- This is the second part of two short videos of the House Wren birds nest where the 6 chicks grows so fast and leaves the nest during 4th of July.
Can't help but think that last one is screaming, "Where's my breakfast?!"
they all do) that's how it's happening - parents do not come back to feed them so they leave the nest (but parents keep watching them from trees around the nest)
When I was 10 my Dad had a garage built. The carpenter told me my siblings to build Wren houses from the scraps. We must have built 20. We had many Apple trees so we hung them everywhere in those trees. The next spring we must have had 30 families of House Wrens living in our orchard. I'll never ever forget their wonderful long gurgling chirping song. To this day I can identify their song. It really was a beautiful experience. Thank you Mr. Paster for the fantastic memory. ben/ michigan
such a beautiful memory 🐣 Thank you for it sharing with us 🐥🎶
That’s a wonderful memory. I’m sure every time you hear their chirp. It brings you back ❤❤❤❤.
The footage of the sixth chick fledging is so precious
The last one flying out of the nest is touching. It was calling out for the family and it sèemed that they were gone.
you can hear the reply it just sounds distant
Amazing all six survived the nest.
A wren built and raised a brood in my sister-in-law's clothespin bag. At first she thought her kids were putting twigs there, but they denied it. Day after day she would remove the twigs but they would reappear. Finally, she saw the wren putting them back. Then sis left them alone. She bought new pins after that❤
I like how they are looking around when they are leaving the nest like "Okay...Where to now?"
2:05 Hope the neighbors didn't mind when I burst out laughing. Now I know how my mom felt when we all started screaming "CAKE!!" at her.
We just discovered that the birds nesting in one of the vents to our house are house wrens. We live in southeastern MA. Really enjoying learning about them. Definitely makes me remember my grandma and aunt Joan, they were avid birders. Ill be 44 this june and really loving this part of beint an adult❤
A big thanks to you, for making the bird shelter for them.
Thank you too!
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlifeawesome box,any design details🤔
Parents did great! I'm so glad all 6 chicks survived. It's truly amazing that even though the last chick was few days younger than the first one, they all left the nest the same day. I have swallows in my garage every year and it's so cool to watch the little ones grow and eventually leave the nest. However, by observing them you also realize how brutal their world is. Last year the chicks left the nest and the weather suddenly got much worse, so they wanted to come back, but the parents didn't allow them. Not to mention the many times I have found the dead chicks on the ground, because they were kicked out of the nest. Life is brutal.
Survival of the fittest!
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife sad but true
I have a box full of house wrens myself, so all that chirping is familiar and kind of nice. Last year they fledged in mid June, so I suspect they'll do the same this year. Right now they're just chirping away like this. I have a squirrels nest in a nearby tree every year too - the squirrel babies came down on June 2 and it was pandemonium out there for a few hours as they chased each other around and ran up and down trees. June is bustin' out all over around here.
Who’s here from Part 1? 😊
Meeeeee. That sure was a full nest!😊
Hahaha
Me am here for part 2
Me
Meeeeee ❤❤❤
Thanks. So sweet. Thatnk u for caring for birds
2:05 is my fave part they are minding there own buisness then mom comes in and they start chirping wiht there mouths open omg it scared me i had headphones on
The little guys in my box started fledging about 20 minutes ago. Two have flown off - there is still at least one left who is still chirping for mom and dad to feed it, and they are complying, for now. It's like watching the kids go off to college.
Ok, I just watched alltogether 12 Minutes of Birds building a nest and feeding their kids. I don‘t know why but it was fun. 😊
Appreciate your time and comments
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlifeGood invested time and your other videos are nice, too. Slow down and cute. Thank you.
Beautiful, good luck to everyone of them
Really cute and precious! Thanks for posting! ❤
6:55 of course the last one would be clumsy
Remembering the last of the clutch could be a full 5 days younger than its oldest sibling - 100% survival - excellent !
Beautiful ending! I am from Illinois.
I love the variety of birds that we get :)
Me too!
Loved the two-part video, thanks for sharing it! Wish you would have caught their shrill call as the parents kept others away, at least that's how it goes in SW Missouri.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your time and effort. Beautiful segment of nature.
Many thanks!
A wonderful film. Thanks.
Very nice 2 part video. Thank you so much for making this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Look at them🤗
Mother Nature is awesome!
Love the poetic irony of them attaining their freedom & independence on our Independence Day.
Lol that had to be planned
These guys are really helpful in the garden. All day long they fly into the garden, grab caterpillars and bring them back to their chicks.
6/6 Awesome parenting!
Happy "Independence" Day 😊
Very thoughtful birdhouse design
Very wonderful video
That is so interesting. Thank you.
Amazing.
We have a wren species in ireland too, loud but a very good singer!
Very cool !!
Thanks for watching !
Beautiful ❤
Thank you. Wonderfull video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the bird house style
Thank you!
6th was like i dont wanna go nice vids
Do the chicks ever return, or are they now on their own? Also, do the parent birds reuse the nest box? If so, is the nest box cleaned out (by the folks who built it, of course), or do they leave the existing twigs there?
I cleaned the nest box at the end of nesting season. Honestly I have no means of identifying if the next occupant birds are the same family who used it before. There are maybe millions of birds leaving during Fall and will come back in spring. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife Maybe in your next attempt, get some device to give the birds a spray of some color to help identify the birds. Or, put some paint around the opening so that when the birds enter and exit the opening, the paint will rub off onto their head or back.
@@ericdew2021 😮
@@ericdew2021 Won't that make them more obvious to predators when they're out and about?
@@ericdew2021I have a better idea. Instead of paint, use roofing Tar. It doesn't rub off like paint does.
See, I'm a genius also.
Me ha gustado el priseso de como hizo el nido y como fué el crecimiento de los puchones..buena suerte ,habran más bebitos por ahi... Por wue ellos saben donde queda su casita...👍👍👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹❤️🫂🫂🇨🇴🇨🇴
So at one point the parents never come back and the chicks instinctively know this which makes them leave the nest?
The parents stay close to the nest calling the chicks to come out and fly
Nice!
muy interesante!
Man and I thought my siblings were loud and crazy!
What will you do if the birds ask for the copyright of the reality show?
🤔
❤❤❤
👏
And My Birthday is On 5th July!😆
Do their parents leave them when it's time for them to fly on their own?
No, the parent birds also continue in feeding the young ones for a few days
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlifeAnd also teaching them how to find food.
nice
I would be that last bird...all awkward and confused.
😀
😊
Great pair of videos! 👏 Did the father ever live in the nest box? Did any of the birds come back to the nest after fledging?
Thanks for your time, the father bird used to stay out of the nest box as a guard and brought food. They are not coming back
Dad birds tend to stay out and guard. I’ve observed this a few times when we used to live in Kentucky.
❤❤❤❤I'm her from 1
Damn them some hungry birds.
Did these birds fledge in the same order they hatched? Is there any way to know?
That's a good question but I don't have the ability to know that. Thanks for watching !
Look how big their mouths are they look like sock puppets lol
2:03 LMAO
So did the parents just fly off for good once the chicks got to a certain maturity level or were they sticking around nearby?
They feed the young ones for a couple of days until they can find food for themselves
Do the babies ever go back to the nest in the following weeks or months? Or once they fly away that first time they are gone for good and never return?
They won't go back
2:06 that scared me
Super 🙂What camera are you using?
Green feathers camera
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife Did you also buy a birdhouse from them? Did you do it yourself?
@MrMirek1963 I made it myself
Awesome. One question - Do birds reuse the same nesting box? Or is it a one time thing?
Yes can be reused
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife I think they mean the same birds resuse the same nest box.
@markherring3513 yes they will reuse the nest boxes
Only 8 days until the babies fly away?
Which was the last day the parent feed them for the last time ?
The parents kept on feeding them until they can find food for themselves but I don’t know for sure when was the last time.
When you know you picked the perfect hole saw...
If the chicks are very lucky they may live 7 yrs. or longer . Average is 2 to 3 yrs.
storms, raptors, cats and flying into windows are cause of a lot of fatalities. If a large percentage didn't die young we would be uo to our ass in wrens or other kinds of birds. Not that I would not love to see more but my bird feed bill is now at about $75 a month in the winter.
what will happen next tho? they will live there or they will build a new "home" somewhere else
That’s right
nuce
Do they coming back to the nest
They are not coming back to the nest.
They are bird , freedom symbol. Free to go anywhere and distance they leave to far from nest because not like us at home we can find food , then they must flying wide area for find food
What did make the chicks want to go out? Did the parents stop showing themselves in some moment and that triggered their instinct on going independent?
Less food and most likely as what you said their instinct
Leaving the nest box on the 4th of July: “Independence Day”.
Will the parent birds use the nest again?
There's a possibility but I do not have the means to confirm it is the same bird .
I've had Robins on my porch raise 3 broods in the same nest one spring. I left the nest on the beam over winter and it was used again the next year, adding a new layer of grass. Not sure it was the same pair, but assume it was. Robins are territorial and often return to the same spot used previously. Hasn't been used since so I should clean it off so a new one can be built.
@@thoriated That must be a wonderful experience. I wonder if birds this size have been banded to determine if they do come back to the same nest. I know bigger birds like ospreys, eagles etc have been studied that way. I had magpies nest in my 2 trees but I have never seen them with chicks or even come back or new birds come and nest in my 2 trees again.
2:05
idk how to message the owner of this video directly, so i'll take a chance and ask it here. Could I possibly use your link to the part 1 and 2 of the wrens? I don't want to do it without your permission. Thanks
Yes as long as not to upload the videos as you own it. May I know your intent please?
@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife yes, as my new author pen name includes the word Wren I am using the bird as my inspiration and I would like to have a link to allow my website visitors a place to go watch the birds building a nest. i will notate on my link that I do not own the content and credit your account if it helps. thanks!
@kellywilliams1332 go ahead and do as you please
@kellywilliams1332 thanks a lot for choosing my videos
How do the parents know not to come back?
They won’t leave their young until they can feed themselves
So momma didn’t return 😢
The poetic irony of all of these American birds taking their freedom into their own hands on the American day of freedom.
They will never be together again 😢
These birds do it right, Pigeons are the worst at nesting because they do it on peoples property and leave behind a huge pile of poop.
Because pigeons are technically domestic animals and used to rely on people to survive. They have very little natural instincts.
Isn't God's design glorious?!
Me
On Independence Day, the birds became Independent!
классно птички свободны )
