26th May 2021 - Another walkabout + a brief starling beak - Blue tit nest box live camera highlights

[@eshalrafiq1999]

For the people asking, the greyed out part is a dead baby bird. If you look at the other parts before this, you can see there was a baby bird that was part of the nest whos leg got stuck and it died of the cold and hunger.

Yes, at some points it might seem hard to watch but at the end of the day these birds and all creatures are amazing to watch….of course from a distance. So thank you for putting these videos up.

Covering dead chick in the science footage is just ridiculous. Death is the most natural thing in this world so if you making serious video (not a story for kids) do not censor it.

[@DawnTyrantEo]

@@js-wy8fg While it's a 'nature documentary', it's worth considering that unlike most of them, this particular dead chick is an animal that people have gained emotional attachment to over the course of weeks of its life, in a series that most people will watch because chicks and their parents are very cute interacting. It's also worth considering that it's going to continuously decay in the corner of the screen until removed- even in a roughly-comparable series (e.g Meerkat Manor), the developers would minimise exposure to decaying baby animals. Censoring it is a reasonable choice given the audience and subject matter.

After I watched the 25 of May video, now I understand why there was a black box in the bottom right corner. I had watched the 21 days video and not known why it was there, no I know.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

This is a form of natural selection. Something was wrong with the chick that wandered out. Instincts are hardwired genetically for the best survival rate. Those that have weird behavior get ignored so that their break from instincts will not be perpetuated in the next generation. Baby chick did NOT stay in nest, if this nest was made outside a sealed box, that chick would have fallen to its death anyways or get eaten by a wandering predator. Plus, wandering chicks can lead predators to the nest so the wanderer is in fact a threat to the safety of the entire family. That's why the parents ignored it. Why waste energy feeding a chick that would most likely NOT survive to adulthood anyways. For us human beings this is cold-hearted, but we don't realize that our personal compassion works for our species. We protect the weak because we don't need everyone to be strong and able-bodied to survive. In fact, we thrive by the numbers because something is provided by each member. Even those unable to take care of themselves fill a need. We all need love and support and we all need to feel needed. So taking care of the elderly and injured actually helps our mental stability. What we human beings need to understand is that our needs are not necessary the same as for all other life forms on the planet. The dead chick is for sure a sad event, but it is very natural and is actually beneficial to the strength of the species. Now the two chicks will have better feedings and grow stronger.

[@namanwarships8842]

[@windtalker4191]

So do they leave the dead chick there? It'll eventually rot and attract flies, or other insects, which probably increase the chance of disease and an unhealthy environment. In nature, that wandering chick would have just fell off the nest. I guess everything has a pro and con. This home provides a high level of safety from predators, but dead chicks are left in the nest to rot.

So this is a nature stream and you're blurring out a dead bird? Why? It's part of nature.

[@Camper_Lv]

why do you want to see dead bird?

[@ultraspinalki11]

@@Camper_Lv because it's part of nature? The cycle of life? That's like blurring out a dead prey in the middle of a lion pride just because "eww, it's death".

[@Camper_Lv]

@@ultraspinalki11 Death is still a death. Not everyone wishes to see that. There are different people in world, so lets respect that.

[@veganfortheanimalsdee6637]

Yet the people that dont want to see the dead bird, probably eat dead animals. I will NEVER understand the hypocrisy.

[@vangxiong9643]

Blurring it out bcuz there's weak minded people, they will have nightmares for years if they see something dead

I had been watching the videos in the wrong order, I thought the Grey area was a time stamp or something like that. it finally makes sense

[@amandaroman3471]

Reminds me of my abusive mother.... “See look what happens when you want to act all grown and sneak out like that... now your screwed aren’t you. Too bad - your all grown now right so take care of yourself - good luck!” When I was 12 I snuck out and went downtown with a friend from school and was hit in my ankle by a stray bullet. I almost bled to death. Passed out from blood Loss but She refused to take me to the hospital. It went in sideways and grazed the bone and went clean thru- made a big hole - there’s only a tiny layer of skin on it now - I can’t begin to explain the excruciating pain I felt for years - almost 40 and my mom still scares the hell out of me.

Rewatching the other sibling explore with context on what the grayed area is...

[@themishraji09]

Thanx for this dear

[@tiffinstingkatssimple9112]

That nest must be deep enough for 2 full fledglings to dwell inside

[@williamhansen1211]

I also have a nestbox with a family of great tit. But unfortunately no camera. Maybe next year.

Whys she always neglecting to feed the chick on the right?

[@normalhuman78-53]

The other one is stronger and able to get her attention more easily. Survival of the fittest and whatnot.

[@irasac1]

She feeds the one who begs the most

[@TheGava4]

Where is the chick who wondered off? Its not there. Did they eat it or something??😳😳

[@dawidjagusiak]

I think its behind the grey rectangle on the screen, it died.

[@izzij3599]

It's behind the grey box and its covered to prevent any grief to viewers.

[@officebear4637]

izzi j if people get grief over a bird that we barely knew for 2 weeks who died they really need to toughen up. Yes it's sad but to grieve over it and to hide it from view? Come on the livestreamer is acting like we're a bunch of children who need to be protected from reality.

[@Camper_Lv]

@@officebear4637 I think it's more for author then us. Text in description ain't making him sound very happy.

[@bizwashere]

@@officebear4637 Okay, Mr. Edgy McEdge.

[@ciphetrix7872]

Where is the adventurous chick? Is it behind the grey box?

[@officebear4637]

Yeah they hid it from view because apparently some people can't handle a dead hatchling.

[@sdgna]

watch the video from the day prior

[@ALovelyLad]

6:30 yikes…

[@fawnajohnson6130]

Me : Oh, that's sad. That other chick behind the censor bar didn't make it. Also me: *other chick's inner dialogue* You have been bested, for I am the stronger brother/sister!
