Bluebird Hatching

I had the amazing opportunity to witness a baby bluebird hatching and was fortunate enough to capture it on video. I apologize for the unsteadiness of my hand. Enjoy!

Thank you for your video 🐦💕beautiful blue birds. 🐦💎🐦🙏🎇💕

[@SheliaKingsongwriter]

Wow! God blessed you to witness such an incredible thing as this Deborah. Thank you for sharing!

[@Ginny2708]

So comical to see hatchlings with their large, unopened eyes and bobbing heads, opening their beaks wide for food at any sign of movement. Interesting video, well done, you, for capturing this.

[@TovKafur]

They are so funny! I want some as toys. Or as slaves. They will fail every task and poop everywhere, so i would be forced to microwave them. Since their skin is so thin, they will explode and become popbirb. And then i will eat them.

[@joanaffleck4601]

You can hear a gun go off in the distance. What a contrast to such a frail and beautiful creature to violence and death versus life.

[@BeeHite]

They could be practicing. Usually hunting only a few shots. You won't waste ammunition... plus tears up the prey

[@rachyrae5096]

this was wonderful to watch. I couldn't help feel but feel sorry their mother was kept away though,they looked so hungry and weak.

[@deborahkay76]

She wasn't kept away she would come down and eat the shells and feed them. I made sure the "disturbance" was minimal. I've raised LOTS of bluebirds and many will still come back to visit. I have one that likes to sit on my bathroom window and peck at the glass.

Pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.

Starving Baby Bluebirds

[@ivesofmarch2319]

Wow. Thank you for making this! Loved it. So funny, the bird wear the egg like a hat.

[@neildusseault8404]

Earlier in the video I heard an adult bird chirping, perhaps the mother of these babies, screaming from a nearby tree, "LEAVE! LEAVE!" While this is interesting to watch, it's also painful to watch knowing that in order to capture this live, you had to interfere with nature. Instead, consider installing a GoPro or some other digi-cam. Even an old cell phone can be propped up and left alone to record this. Every movement of these baby birds and each peep takes incredible amount of energy they simply don't have as newborns. Their mother usually assists with the hatching process, so that less energy is used from the baby, and feeds them immediately. With little to no feathers, they are also probably cold. That too loses energy trying to maintain adequate body temperature.

[@deborahschowalter5929]

I appreciate your concern however I assure you they were in no harm and now even YEARS after this video come to visit me. Trust me I even fought a snake to rescue several babies.

[@stacystone850]

Life!!

[@FrontYardVideo]

Incredible video! I just had my first Bluebird nest but did not get a chance to see the babies inside the box or leaving the nest. Only the parents coming and going. It was wonderful to see the baby hatching in your great video. Thanks for posting it.

[@deborahkay76]

Thanks. I have one blue bird that comes back to visit quite often either on my bathroom window or back deck.

They are so precious 😭💖

[@hopehulsizer9059]

just had four eggs today!! second batch. I grow mealworms and feed mom and pop.

[@deborahkay76]

Hope Hulsizer We had 6 eggs about a month ago. That's the most I've seen. Today there are 5 eggs ... 2nd brood for this summer.

[@katheschumacher3463]

how do you grow the mealworms?

awwww so adorable! ^_^

I love blue 🐦 I have a nest box 💜

[@HarmonicExxtasy]

It was so adorable to see the little baby birdies bobbing their heads up and down in that way as they opened wide, hehe :p Were the birdies doing that because they were hungry ?

[@cgreen7153]

Yes

[@ginak9959]

hi i got a blue bird egg i just got it now and im just waiting for it to hatch im excited

[@Memeboi19]

Sooo cute

[@BeeHite]

Beautiful.. thank you for sharing

[@deborahkay76]

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. They still hang around and visit. They like to sit on my car windows and mailbox. Occasionally they’ll even tap on my bathroom window.

[@bananasareyummy22]

how sweet you have developed a relationship with the babies!

[@sirwilliamrobert7043]

Are they putting their head up where they go Super Saiyan or something

[@alicewolf2888]

I found an egg that looked exactly like these ones less than an hour ago. I didn't think I could save it, so I put it in a tree, and walked away.

[@sirleideabreu6063]

Que coisa mais linda, meu Deus, maravilhoso esse vídeo

[@lillykocht]

this is so exciting to see. thanks for sharing it. New friend here. Lilly

[@leighann5308]

Awe cute wearing a little blue hat. Were you hand holding the camera? If so you have a steady hand. Mom still incubating eggs in my nest box. I would like to do this but every time I open the nest box I get dive bombed by the male.

[@deborahschowalter5929]

Yes I was holding it by hand and it was quite painful trying to remain still. I would go out and talk to the parents and they got used to me. Even had one that would come land on my bathroom window and tap on it.

[@leighann5308]

@@deborahschowalter5929 mine have been in my backyard feeding since sept 2020 from my caged BB feeder you would think they would be used to me since I’m always in the yard talking to mine as well. They were fine checking daily while she laid her eggs but I only got dive bombed by the male after she started ft incubation. What camera and lens did you use? My box opens with side door bottom lift. I put a camera in one of my boxes she ended up using the one without the camera. I was bummed. I live in Cali and have western bluebirds.

[@annettabrown8627]

I want them💕💕

[@dianagu]

I wonder if the light exposure will do any damage to the new hatchlings.

[@deborahkay76]

No. There is a rather large hole in the front that lets quite a bit of sunlight in on the birds when the door is shut.

[@maryriser7836]

What type of camera set up did you use?

[@cubingclown4796]

I found a eastern bluebird egg under a tree and don’t know what to do with it so I found a nest and I put it in there because my mom doesn’t want it

[@deborahkay76]

Cubing Clown more than likely the egg is not viable so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t hatch.

[@cubingclown4796]

Deborah K Schowalter it hatched today the birds are so cute

[@blubblesandbubbles8514]

@@cubingclown4796 I found one. It hatched today. We found it after a storm by an empty tree. Sadly, no birds were around, so we incubated it.

I have 3 blue bird eggs the 4th one died so since it died I checked the development and mabye about 3 to 7 days at the most

[@angelordevil41]

Nice video thanks for sharing, but it was sad to see how hungry they were but mom couldn't feed them because of your presence from other videos I have seen baby birds eat frequently I hope you kept your distance after this video..

[@bananasareyummy22]

is the mother usually on-site during the hatchings? was she kept away by your filming?

[@deborahkay76]

Hi Brenda - She kept watch and actually came down and cleaned up the egg shells. The bluebirds have actually gotten used to me being near by and will even come sit on my bathroom window sill to say "hi". I make sure to keep my distance. This was the first and only video I've taken.

[@ghosttgirlghosttspook5478]

you need to get out of there so the mother can feed them!

[@mazsegura3]

it is :)

[@dylank2458]

What kinda of fruit do I feed them mine hatched 5 mins ago and don’t know what to do I cut down their tree without knowing they were in their

[@deborahkay76]

Move the next to another tree nearby. The mother will find them. They eat meal worms.

[@dylank2458]

Deborah Kay Frendak I cut down all the trees in that area I was burning the trees when I saw the eggs in the tree the closest tree is about 50 feet away but the branches are to high for me to reach do I just lay them on the ground or what I’m feeding them baby Oatmeal mixed with little warm water and really good smashed up fruit like grapes I heard that was good for them

[@deborahkay76]

I would put up a bird house on a metal pole for the bluebird to find. Just make sure you have something to keep the snakes out. They sell all of that at Lowe’s or Home Depot.

[@mazsegura3]

yeah :3

[@mohdfarhan7858]

😭😔😩💯♥️

[@najeemnaime452]

Can you make a update Vedio

[@chrism7157]

i would of kept one as a pet

[@deborahschowalter5929]

So much more beautiful to watch in nature / outdoors. They’re not meant to be caged. They do still come visit even years later. I’ve become very close to them as well as the deer and other wildlife in my backyard.

[@hellfire3D]

borns from a egg

[@naseeramzn1]

are they real?

[@deborahkay76]

Yes. They are baby bluebirds. I have at least two to four broods a season. Typically there are four to five eggs each brood.

[@TovKafur]

No. They are fake. In fact, it is what yolk becomes if it escapes the egg. You have to fry that yolk real fast, and things you thought are baby birds will turn in an omelette.

[@REBECCASCREWS]

should you clean your box every year

[@deborahkay76]

Bob Cochrane I clean it out after every brood otherwise they will keep building on top of the last nest.

[@kenmurray4902]

Yes and after each nesting

[@kakyoinshierophanttea7399]

hey I got blue eggs my house to

[@florarosey7604]

Where is the mother bluebird during this video?

[@deborahkay76]

She was in the tree watching closely. I've gotten rather close to the bluebirds that nest in that box as I've had it for several years.

[@deborahkay76]

Sorry Tom ... they are most definitely bluebirds. This is not the first brood that has built a nest in my bluebird box and the parents were both 100% bluebirds.

[@wqazwqazwqaz1]

they are robins

[@annafowdy]

Bluebird eggs have blue shells, too.

[@Thatslit645]

We have a bluebird egg

[@joemancini327]

if you touch them try to rub them in the mothers nest not too hard so them the mother will know what they smell like possibly

[@wendycanchola2817]

It's sad how hungry and weak they look since their mom couldn't come to feed being wary of humans.Its great seeing baby being born but I wouldn't have stayed as long as you did sweetheart.

[@wendycanchola2817]

But will say good job though

[@deborahkay76]

The mother + father were extremely familiar with me and would come to the box even if I was nearby. The babies were fed and grew up to all be beautiful blue birds. I would never jeopardize the health and well being of my baby birds. The blue birds come up and perch on my back porch and even will come tap on my bedroom window. I understand your concern but trust me when I say they were in no danger.

[@zacharycat]

poor little things are starving

[@TovKafur]

I'm starving too. I don't want bread, meat or fruits: i want baby birds. Dozens. Hundreds. I will take a few at once, and a second later they will chirp inside me.

they ARE food

[@ameerahfarah5110]

[@TovKafur]

Baby birds make inefficent but funny slaves (regard them as toys). They will fail every task and poop everywhere, so you would be forced to microwave them. Since their skin is so thin, they will explode and become popbirb. They are nice meal! You can gift some to your girlfriend and eat them during watching a movie.

TovKafur you seriously need help if you think I need to reconsider my views between human babies and bird babies. If you thought it was okay to do to an animal you’d build up the tolerance to do it to humans. That’s how a lot of psychopaths begin.

You can't become a psychopath, it's either genetic or formed early in life.
