Hummingbird Nest Documentary: Heartbreaking Story of Two Hummingbird Babies

[@keiraferrari7764]

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you 💕💓💗💖❣️

[@loriwhite7254]

We're from Indiana and we live on a family farm we love to watch our Hummingbirds alot just bought a Hummingbird bush last year can't wait

[@Krista2882]

Thank you so much for the update and the photos. I think of Emerald and the little ones every day and still miss them.

[@JenDGenXer]

Thank you for sharing the story - especially the final pictures. I was one who was in shock seeing it play out live, and it eases my heart knowing that Clover and Emerald are well. I live in the area so I always hope when I see Hummers at my feeders that I'm helping them out too. It'll be interesting to see if Alik chooses to put the camera on the nest should the invading female decide to take it over. Emerald has been such a good momma that I hope she finds another spot nearby to build another nest safely away from the Kestral. I don't blame it, they also need to eat and feed themselves and their babies, but it did hurt to see it happen. Thanks to Alik for coming to Clover's rescue.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Thanks for looking out for them. Live well Clover, RIP Crimson.

[@melaniec1074]

Thank you for putting this together. Today I was crying and I have been depressed about the way things happened and it is good to know that Clover is alright now. RIP little Crimson and wishing you all the best little Clover and magnificent mom Emerald. I miss you terribly but you were a joy to watch.

[@InviteTheLightReadings]

Thank you so much Carole and Alik for all of your time and effort and vigilance in this situation. The pictures are a relief. I will donate to the channel shortly as this is more work than most realize. I hope we get to see Emerald have another clutch again. Even though that other bird took over their nest.

[@bitofromance]

I'm in tears. Poor Crimson. I can't believe how attached I've become to this hummer family.

[@ОльгаЛевченко-д1г]

Thank you a lot for the opportunity to observe the life of such tiny birds while being thousands of kilometers away. I only managed to watch the last two days. And I was upset by the death of the chick. But now I'm glad that the second was able to leave the nest and everything is fine with him.

[@Jen-ge6rl]

In tears 🥺 thank you for this video. Clover is a miracle.. his name brings him good luck tho lol 🍀 RIP Crimson you were so beautiful its so sad this happens in nature. We will remember you 🙏🏼🕊

[@philtripe]

[@Jen-ge6rl]

@@philtripe its called tears 🥺

[@DoggyMom3]

So happy to see little Clover being fed by Emerald. This is such a bittersweet story. So happy to have watched from the laying of each little egg, to the hatching, first feedings, Crimson and Clover growing day by day, so close to fledging when Crimson was lost, the rescue of Clover and continued hopes for the best. Alik you are a hummingbird hero. Steve's watchful eyes alerting you to Clover's need for help..... thanks to all who made this video possible. I needed to see the happy ending. Cheers to all the Hummingbird Spot watchers. Amazing how hundreds of us shared this special internet community and experience. Fly free little Clover we are all rooting for you : )

[@yaeljad6012]

pro tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.

[@greyarcher4686]

@Yael Jad Yea, I have been using flixzone} for since december myself =)

[@princekameron8553]

@Yael Jad yup, I've been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)

[@mrsone2000]

This legit made me cry. I was so sad when Crimson was taken. I was about to quit watching then, but I am glad I finished the whole video. Even when Nature is cruel, animals will still find a way to survive. Clovers emergency fledged was so uplifting. And thanks to you and Alik for being a part of the story. You were meant to be there.

[@contessalouannec8064]

Thank You for sharing I had no idea until I watched the whole stream that another bird attacked the next,. I am sooo sad. This is the first time I watched a video from the beginning of eggs to the hatching and growing. Life can be soooo cruel. Little Crimson is in hummingbird heaven. May clover have many babies to carry on the hummingbird legacy. Thank You I will continue to watch.

[@amy5714]

Oh my. I am in tears, so moved by this beautiful video. It is very sad, but also has a happy ending and Emmi is a remarkable mommy. Bless all who were part of the efforts to help those wonderful creatures and keeping this nice community updated. Carole and Alik, you got a big fan here 💕, thank you.

[@lesliesmith5369]

Carole and Alik you are wonderful human beings! I have truly enjoyed watching this little hummingbird family. You two are such blessings! Thank you for caring and protecting these precious little birds. So happy to see Clover is doing well! Emerald is such a good mom

[@michellehawkins811]

I am sobbing watching this. I haven’t been on in a while. Breaks my heart. Poor lil babies. But I’m so happy Emerald & Clover are safe 🙏 Thank you for ALL you guys do for these magical, beautiful blessings ♥️

[@marybethchan1043]

I am sad for Alik who seems to love the hummingbirds so much and I will always respect Nature and the good and not-so-good things that occur. Emerald has been a wonderful momma and three of her offspring are adding to the hummingbird population, thankfully. Bless all involved.

[@astrid9613]

Thank you so much for this Documetary. Thank you Alik. I wish Emmerald and Clover all the best. And i will never forget Crimson.

[@karalewis007]

I love Hummingbirds! :)

[@clairebarnes_162]

Great video, thank you for posting so we can see that Clover is doing well out of the nest.

[@sagabri82]

Here I am on the other side of the world crying of sadness, gratitude and joy... To Crimson: Rest In Peace! To Clover: Goodbye and have the best hummie life out there! To Emerald: You're the best mom EVER! Caring, courageous, faithful, sweet and determined. Wishing you a long life with lots of other succesful clutches! To Alik, Carole, Steve, Wolf, Ivy, Ginger, Suzie and everyone else involved: THANK YOU so much for everything and this beautiful video! Sending Love from Holland!

[@iszolde154]

Thank you so much for sharing the story and the livestreaming all the time!

[@annekedam6846]

What a beautyfull recording !!! Thank you to shareware this with us.

[@wolfbranchhomestead]

Sending all my love to Emerald and Clover (and my heart still holds Crimson) - thank you Carole, Alik, and everyone involved.

[@Jezisjepan4031]

I was away on business and just now stopped by to hear about Clover. I enjoyed hanging with everyone during this time and hope we can do this again - without the fierceness of nature. R.I.P. Crimson.

[@sbgraphicdesignstore6068]

I had the privilege of watching the live feed of Clover and Crimson grow over a couple of weeks. It's bitter-sweet how it ended, but this video does an excellent job of summarizing their precious lives! ❤️

[@barbarahazelwood2186]

So sad but that is nature, although heartbreaking! I was so happy that Clover survived & thrived. Thank you for your videos

[@Ranchorita]

Thank you for the update. I am delighted that Clover fledged successfully!

[@pinlight97]

Amazing hugs and applause to the caring humans around this nest, as well as to Emerald and Clover. ❤️ I am tearing up as a mother myself-this world is such a mix of joy and challenge.

[@justinhamilton8647]

I followed this nest for around 1 month and I’m crying so hard right now

[@georgia19801]

Good luck Clover, may you have a long and healthy life. And many thanks to all you amazing people that have helped to keep this beautiful mother and baby safe.

[@TheArbiter10]

I wasn't ready to cry for poor Crimson again so soon. 😭 A touching video. Very grateful for the update on Clover-- may (s)he grow up to be as strong and beautiful as our Emerald. It's communities of nature lovers like this one that remind me that there are still some good people on this planet. I hope we will be able to enjoy another nest cam together again in the not-too-distant future!

[@cf8595]

Thanks so much for the transparency of this video. I think it's very important to highlight the path of nature, even when it turns against our hopes. While I love hummingbirds, they are complex; it was very interesting to see the other female threaten little Clover. I'm glad the whole story was addressed, and it's nice to see it had a bit of a happy ending.

[@awarr8583]

Oh thank goodness Clover made it! Thank you for providing this update. After reading the title I was a bit worried, since I have been keeping watch over the past few weeks these two grow. Thank you for allowing us to witness nature's miracles, but at the same time life's challenges in the nature. We are all cheering for Clover and hope she/he lives a good life. Here's to Emerald! Such a good mama you are :)

[@Lflower1Stars]

Thank you so much Carole....I'm in happy tears...so glad for Mommie Emmie and baby Clover. Thank you for making this video. Rest in peace Crimson.

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

RIP little Crimson. :( I'm glad to hear that Clover is doing well.

[@RaptorGirlkathy]

Thank you Carole for your update & additional pics of Clover. Seeing her there with Emerald is all we could have hoped for. I wish her and Emerald good luck. 💚

[@AidaJof]

When I found out Crimson's fate, I was traumatized and had to reconcile myself thinking this is nature at its cruelest but nevertheless real. Happy to hear that little Clover is doing well and Emerald was a strong defender to see her baby through. Thank you so much to Carole @Hummingbird Spot and Alik for providing us with this update. Your work and dedication is amazing!

[@normacyr-babineau785]

I watched Emeralds first clutch this year but not the second. Nature can be so cruel 😢. I am thankful for all that you guys do for these small but mighty birds and I'm glad there was a happy ending 🥰

[@kathleenknight4080]

Such a relief to this video. When the live feed disappeared, I thought maybe something happened to Clover. Thank you for letting us know.

[@beckyholman8845]

Thank you for closure - look forward to her next clutch hopefully ❣️

[@ReneeW59]

Thank you for this story. I saw this all when it was happening. it was so sad. I'm thankful that little Clover is safe. Thank you, Alik, for saving her life!

[@suzannehedderly1331]

Thank you for the update. I'm heartbroken. But glad for the happy ending for Clover and Emerald. And a huge thank you to Alik! That was an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing it!

[@starloegalletta6049]

My students and I watched these dear babies a couple of minutes a day as our transition. We were also watching two baby eagle eggs. The eagle eggs ended up not hatching. They were so excited about these babies. We spent a whole day learning about hummingbirds in each subject I taught, that day. Last week, we had to focus on state testing review and we did not check in. I came to see how big they were tonight to get ready for tomorrow and came across this sad sad post. I cannot share. I cannot even imagine telling them. When they ask, I will tell them. We have been online all year. They grew quite attached to those two. I could not watch the end. I just decided I do not want to know. Thank you, for sharing these birds and teaching my online students that nature can be found anywhere.

[@cnj549]

Tell them that kestrels have babies too.

[@desirebeccaclark9146]

Thank you for posting this video. When I came back to see how they were doing the live was gone. Sad to see Crimson gone, yet happy to see that Clover is a survivor.

[@jagruknagrik1690]

We all must cometogether and Save the Birds. Save Birds Save Nature.

[@jimturnbull2343]

Thank you so much for making a video of all the happenings! I will always remember being the first to post the first egg to hatch and would visit day and night, I absolutely fell in love with all three. I also was on at the fateful moment when we all lost Crimson. I cried and cried. I saw both go. Then I came back later to say good bye to all the friends I had made. I then found out Alik had saved Clover! I cried again but was guarded. So I said goodnight to Emmy and Clover. Being very fearful I checked in the next morning right as Emmy was feeding Clover. Again tears of joy filled my eyes. Many know I’m a teacher of special needs kids and used the live cams when I could. Well I came back and this time nest was empty again. ( Guess what went through my mind) Fighting through the returning tears I typed a question and when someone told me to watch Alik ( they didn’t say what was going to happen) and this big guy came into view and was about to catch Clover and she shot off the nest, I am surprised I didn’t scare the neighbors then to hear Emmy was feeding Clover in the tree nearby. Talk about a rollercoaster! Those birds have no idea the joy they brought 1000s of viewers. Thanks to all who made it possible and to all my chat friends I made! Jim

[@elainefletcher7177]

Thanks for the video. I was so upset about Crimson, may he/she fly free over the rainbow bridge. Good luck and blessings to Clover and Emerald.

[@madison2247]

So glad for this update, was so sad to see the live feed gone and worried for sweet little clover. Thank you for letting us know that she and Emerald are doing well!

[@catloverkitten10]

Thanks for caring so much and so well for these beautiful creatures.💕

[@esuida]

Life is a challenge, a sad but satisfying story knowing one survived

[@patriciajackson2565]

Thank you for the updates. May Clover have a long, vibrant little life.

[@Elizabeth490]

Thank you so much for the updates and for the photos of Clover thriving.

[@crystalmiller4022]

Thank you for this update video. Well wishes for a wonderful life Clover and Emerald. RIP Little Crimson. Thank you for caring about these little ones.

[@pamelag.00]

Oh it makes me cry. I can’t imagine how painful it was to see it in real time. I’m so glad little Clover is doing so well. I didn’t realize poor little Clover went through so much.so glad Alik was so protective

[@fionagoldthorpe2278]

I was so worried about the hummingbird babies that I even tried Tweeting (pardon the pun!) in my efforts to discover any updates. I watched the first hatching and felt to privileged to witness the birds leaving the nest. It’s the highlight of my lockdown here in Scotland via the WebcamTaxi link. So relieved that I clicked on the KZbin version and scrolled back through the chats on this hummingbird link. Thank you for posting this video. It is greatly appreciated, as is your care and feeding of these magical birds. Take care. Fiona from Scotland

[@Iam4wine]

Bless all of you. My heart still aches. Thanks for putting this together. I will keep my eye out for Kestrals. I had NO IDEA!

[@VermisTerrae]

I'm so grateful to have been able to watch these little birds the past few weeks. Thank you Carole and Alik and all of the chat mods for all your hard work! And cheers to all my fellow hummer lovers :)

[@Jeanne52573]

Alik, hopefully Clover will come back to visit you, hummingbirds are smart. You are that baby's knight in shining armor. God bless.

[@林奕萱-n9j]

Thank you so much for this video. I was very, very worried. May Clover grow strong and healthy and live long 🙏🏻

[@saintaugustine8965]

Thank you so much for this. Well done. I also became attached to these little ones. Went and bought two more feeders today. Thank you again.

[@gregjones7742]

Oh my gosh - I cried happy tears at the end of this! I am so relieved to see that baby Clover is doing well and that Emerald is taking care of her. Thank you so much for the loving tribute to our little friends.

[@djpersnikity]

I thought I was over it but I cried all over again. Happy tears for Clover. Good luck baby Clover. It was wonderful spending the last month watching you grow up. Also, Alike and Carole are amazing people. Also the moderators of the chat.

[@Darcon1986]

Thanks for the video God bless Emerald and Clover. Rest in peace Crimpson, now fly with God in Heaven .... Carol and Alik, thank you for giving us the privilege of knowing more about the life of hummingbirds

[@constanceohara3191]

Thank you for posting this heartfelt and heartbreaking story. I think of Em and her babies every day.

Super Heroes all‼️. Soon I will be back watching your videos and Live Cams again. Always will I hold Em and her babies in my heart ❤️ ❤️❤️

[@jacquelinewalters2706]

Thank you so much for this update Carole and for the photos of little Clover being cared for by Emerald after she left the nest. Tears, but also joy. And thank you Alik. 😘🥀🍀

[@emilynw56]

Thank you for this. I have been watching Emerald since mid to late March. It was very exciting to see two new eggs, then to watch Crimson and Clover hatch. Thursday's event was heartbreaking to watch followed by Friday's unsettling events. I'm happy Clover is well and being taken care of by Emerald. RIP Crimson. Thank you to all for making viewing possible.

[@michaelfrazer1807]

Thank You for sharing

[@lajesq176]

Made me cry, but thank you. Clover is going to grow up to be a tough little bird.

[@marianne3777]

Thank you so much for the update!!! Happy that Clover made it!! So wonderful to hear 🥰🥰🥰 Good Luck with everything, little one!💖

[@kathyi2154]

Thank you for posting this for us. Thanks to Carole, Alik, & Beth. I know these feeds are nature, & that nature has moments of wonder and moments of sadness. I am so excited to see that Clover moved out independently! I had seen the posts that Alik was keeping the kestrel away & Clover was going to be taken to Ventura Hummingbird Rescue but I missed the actual video of the flight. 3 cheers!

[@dm5129]

Thank you for posting this and showing us all what happened. Uplifting to see Clover is doing well.

[@TrueNazar]

thank you so much for this update. i was very emotionally invested i watched the last clutch and this one and this breaks my heart. but thats nature

[@littlezork]

Such a fitting name for such a lucky little bird 🍀 I was so glad to see her safe. Good luck on your next adventure, too, little bird.

[@decemberschild1504]

Thanks for posting this video! I'm happy to see Clover is doing so well. Good thing your team was around for them. ❤️🍀 And thanks to all of you for answering so many questions from me!

[@PlaidLawnchair]

Carole, Alik, other admins, and the Dr. w/the hummingbird rescue who consulted w/Carole, thank you for all you did for Em and her clutches, and thank you for this video. I am so grateful to get to see little Clover still being fed by Mom, even tho Clover is out of the nest. What a relief. Thank you!!

Bittersweet story. Thank you for your dedication to these beautiful tiny birds. To Emerald & Clover, may you continue to be together, smelling the flowers. Fly high little ones. 🙏🏻

[@stangarang]

Thank you so very much for the follow up on this. I watched it happen live and was so hopeful Clover would be okay after he/she flew away. You all do such amazing (and sometimes thankless) work and it is so very appreciated. Seeing the pictures of Emerald feeding Clover in the nearby bush brought tears to my eyes. Happy tears! What a wonderful mom Emerald is. And what a resilient little bird Clover is. Best of luck to Clover!!

[@jacquelinebarnard649]

Thank You Carole for posting this video. While it is a very hard reality that Crimson was lost to us, I'm so glad you were able to certain the whereabouts of Clover and that Emerald is feeding and teaching her the ways of the world.

[@Kate98755]

it was nice to have this all together, i missed her taking off, life was too busy...happy clover and emerald are safe...still sad about crimson

[@pepeboy234]

Thank you so much for putting this incredible video of life and hope together. I think that I can safely say for everyone who watched Emerald and her babies, that we are all grateful for you and Alik and the Mods who care so much for these Hummingbirds and for capturing many miracles that happened that resulted in Clover's life being saved. Somehow I think that the other female Allen's Hummingbird was one of Emerald prior babies and was trying to instinctively warn her sibling, Clover of danger nearby. That may be a stretch; but, not any more than the absolute wonder of everything that happened to this Hummingbird family, and the happy ending for Emerald and Clover!
