    I love these birds! But observing and photographing for the last four years have never seen the male aggression as in this video. Quite the opposite… the males seem to care more for the fledglings than the female. Time and time again…❤

      I think he's just over zealous about getting them to eat. It's strange that he's not waiting for the gaping cue. I'll have to review the in house feeding videos to see if he was feeding appropriately then. It does feel disconcerting and aggressive, but there's always food in his beak that he's trying to feed them. His odd behavior is actually why I made the video.

    • @themysteryofbluebirdboulevard
      @themysteryofbluebirdboulevard 4 місяці тому

      And my pair right now have the tendency for the male to hand off the food to the female for the her to feed the kids while he gets more. They're definitely a team! I always love that.

      That has also been my observation over 20+ years of blue birding... I have also observed juvenile birds engage in feeding fledglings... The fledglings in this video look underdeveloped (like they fledged a bit early). I have seen a female bird that was unusually "nonchalant" towards the young, foisting the entire workload on the daddy bird.... I never get tired of watching them. They are amazing birds.

    Well i don't think i can name them, but I'll embarrass myself and try. Was the first one a rather drenched tufted titmouse, then something like a nuthatch (in which neck of the woods are you), but not quite identical to the red-breasted or white breasted ones i know here so, no. I'm certain it wasn't a kinglet, sparrow, or wren (the upward tail slant though..), but idk what bird it was. Then robin, crow or blackbird/grackle, and could that last guy be a species of seagull? He seemed a bit different!

      ​@@themysteryofbluebirdboulevardMuch as I would like to forget grey squirrel, and red squirrel, they insert themselves into our experiences with our beloved wild and free birds, do they not? I've daydreamed of making a potato shooter, that would smart (smaht) with a good aim to the butt! Instead I entice them away, with the pistachios I cannot pry open for myself to eat, and walnuts that are too dark or shriveled for me or the grade A fare at my actual bird restaurant - which is only open for a few select hours most days and the birds are great at knowing when exactly to stop over. Altho this fall has been weird and puzzling. I just watched one of your longer form videos and cannot get over the footage you catch. Thanks.

    I am curious about the chatting. Usually my bluebirds chat when they are annoyed or alarmed. Do you think they were chatting at you, or is this chatting part of the mating dance?

    • @themysteryofbluebirdboulevard
      @themysteryofbluebirdboulevard Рік тому

      So... After watching many videos I've taken here is what I think. 1- I hear the chatter calls almost entirely when they're in 'flock mode' outside of breeding season. I only hear it as an alarm (someone else went into their houses,) or for communication during food consumption. 2- Wing flapping appears to be symmetrical when alerting, but unilateral when courting/greeting mates. I have sometimes included symmetrical wing flapping in "courtship" montages, but am more cautious now about differentiating. FYI.. This is a pre mating season video... Thanks for the question!
