13th May 2021 - Now there's only six - Blue tit nest box live camera highlights
Please forgive the shorter than usual video but it's been a bit of a traumatic day here. We lost two chicks today. It was always going to be an uphill battle for the chicks which hatched almost three days after the first ones but this result wasn't expected this quickly.
The parents had been paying attention to the newer arrivals but it's more than likely they just got stuck under the other six larger chicks. Whatever happened, it's put a bit of a downer on today and the video editing elf felt that putting out a 'usual' video wasn't entirely appropriate given the situation.
Still, it's important that what happened isn't glossed over. Nature did what nature sometimes does so fingers crossed and let's hope the worst has now passed, our remaining chicks make it to the fledging stage and we don't have to make another video like this one.
More tomorrow...
Parent tried very hard to feed that green caterpillar to someone lol
It is worth noting that nature has no room for compassion. Our fist box in 2017 had 11 eggs of which just three survived to fledge. On a simple balance it could also be worth noting all the 'live' food (butterflies, caterpillars etc.) that gave their lives to allow these chicks to grow.
Oh no. I am so sorry to hear this news. I wish the little ones who didn't make it well on their journey to heaven. I hope the others grow well and remain healthy.
Poor caterpillar he just wanted to be a butterfly
By eating my lettuce
She kept trying to feed that caterpillar to the babies and one even swallowed it and she went “nope too big for them” and pulled it back out xD
So sad but thats nature 😢 l have cried soo many times when my animals have, died or l had to put them down its brakes my heart, and lm sure these beautiful birds are the same but life goes on and we look after the others.😊 they are great mum and dad 😆
OMG, they are so tiny little birdies🐦🙏life is a miracle itself💗
Could you recommend the camera you use, would like to get one for my daughter but not sure which is good one
So sad, do you know where the mother had to take them to?
Lindas imagens da natureza, sucesso!
I also will be keeping my fingers crossed...
Sadly only 2 survived
Well from the looks of it they got quite a bit of the inside of the caterpillar squeezed out
Press F to pay respects. ✋💀

do they smother each other in there? not a lot of room
Chicks have to fit under mother bird's bum or they'll freeze to death. If room is the issue, the bird isn't big enough to accommodate that many chicks.
I feel like the reason why so many die is because some of them don't get fed when there's so many different mouths in feed.
I wonder where they put the bodies
I'd imagine she flew a ways away to drop them off so that it doesn't make it obvious for predators that chicks are in there, but I know jack about tits so maybe they were close to the nest
The floor
stampede ????
🥺
Thats sad but completely normal.
Wow, i really thought that when a chick die, it serve as a food for the remaining live chicks 😱🧐
My birthday 😣
I think the caterpillar became a tube of baby food
Who needs so many warnings lord. I'd gladly show this to a 5-year-old child. If an adult cannot handle this, they need to just give up.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER xxx If you have any questions let me know
Wtf
Lol
You're unwanted preachings turn people away from Christ. Maybe shut up & people wouldn't hate y'all as much as they do
