Nesting birds!

We were fortunate to have a couple of nesting fieldfares (björktrast) in our garden this summer. I managed to capture a lot of the activities in the nest including parts of the hatching! Incredible animals.

The most beautiful blacksmithing video ever made.............!

I'm glad the lawnmower made an appearance!!

[@timothyfieldwick9981]

we see lots of nature videos after the eggs have hatched but to see the actual nest building is a real treat for me thanks !

[@dgedi78]

The question is: Are the cameras treated with linseed oil?

[@Le_Robban]

What steel were the birds forged from?

[@lilypadcandee]

It's so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for your time and effort. I love it

[@aborian1388]

Thank you. We had a wonderful time. To watch the life of a bird from the beginning

Glory be to you, Lord, how great is your creation and ability

Just discovered nesting birds in my backyard tree so I tried to research it. Thanks for this amazing video. Mothers are amazing!!!

[@ericreeve3461]

I watch a lot of KZbin videos and yours are always the most sincere, genuine and satisfying. Thank you for your dedication.

[@torbjornahman]

Wow, thank you!

[@ajoybanerjee2819]

Nice staying in a rural area, where this is possible, great satisfaction

[@Madlintelf]

I love it, I've been raising birds for over 30 years and watching the babies grow up is so much fun! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@torbjornahman]

Cool!! Thanks

[@ksell5441]

Beautiful Fieldfares, amazing here in the UK to watch them come in off the sea on migration. They land in the first berry bush or tree and will stay there for hours, if undisturbed, rebuilding their energy. Great vid. Thanks

[@torbjornahman]

Yes they eat a lot of berries here too before leaving!

[@pjhalchemy]

Great filming and editing...a perfect diary! Thanks Torbjorn!

[@sidensvans67]

Wonderful birds . A good few nesting around my place this year .

Amazing footage! David Attenborough would be proud.

Thanks!! :)

It's morning here, and that was a fantastic way to start the day.

[@bostedtap8399]

Thank you for sharing, amazing how quick the chicks increase in size over 5 days. Great photography.

[@a.v.k.2852]

The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a songbird from the thrush family (Turdidae). It is a migratory bird that lives in large groups. In the summer the fieldfare breeds in colonies in northern Europe and in Asia, where it mainly feeds on all kinds of invertebrates. The winter quarter is located in the more southern parts of Europe and Asia and in North Africa. Here he mainly feeds on fruits and seeds.

[@CaptainTwitchy]

A.v.K. Thank you. I was thinking it was a Thrush, but also thought wren (beak wasn’t quite right, though).

[@psidvicious]

I thought they were the Swedish variation of robins 🤷‍♂️ 🤜🤛

[@a.v.k.2852]

@@CaptainTwitchy The thrushes have a large family of subspecies, in the Netherlands we call the fieldfares 'kramsvogel' and the thrushes' lijsters':)

[@jarmokankaanpaa6528]

@@psidvicious The American robin is a thrush, so it's a close cousin of the fieldfare. Don't expect any beautiful song, though: the fieldfare makes a kind of raspy chatter. It's also considered a pest, especially among berry growers.

Next year ...... 😊👍👍

[@TheMiKeOfAllTrades]

Glad to see an upload from you, Torbjörn! Hoping you and your family are well. Thanks for sharing.

[@Katzztar]

Seems its a good thing that only 3 of the 4 eggs were viable and hatched. Those three hatchlings quacking crowded each other there at the end

[@torbjornahman]

:) Yes!

[@rosielc4761]

Fantastic footage! Thank you for sharing,

[@lsubslimed]

@ 8:36 I'm going to call that little guy, "Matt Stonie Jr" Beautiful video! I honestly wasn't sure if I was going to watch all 15 minutes of it before starting, but it really went by quick as it was pretty exiting to watch. Thanks for taking the time to capture and share this awesome experience with us.

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha! Thanks!!

[@bebaagua12345]

The fact that the bird knows that adding straws to the clay makes its structure stronger amazes the crap out of me daaaamn they poop fast

[@torbjornahman]

Ha ha they do! Yes, amazing in so many ways.

Thank you for showing us something so beautiful, greetings from the Basque country 🙋‍♂️🤝

[@jacobopstad5483]

Better than those nature shows like National Geographic! Great footage!

[@mkivy]

The birds are just nesting. Here in coastal South Carolina. I live a mile from the Atlantic and see many shore birds, gulls, marsh herons and egrets...lots of birds like cardinals everywhere in my back yard with all my feeders. We have 6 feeders and places for nests...we also have a resident great horned owl 🦉 couple. Huge birds...and every now and then I can see Bald Eagles 🦅 over head. What a beautiful site...best wishes to you.

[@torbjornahman]

Cool!

[@RobertFay]

*Thank you, Torbjörn, for all the considerable Editing effort. I was surprised to see the toilet duties of taking the waste produced from the chicks... just like a female dog does with its puppies. The "no wasted food" principle that nature follows is interesting.*

[@oscarsimpsonjacka7917]

I swear these are the cutest birds I’ve ever seen. Your videos are a blessing torbjörn Edit: do you think you might forge a folded axe any time soon. I feel like they are one of the most fun things to make because you have all the fundamentals of a blacksmith and they never really get boring to make

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks. That is on my list for sure!

[@wyoblacksmithtools3097]

That was very professionally done! With their mouths wide open and pointed to the sky, they look like they are a singing group. You should name them Abba! Thanks for posting. Jerry

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks!!

[@TheMetalButcher]

Oh. I kind of expected two iron birds in a forged nest. Not that I'm disappointed! I suppose I sort of have some great expectations haha.

[@psidvicious]

Just fascinating Torbjörn! And yes, it is incredible how quickly these birds grow. I also thought it was interesting how neatly groomed and manicured they kept the nest. I found this especially interesting bcz I recently was keeping track of some bald eagle chicks on YT. Super video and editing! Well done! 🤜🤛

[@torbjornahman]

Cool! Thanks!

[@pivers01]

Absolutely amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing that!

[@laurelhill3505]

I never thought about how the birds keep the nest clean with the chicks in it. To me, that was the most interesting (and to me, of course, disgusting!) part. Well done, friend!

[@psidvicious]

Yes, never knew about that kind of housekeeping by Robins (I think they’re Robins?). As luck would have it, I was recently keeping track of a live-feed of some bald eagle chicks on YT. I found it fascinating that within a day or 2 of hatching, the chicks instinctively knew to ‘poop’ outside of the nest! Agreed, disgusting but naturally and biologically incredible at the same time. 🤜🤛

[@jacobopstad5483]

Yes, I found it fascinating (and disgusting) too! Gotta keep the nest clean, after all! I'll be sure to mention this to my wife the next time she complains about washing our kids' dirty underwear.

[@LiveTwinReaction]

@@psidvicious Super late reply, but it seems to be a kind of Thrush, which is the same family of birds that American robins are in! Something kind of gross about thrushes, including American robins, is they seem to eat their chick's poop even when they're old enough to leave the nest (like in this video at 12:47). Most passerine birds stop eating chick's poops after 6-7 days, since their digestive systems start working better which results in the poops being mostly or entirely waste. Doesn't seem to bother any of the thrushes though.

Cool! I think you can feed it small chunks of ground meat.

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Thanks for the peaceful and cheerful video - I was in a bad mood and, somehow, this made me feel better :-) It took a lot of work to put together these sequences, even if it all happened in your garden. If you ever get tired of blacksmithing (which I doubt), you can always do wilderness videos - you seem to excel at both :-)
