House Finch - Another female sabotages nest

At 9 min 30 sec you can see the two females fighting over the nest. The new female ends up winning and evicting all the chicks from the nest. I believe most of the chicks survived since they were already close to fledging. They crash landed in the nearby bushes and tall grass. The previous parents continued feeding them for several days.
The new pair rebuilt the nest and are currently raising 7 chicks.

I've noticed this happen often with Finches. I will find chicks with bloody foreheads or a missing eye sometimes. They have feathers but aren't quite ready yet. It may be a territory thing too, as they constantly steal each other's nests.

[@jeffreardon9052]

There is also a widespread illness called House Finch eye disease, which is a bacterial infection that causes the bird's eyes to swell and crust over, and the bird may scratch at the affected eye(s).

It's like she gave up.

[@lilianarodriguez1928]

Cause she finally knew they should of left the nest days ago! Can’t you tell they have used this nest over and over between finch broods. That’s why it’s so full of shiet! And they don’t have to keep building a new one every time. It was her turn to lay her brood and this new mom was taken advantage of by her already big ass offspring who wouldn’t leave the nest! And inexperienced parents kept feeding them and they weren’t gonna leave having that good life just yet! So when this momma is like I can’t hold these eggs any longer y’all gotta go the hard way! She took care of it!

The whole point are Karen's feel entitled. Wild animals have nothing given to them. Going around and fighting other birds just to have a nest to live in or food to eat is pretty rough

A better example for that metaphor would probably be to use cuckoo... Those birds do have a degree of entitlement because they refuse to build their own and, at least in a few species of cuckoos sneak their babies into others.

The fledglings could not fledge due to the wire mesh surrounding the nest, and the parents were probably ready to lay more eggs and needed those chicks out immediately.

Wrong. Invading new pair took over the nest and kicked out the babies that died later.

[@mimih23]

Why do house finches build their nests with shit while others seem to keep their nests clean?

[@mikeg8447]

Check out some blue tit nest videos, the chicks expel a little sack for their waste, and the parents will take it and sometimes consume or drop it out of the nest. Not all species of birds do this though. Seems really risky for these finch chicks to live like that but I suppose if they're still around they are fine with it.

Maybe its defense?

[@Thatnigacj]

@@mikeg8447 a lot of birds do that even finches.

[@AnonAmbientLight]

I don't know. But if you notice, the babies seem to do a decent job of making sure they shit outside the nest and not inside it. If I had to make an absolute wild guess, this behavior is probably a natural selection one, where babies that did this particular behavior survived to mate and pass that along more so than babies that didn't. So perhaps the poop helps to mask their smell or dissuades predators to some degree.

I don't understand why the father didn't helped his female to defend the nest, at 7:23 he was there feeding the baby birds. As u can see At 9:30 the female attacked her in front of him and he was panicked and he escaped. At 15:56 the father is attacked. At 31:42 if I'm not wrong the father is attacking his own baby or maybe it's another male with the same colors. Nature is amazing

Omgosh, that was horrible! So a random female just came and removed all the babies from an existing nest? We have a nest with 5 eggs from a pair of house finches in a hanging basket on our porch and we are so excited to see them hatch. I would be devastated if I saw this happen. Does it occur often, that you are aware of?

[@kiwifoto]

Yes the current female with 5 chicks is the one that removed the previous tenants with force. I believe the chicks all survived since they were close to fledging. They crash landed in the surrounding bushes of our yard and the parents continued to feed.

I just had 5 baby house finches hatch in my hanging basket. This week I came home they were all gone. The culprit was a house sparrow , that had been watching all week,
