Blackbird nesting - from building the nest to leaving the nest

[@chystal9161]

Oh thank heavens. I had some blackbird babies in my backyard. They were gone after only a month, I thought something happened but I realise that they just grow up so fast

A black bird baby that I rescued flew away a few days ago. He/she looked exactly like them, so glad that they grow up fast, it broke my heart when I found him/her gone, it’s a lot more comforting knowing that at his age he would be leaving the nest and gaining his own sense of independence. I was beating myself up for it. Thank you so much for the splendid video.

Some of the most colorful creatures are birds. In their natural color combinations, inspiration can be taken almost as endlessly as in flowers.

[@natepoodle9132]

This is beautiful! They are little predators, but so defenseless when young. What I find so sweet is that the adult bird that we see is what they will grow into. That adult was just like them (not so long ago).

[@annatheartperson]

Something similar happened to me. My family left out the Christmas wreath from two years ago, and just this year when I got back from the Philippines, there was a nest, and three little baby birds in it! It took probably, almost, the same amount of time it took for these little guys to grow! I late found out that they were House Finches. I'm so happy that I got to see them grow. A few months later (last month) I asked my mom if we were gonna get another wreath to leave out for the birds XD.

Truly magnificent video of their growth👌🏻💕I have a resident male who joins me every morning while I have coffee. We chat over daily affairs...well I chat, he listens, lol. Finally paired up this Spring & she moved in & had babies. No joke, both mum & dad came to me one morning both alarmed. Realised one of their babies was stuck in the garage & let him or her free. Family reunited. Also became Bird Nanny to a spotted dove fledgling who was bailed up by my dogs. Became babysitter for a solid week while it patiently waited to gain strength enough to become independent. Mum & dad continuing to care for it too. Family now doing well, so much so that mum has now nested again. Looks like she sees me as a good back up too as she has now taken to nest in my pagola where I sit daily only a metre away. Currently waiting for new babies to hatch literally just above me. My backyard has become quite the Bird Nursery this year🐦🐣💛

[@NativeAustralia]

Thank you. It's pretty special when your local animals get to know and trust you. All the best for your next batch of fledglings.🐣

I’ve found 3 in my garden eyes not even open, so made a little nest. No sign of mum, 1 died & the other 2 are still there. Looks like mums not come yet, but I hope they find strength & fly asap.

this is brilliant we had a blackbird chick from around 3 or 4 days, they leave the nest after about 2 weeks but the parents keep feeding them, and that takes ages and ages and ages, speaking as the one who was feeding the blackbird, and then theres a lot of being around but still getting fed ! Lovely lovely film, and really nice because id always wondered if I did it right and it appears I was pretty much a blackbird ! Thank you

There was a Blackbird family on a lemon bush that my parents hat planted in the backyard and in that area a the female had been makimg the nest and she used mud on the top I myself had seen the Adult Female holding something that was light from the ground in it's mouth. Plus the Nest was next to my mom's bedroom and right outside the window in her bedroom, and on the right from what the window is showing was the nest. I even saw the 3 chicks opening mouths for mom and dad to feed. We did not see the chicks from day 1, instead from day 6 they have left on November 14 3 days ago but the blackbird mom and dad still are there probably having a nest somwhere else. Btw thx for the video.

Thank you for this lovely video. I have black birds nesting in an overgrown jasmine in my garden , been watching them nest build and knew they were feeding their young and can hear the hungry cheeping from the nest as mum and dad come back to feed them. Unfortunately I found a fledgling dead in the garden only a few feet away from where they are nesting I gauge this to be about 7 to 8 days old from watching this. I will be keeping a watchful eye out for the rest of them to see if I can see the rest of them make their move. Hopefully nothing happens to the rest of them. Any ideas how this could have happened? There is definitely no way it could have been cats because of where it is( very high up, level with top of a first floor window and well tucked away). Can they just push each other out sometimes, accidentally?

Ioana Jojo mine too. We have a male blackbird with no tail. We have watched him and his Mrs, three years now. We feed them every day. He hops up to us when we open the door. He lands on our windowsill and looks in if we havent fed him for a while. She chases him and feeds first through winter. He lets her. He is so fierce though, when they have chicks. On watch all day, collecting the food we give and flying off and coming back for more. He will dive bomb the magpies and jackdaws that come near. I wake up every morning to his song. Pure joy!

[@jojolucky89]

Love your story! I also have a lot of blackbirds surrounding the street that I live on. They sing a lot in the springtime, especially very early in the morning. I love to open the window around 5 am and I just lay in bed listening to their beautiful song. Sadly I couldn't get any of them to come to my window so I can feed them. I guess maybe they are afraid of the doves that come to eat and drink on my windowsill.
