this who comes to my feeders and I love him. Makes me sad to see a similar woodpecker killing these poor baby blue tits, but that's just nature I guess. I'd put a metal guard around the nest box hole to prevent the woodpecker from being able to widen the hole and reach the babies.

    @ColumbiaB 4 года назад +11

    This shows that if you put up nest boxes for Eurasian Blue Tits or other smaller species in that area, you need to install metal plating to prevent predators from enlarging the entrance hole.
    It is certainly natural for woodpeckers to prey on nests. But boxes that attract birds to nest in them create an unnatural •situation• of vulnerability to such predation, because they are easier for predators to find than are natural nest cavities, and it’s easier for predators to enlarge the entrance of a box (compared to one in a tree trunk) to get to eggs or nestlings.
    So if you set up nest boxes, you should be conscientious about taking steps to mitigate the ways in which they may render the birds who use them unusually vulnerable to predation.
