Molting Blue Jay & Its Partner at the Feeder

The Blue Jay on this video was really bald about ten days ago. I caught him today with his finer-feathered partner. Remember, keeping quality seeds and water out this time of year helps our feather...

I just found a bird nest with 3 blue eggs

The comments here are way more helpful than the video.
Found a single egg in the nest of my garage
I found a bird egg colored blue on the sidewalk today- there was a small hole in it, probably from hitting the concrete. The small bird was moving inside and I figured it was trying to get out of the shell so I peeled the shell off without issues. Then I had a slow, wriggling baby bird in my hand. Not sure what to do so I typed in YT: What to do if you find a baby bird and this is what I found: video that said try to make a nest in a planter pot or something that you can hang from the nest it came from. Well, all I had was an old food container and the tree was too tall to put it on the tree so I put some grass i yanked into the food container, and put the bird on the grass, then put the container on the chain link fence nearby. I also put some crushed crackers on the edge of the container to maybe attract any birds. I just pray 🙏 some birds will come and help the little baby. I was so sad and didn't know what else to do. I'm a trucker and am always in my truck. Just stopped to eat and that happened.
To anyone finding a Starling egg, or Sparrow egg, they are NOT included in the list of birds not to touch, in the legal paper. Starlings, make great pets!! They are raised by hand, by many people I know. Starlings are darling! They are better Mimics than most parrots, and learn to talk, alot!! My friend found a fledgling starling, that fell from a nest, and now he is her best pet, and best friend!! It is totally legal to raise a Starling, or a Sparrow, and keep them. It is also ok, to raise them, and then, let them go. The birds outside that they hang out with, will teach them what to do. There are many alternatives. I would never leave an egg, or bird, or whatever out to die, if you do not see any activity, from adult birds nearby, given some time. If they are songbirds, etc., that are protected by that bird law sheet. Then is the time, that you would need to call and take them to an animal rehabilitator.
I have been watching birds for 50 years. I have seen a flying bird drop a egg. I have seen a bird land on a porch and drop a egg. They may have been startled off the nest while Laying a egg. They may be a dirst year egg layer and didnt realize rhe egg was coming out. Thats why there is no nest where you find a egg.
Mine nested in a fake tree And it fell over cause of the wind and the eggs cracked may they rest in peace 😭❤️❤️❤️
I just found a robin's egg in the bird bath of our school's garden. This was a very helpful video. I am glad we watched it before making any decisions.
Just found an egg I'm pretty sure it's a House sparrow idk what to do so I've watched a bunch of videos
This was not helpful. What do I do with the egg laying randomly in my back yard. I need to cut grass and it's only 1. I got no tips from this
Can someone help me FAST, I have blue eggs 🪺 in my patio the bird mother seats on the nest 🪹 all day, but I was walking and she got scared and flew away from the nest and it was the evening and she still didn’t come back. Is she ever will return for her eggs I feel so bad?
this is so cool!!!!....so many facts😎
I just found an American Robin egg that I wish I could have helped in some way. Thank you for the video, I'll be reaching out to a family friend that is a rehabilitator to see if they can do anything!
Maam plz plz reply..dove leave 2 eggs in nest at my homes roof from last 10 days i notice that both doves are not visit in nest.. what can i do of 2 eggs can i hatch??
Clicked on thinking I was going to get some answers and all I got was a bunch of mumbo jumbo….mumbo jumbo.. mumbo jumbo…. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻bye!
I found an egg idk what to do
I found a bird nest on the street by the mailbox at my neighbors. And a couple blue eggs. I’m watching this video in hopes to do hire out what to do. I cannot just leave it here!
Oookkk! I guess I have to do the right thing here. This is the first bird egg I found and I was so ready to give it a shot but after watching this, I can understand how hard it would be and how illegal it actually is. I’m so sad though.
Finally I can tell people it's a house sparrow that law doesn't apply please don't stop me from doing my job and removing the bird nest.
I found a bird nest with eggs under some plastic in my yard. I didn't touch the nest and left the eggs alone. I check to make sure the eggs are unbothered.
God created nature and put us in charge of being good stewards of His creation. Although in most cases it’s best to leave the bird or egg be, there are some instances where one may and according to their heart, training, and resources could possibly have a good result. We are all just humans here living our natural law so no one has the right to say to another what they can and can’t do if it was with good intent. There is something beautiful within when some see a budding life and can intervene and assist. Some are willing to take the chance and learn something from the devotion and lessons they learn about animals. I’m glad there are videos of families teaching their kids how to look after animals and their offspring. What a gift it is to be a parent and even help another species along wirh some help with their kids. Lol
Nice jadeite bowl
I found a bird nest in the chair on my front porch yesterday! As much as I wanted to keep checking on the small eggs I was afraid I would draw predators attention to the nest. Through watching your video you covered this factor actually and I really appreciate your help! Also I wasn’t aware of all of the laws in place to protect the birds. I’m glad they’re there though. Thank you for making this video and making your own experience informative for others.
So you guys a dove made a nest in my balcony and I’ve been keeping a close watch on her for a while. Today, unfortunately the bird isn’t there and the nest seems to be pretty ruined. But I checked and there is still at least one egg in there. There might be more than one I’m not sure. What do I need to do? I’m afraid I might do something wrong. If I touch the eggs, will the babies inside die? Please help me you guys.
Great question 👍 Pls can you give us an answer as i have the same question as above ?
I constantly find Robin's eggs on the ground. But nothing comes from them when I incubate them . We have No Trees in our yard or anywhere on our property. Why or what's up with them doing this?
So I recently found a tiny bird egg that fell out of it nest,sadly I think we cannot save it ,the egg broke and there’s no sign of movement so I was trying to see what I could do ,but I have no faith 😞
This video is Only a warning & a lot of talk. Pretty much saying Stay away from birds eggs!! Obv it’s an er that’s why we’re searching...😮
My dad brought in two little eggs. I can’t tell what bird they are exactly, but I just emailed my agricultural science teacher to see if he wanted to try and incubate them
I walked past a baby bird chirping in the grass… we left it came back a day later it was dead in the grass. Said we’d try to help next time
lady cover your peptalk fast ... poor babies are dying
This doesn't tell us anything of what to actually DO when found except besides the obvious which is call a bird rehabilitation place and hope they care enough about the specific species to want take the time to bring it in and care for it. Not helpful. Everything else this women has said is extremely obvious and well known by any basic individual.
I just wanted to know how to keep it from dying
I was out walking my dog this morning and she was pulling me over to a bush so I followed her. She picked up the scent of a deceased bird. I immediately steered her away before noticing a little 🪹 and two grayish-green eggs speckled with brown spots. A third egg was in the process of being pushed out but was killed in the fight. Naturally I picked them up and brought them inside and put them in a container thinking maybe I could try to incubate them, but then another part of me kicked in and knew that there was other options. After watching this video and making a few phone calls, I was simply advised to bring them back outside and put the nest as high in the bush as I could in hopes that the father would find and take care of them. I whispered to them and placed them back. Mother Nature definitely has her own way of doing things and we as humans have a duty to respect Her, despite our egos wanting to do otherwise. As bad as I wanted to care for them, I knew deep down it would be a task I wasn’t ready for and every second counted for them. Doing what I was told is a simple way to care for them ❤
