Thank you. It truly is a blessing to be able to capture such moments like these with the young, innocent blackbirds. I hope she is fine too, but I hear them not too far away and hopefully she is there with them. Or maybe take a well deserved break for a few days! I've never heard of 4 blackbird nests in one season!
I had a nest in my driveway with 3 babies, they were attacked at about 14 to 16 days old by a crow that came repeatedly successfully taking two babies in the first two days. I started protecting the last one evrytime i heard commotion outside. By then we had the crow and a magpie frequenting the nest. Last chick fledged or was attacked but i ran out hearing a commotion and found it upside down on the concrete while multple small birds tried to fend off the crow. Took the baby into my care for 5 days, and i let the cage stay outside when im home, so its parents were around it most of the time. I released it back to the parents and i hope he survived to adulthood
what a great video and what a privilege to see all of this happens in your own garden. Hope the female blackbird is fine.
