A Fascinating Look at Baby Chickadees: Time-Lapse Video with Live Nest Box Cam
I built my first birdhouse as a way to get back into woodworking. I didn't think much about what I would do with that birdhouse. Eventually I put it outside and on a whim, I put a camera inside it. It was fascinating to watch the babies and parents inside! I've been videoing birds ever since.

I adore chickadees! The first time I got to experience my own fledglings was on a bright early morning. While the sun was streaming down in rays, all 6 of the fledglings popped out of the box, one by one, in unison and fell to the soft ground below. They looked like little angels descending from heaven! They got up real soon and flew off from the ground on which they landed after leaving the nesting box.

Wow, that's awesome!

Thank you for watching

I love how involved both parents are and also how fast that nest is built! My brood was a little smaller this year, but so far my chickadee house has successfully fledged 5/5 broods, plus one brood of Brown-headed Nuthatches (a bit unexpected but quite welcome). TY for this amazing view of what I can only listen to!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Awesome. I'd love to have Brown-headed Nuthatches nest in my box

[@mc12358]

@@BirdsWalkingDown it happened once then the Chickadees came back. Both species are very responsible and protective of their young. One cool thing I saw with the nuthatches was their habit of allo-preening, one mate would preen the other. Hopefully if you haven't seen it yet you'll get a chance to soon.

Chickadee Mom and Dad are better parents than most humans are!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They are great parents. Fun to watch them

Aaaw, and a wren at the end! Looks like you'll get another batch of babies this year.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

That would be awesome!

[@LadyYoop]

How cool is that! Wow...talk about armpit to armpit! Got a little bit tight in there!

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Yes a bit tight

Can’t believe the wren just started building on top! Busy chickadee parents!

Great chickadee video! Next do the wrens that built over the chickadee nest

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

Thank you! Yet to be seen if the Wrens build a nest

[@tjw9985]

The babies start out so ugly. They end up so beautiful! I wasn't expecting the new occupant. That is so cool.

[@BirdsWalkingDown]

They are very cute just before fledging!

[@mr1pearl]

Can you imagine being them just for a day phew 😴

No I can't!
