I had-to build a new nest box

The entrance hole has been nibbled 'too-large'
such, that chicks could, fall out [before they are 'ready']
This one has a sliding 'plas-plex' end door
and we can observe the chicks, without disturbing the box

Here, is 'Dad' "Charlie
attachment.php



and here, 'Mother' "Cher" and her four offspring

He is handsome :)

The chicks must be getting big!

:thumbsup: 'Charlie' was, 'the pick of the bunch' at the Pet Shop
as we 'shopped' for her late Mate's successor
fearing, she might grieve for his [or, any cockbird's 'company']

Two of the chicks, appear to have plumage 'coming-in' just like their Dad's


The chicks VARY in size
and certainly; the oldest is now, half the size of, his/her parents

Tomorrow [later], we will begin to handle the chicks [taking pics]
~our having seen, that 'Cher & Charlie', have adopted the new nestbox
apparently, without any qualms /apprehension
ie: the calls of the chicks, were enough
for them, to ignore the changes in appearance of the nestbox
It being, in the same orientation and place of the previous one



I'm off to bed now
Have a good night/morning all

:wave:

Strangely, Charlie fed her through the hole
I haven't seen this behaviour before

It is usual for her to leave the nest
and to take food for the young from Charlie on one of the perches
:scratch:

I will try again tomorrow [later]

:wave:

I am happy to hear they are thriving under their parents loving care!
It is such a miracle to witness this; my 10 years documenting Eastern Bluebirds nesting data for the state ornithologist
(monitoring hundreds of nesting pairs each year) were the best years of my life :)
If I had the right conditions and space here, I would raise canaries :thumbsup:

Just look at that precious face :)
you'll have no problem placing these babies in good homes!

That is, just so true Gail Sis'

We have already, had-to promise, 'two' of them ~'sight-unseen'
[1 to Yorkshire and the other to Lower Broughton [Salford]
just 'two', still available :D

:thumbsup:

Those babies are really cute Dave.

Thank you Shirley Sis'
I expect the youngest one to have his/her eyes open tomorrow [Sunday]or, Monday


Brother Dave, the pictures of your baby birds are awesome.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Tom Bro'
You will see further pics of them, ~until they have all gone-on to new homes :thumbsup:

It is a blessing :thumbsup: to be enabled, to assist ~in such a little way
God to perform His miracle, of creating life

Hand-tamed, they will be much-loved and cared-for
giving so-much pleasure to their owners
:amen:

your Bro'
