We started the day with five chicks and at the time of writing we ended the day with five chicks so that's somewhat of a relief. The day was not without drama though. Unfortunately, a magpie has taken an interest in the nest box and was probably looking to snack on our chicks. As you'll see in the video (6:37) it gave them a hell of a fright. The hole is too small for a large bird such as a magpie and some of you may remember that it has a piece of metal protecting the hole so that bigger birds cannot peck their way in.
There's been a selection of insects brought in today and the parents seem to think that the chicks are ready for bigger food if their choices are anything to go by. Some of these are a bit on the too large side though.
More tomorrow...

    • Humans have been doing this for centuries...15th and 16th century Turks would build birdhouses for sparrows and swallows out of long-necked ceramic jars with small openings to prevent larger birds and other predators from reaching the chicks. The native Americans were also creating birdhouses out of paper birch (white birch) for small birds with tiny openings.

    • Eggs and nestlings make up a tiny portion of a magpies overall diet and according to studies, their mobbing and chasing of larger predators like Merlin's and Hawks actually helps the songbird population more than they hurt them. Magpies (and Crows)are misunderstood. We have been trained to hate them for no good reason at all.

  • I find it interesting how they manage the babie's poop. Its something thats easily forgotten, but if you think about it, evolution and instinct had to figure out baby waste management in animals that have nesrs or burroughs to raise their babies in. Its why cat and puppie babies need stimulation to poop. And here with birds, it seems, they poop in a specific way and their poop has a consistency that allows that parent to grab it and take it out of the nest. Disgusting? Maybe. Interesting? Definitely!
