So nice ❤❤❤

Oh it's a cotton ball

When the female (2nd one who entered and noticed the new changes on visit 3) was noticing the hole entrance she seemed to look at the camera like “thank you big monster for helping us”

Hi. It is very interesting for me. I am from Montreal, so we still have pretty cold weather over here. It is second year I build a few different bird houses starting last spring but probably I placed few of these houses too late while other ones are still not populated. To tell you true I am a bit disappoinetd. This year I moved one to differrent place but with a lot of birds around in rural area but as I checked a week ago it was still available. I suspect it its because I placed a plastic protection entrance tube to be sure squerrels and other predators will not destroy a nest. A week ago I placed another 4 bird house and up to now I do not have any information about bird visits. I hope they will. What kind of camera did you use to monitor birds?

great accidental ASMR

Cool...what box and camera do you use?

Can you tell me what's happening with the birds now? I do hope they are building their nest now and would love to see how they go about it.

Are Mini and Pip nesting in one of yout boxes this year? I enjoyed watching them the last two years. Thank you so much 👍

This is a wonderful video. Admittedly I've never looked for one showing how the birds choose a nest so this is the only set of videos like this that I've seen and I'm so impressed. I know the birds search a few nests in their region before making up their minds but didn't realise just how difficult they can be to please and this is a beauty of a nest box!!! Strange and a bit worrying that the birds seem to be a bit on the large size for the size of recommended hole. I've a set of 3 special wooden look-alike nest boxes made from sort of recycled tyres I believe which I bought for house sparrows and which I've hung together but I've never had any success, the few sparrows we have nowadays still preferring to nest somewhere under the horse roof. So my husband has altered one of the holes to hopefully encourage another pair of blue tits. Another one he has left for possibly great tits (will have to check the size they prefer as it might be to large) and one he has made a lot smaller and made into a "slit" style to hopefully persuade coal tits to nest. I know these birds, unlike sparrows, won't all nest so close together but I'm hoping one pair might use one of these boxes sometime. They've been up for years with no success but our garden doesn't really face the best way. I've noticed that a blue tit has begun to build a nest in our fancy non-wood nest box (can't remember what the combination of ingredients are but it feels like stone) so the male and female have obviously gone through their ritual of choosing but I still didn't realise how fussy they are. We had a pair of nesting blue tits a few years ago but the male must have been dropped on his head as a chick as he seemed to keep forgetting where the nest was. The female often had to follow him around begging for food and he just couldn't seem to see her. And it wasn't as though he was a frequent visitor at the nest either. Felt a few times like shouting "she's behind you" as he would fly around aimlessly as though stoned out of his tiny brain! Needless to say, with her having to try to feed the chicks on her own, the nest failed. Shuggy, as I called him, seemed to visit the nest more often after Esmerelda had abandoned it than he did while she was trying to keep their chicks warm! There had been at least some live chicks but their twitterings sadly didn't last for long with so useless a father. Hoping your nest is successful as this pair do seem to be very thorough. I'll be tunning in to watch with great interest as they build their nest and raise their family. Thanks so much for making these magnificent videos. I've only watched about 4 so far but will catch up in the next few days so I've an idea of what is going on in my nest. Moira

So sweet ~ such a beautiful little bird💕

Most resources online recommend a diameter of 28 mm for bluetits and 32 mm for greattits. Thanks for sharing these videos.

Is that thing in the middle of your garden where there are people walking about? If so bluetits might think twice, they scarper from the birdfeeder every time I head out the back door and that's like 7 metres away. Maybe move it somewhere more secluded and higher up

3:48 - lol she pecks him to get out

I wish there was an easy way to tell the birds apart. Is it always the same one and just occasionally an additional one? Is the pair alternating? We need rings!

I'm a-watching. Cmon birdies, spring is here :)

I still don't understand what he's doing.

Yippy, you have a nest scrape.

when are they going to start building? And it seems they are unhappy with the opening

Les than a minute . Let himdrink

What happened here? These little guys had it all decked out in beautiful vegetation.

I've noticed that in all the videos, the burr/splinter on the entrance seems to be annoying them, they seem to be trying to remove it without success

Man, keep posting. 🙌

What an informative video. Some birds will always peck the nest box. The male has to get the box to the female's specs. In this case they maybe removing any sharp edges, it looks like a new nest box. Once the hatchlings are in full swing the adults will be going in and out of that entrance 100's of times a day.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

sure are taking their time. Sumer is going to be over before they get it going.

Beautiful nest and amazing birds❤

I have the blue tits nest in my garden, when I did enlarge the nest hole the birds disapeared for two weeks but luckily they return back

thanks for sharing is the camera wirless ?

Apparently, they think the doorway needs a little altering!

So sweet❤❤

Man, they really hate that spikey bit in the entrance there. Can't you take some sandpaper to it or something?

They move so quickly and stiffly, they don't look real. So delightful to watch ❤.

💕 Wow🤍🤍🤍💙🤍🤍🤍

So happy to have an upon this. Thank you so much I will be a regular viewer.

What camera do you use?

Can you call it a nest yet?

Barney and Betty...lol

3:40 and 4:03 are timestamps of the two birds respectively perched on the entrance hole, notice the more prominent white tail markings on the second bird. First bird behaviour in the box is typical of a female, with plenty of nesting shuffles and checking the inside of the box thoroughly, second bird more interested in the entrance hole (or doesn't like the hole size!)

какой диаметр летка ?

Loving these videos 😊 I am curious as to why you tilted your nestbox.

Fingers crossed they move in, can't wait for more videos!

How cute they are! ❤❤❤❤ I can't wait for them to start building a nest there 🤞

They probably won't make a decision until the weather warms up a bit, as they want to time the hatchings to occur when there is a population explosion of green caterpillars (they feed their chicks a very wide variety of critters, but the green caterpillar is the preferred grub).

What are they doing all of these days

they keep messing with the screws on the floor, do you think it bothers them?

😅😅 I love how this bird visit, inspect and take all the measures of this house before any decision hhhh

For whatever reason the nest cavity floor is importent even though they pile several layers over nesting materials over it.
