From Eggs to Flight - Northern Mockingbird

- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- This Mockingbird couple has been in our yard for years. This particular nest was built in just a few days in a bush next to our house. When I noticed 2 eggs in the nest, I quickly set up a camera and left it there for the entire brood.
About 13 days of incubating and 13 days of eating and pooping and sibling rivalry before they get forced out of the nest by Mama to learn to fly. Enjoy!

Extraordinary video!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing journey with all of us 👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you!
Love how it settles into the nest it’s so heartwarming
Exactly what I needed to see. There's a nest in the bouganvillea arch just outside my kitchen window I noticed being built last week. And this week I see a tail sticking up out of it but no activity...now I understand it's the incubation period. Loved how the mockingbirds huddled during the storm. Great video!
Thanks for sharing! That's by far my favorite part...when they hunkered down during the storm.
I have two on my small palm right now!! Beautiful to watch
@@HB-yx5gb Awww that's so awesome!

Great story🎉❤
On day 7 of adorable quad baby northern mockingbird- a mama and daddy are nearby always
Day 7 is absolutely amazing to see! Thanks for the comment!
This is incredible!
Thank you!
Beautiful, I saw the whole video as i wanted to understand why my baby mocking birds that I rescued dissapear today and I could not find them. This video gives me hope that I might see them tomorrow in the garden , I just want to know they are alive and no cat ate them. Thank you for the video it is fabulous.
We thought the same thing when they left the nest. We were scared our cat got them. Thanks for commenting!
Same here too we had a baby mockingbird leave the nest and was trying to fly and then there was a storm and we haven’t seen him yet but I think he’s in the garden at my neighbors by the hostas
So cuteeeee currently have feldgers question looks like momma is eating what’s coming out of the nestlings butt like the poop??
I found a nestling on the ground the siblings somehow fell out of the nest with it car ran over all the other babies unfortunately one was the only one left turn set the nest to high so I picked it up so it wouldn't get run over what's best to feed them
I'm sorry. That's heart breaking. I've never tried to feed a nestling before. But I did learn a lot while making this video. It is normal for them to fall out of the nest and hop around on the ground crying out to their mother. The mother is watching over and still caring for them during this period. And after a few days, you'll see them start to fly and little bit with their mother in lower branches close to the ground.
The best thing to do I think is to keep predators away from them like cats during this vulnerable stage. I've never tried to feed one.
I’m watching this 3 years after the first 2 birds hatched. I wonder if they are still alive? Have bird kids of their own?
I'm guessing they are still alive. We have multiple active parents living in our yard year round. I wish I knew which ones are the babies or where they moved to. It's likely the babies grew up and found a different territory. The mockingbirds are very territorial by nature. And they bully and harass any other bird that comes in.
We have blue birds that also build a nest each year and the Mockingbirds try to scare them away but the blue birds hold their ground and stay.
Hello friend what Camera you are using to record 24 hours please let me know
It's a normal surveillance camera kit with an NVR. One meant for a house or business to overlook the property. I just zip tied one of the cameras to a pole that I hammered in the ground inside the bush.
Fantastic video! What camera did you use and how did you secure the camera on the tree?
@@omgbygollywow It was a surveillance camera for our property that I zip tied to a PVC pipe stuck in the ground.
What happened to the last egg? 🥺
There is one egg that disappeared that we couldn't figure out. Maybe it broke and she quickly removed it from the nest. I was unable to watch every single second of footage to find out what happened. And the last and 4th egg just never hatched. When I removed it from the nest weeks later, it fell apart. Thanks for commenting!
