a bird hatching her eggs in front of my window
April 30, 2010 Bird House Feeder
last summer I found this nest infront of my window.I watch this from day one and it is very exciting to see how they grew up. They are always hungry. Finally there was only 3 left. Do not know what happens to the other 2.

Hummingbirds are fun, entertaining, full of energy and it’s easy to attract hummingbirds.
Yes, it is sad but it is nature. 3 survive which is a lot. Thanks anyway.
It is a very special experience to able to watch a bird hatching her eggs . Hope they will have a peaceful journey on their own when they became beautiful birds. Even though it is sad to see them go but this video will keep your memory to your heart forever . Thank you for sharing . Peace & Joy … Yiling
I sat for days watching this beautiful nature happening infront of my eyes. I always hope that they will come back again for another season.
i cant stop watching this video it makes me cry of joy
aweh. so what did the mom do with the dead babies?
do you have any cats or dogs? maybe they opened the window and took a bird……..but then the mom would smell the scent……….or maybe they fell out………did u touch them? that probaly what happened but im exactly sure………tats so sad though poor little birdies…
she usually throw them out of the nest
Once the mother bird saw me watching. I did not go too close, still it is sad.
Baby robins have high mortality rate of 75%. This could explain why these birds would lay 4 or more eggs.
Robins will mate many more times depending on what happens to their current eggs and outside situations.
Normally all the eggs don’t hatch and the nest gets two crowded so the mother will throw the smallest one or two out of the nest. I have seen this happen in both robin nest and cardinal nest. I even seen a cardinal mom throw all 4 of her baby’s on the ground and leave.
I`m sure you are right. This is the only explaination. Nature is cruel sometimes.
Usually when the nest is to crowded the Mother will throw the 2 smalles babies out of the nest…i used to have a robin nest in my yard and i watched sadly as the mother threw both of her babies on the ground and flew away…sometimes they’ll do that.Nature IS cruel someting, ur rite about that.
did their mum come back and if not why didnt you intervene?
did you keep the nest?
I left the nest there for 6 months and Winter came and it was destroy by the weather.
lose the music and you’ve got a great video
Thanks for sharing your birds tho.
How Beautiful!!! sweet images..Thanks for posting.
Thank you
i remembered watching about these baby bird in animal documentary… these babies bird are always competing each other and sometime the weakest one would be kicked out of the nest by the stronger baby…
I think that`s what happen. It stared with 5 eggs and ends up with 3 birds…
It is like human beings..the strong one wins
I do not like to idealize nature because it is so cruel and sometimes we just want to see the poetic side that also has it.
very cute btw what kind of birds r those?
