That’s awesome!! They are such precious birds! I have to agree with you too they are so cute! Thank you so much for watching!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great day!
I love this bird. It is so pretty. I saw one a while back and it reminded me of the road runner cartoon. It didn’t fly. It just walked really really fast. Every time I moved it went farther away. I wasn’t even going after it. This is also great information. I learn a lot from your videos. Great job as always!
I work Security overnights at a boat marina in South Florida. When I used to hear the call of a killdeer, I thought it was a bat. Then one time I saw one flying in the day making the same bird call. I investigated and found out it is a killdeer.
oh...now I know why...I found a pile of speckled eggs right in the gravel down at local Barton Park...then saw a Killdeer bird, so assumed it was being foolish by laying eggs where it did...I notified park ranger, glad I did...was tempted to move them because were right in middle of the road.
Great shots and information, Gracie. I just learned about them this year and I'm now a Killdeeraholic since I found out how cool they are. Now I see them all the time. 👍😁
Had a pair of these birds hatch some babies in the gravel behind shop at work. Was happy to see 4 babies running around for a few days. Then came to work and noticed momma calling and calling for her babies. Obviously nature is brutal and it’s part of life but it was sad to see mom and dad just searching and calling for the babies for days.
Man ive been watching a couple pairs of these birds land at my job and raise their young right outside my shop door so i see them every year. I just learned that some are known to return to the same place every year to meet their mate and raise chicks. Crazy to think ive probably seen the same pairs for the last 10 years.
That’s awesome!! They are such amazing birds! I have never seen a baby killdeer to my knowledge I don’t think but I bet they are so cute!! That’s amazing that they keep coming back to raise their young there. Just proves that they feel safe there. Thank you so much for sharing!!
We had one lay her speckled eggs in our gravel driveway. I spray painted an orange circle around the eggs so we wouldn't drive on them. They were there about two weeks. Then they disappeared. I think a possum got them. Great video
I work in the city and there is a mama and daddy laying eggs in our gravel lot. I put a rock border around the nest so no one can run over the eggs. I’ve been feeding them wild bird seed but I’m going to get bugs for them. Mama is on her second eggs now. She laid four eggs the first time and all hatched but after two weeks only one was with mama and daddy. One baby disappeared in week one and then two more disappeared in week two. They don’t mind me coming around checking on them and feeding them but when my coworker tried, they acted like they were hurt and leading him away from the nest. I love them.
@@photographyadventuresbygraciel 💗 They really are amazing birds. Now every time I walk by they come up to me. They start singing their beautiful bird call and come right up to my feet. I love them. I put up more rocks around her nest because we have had more people drive around the building. They love the bugs I got. I mix them in with the bird seed. And thank you for making this video. Without you I wouldn’t have known how to help them. I really appreciate you!
i was on a gravel bed rock hounding yesterday here in montana and came across a kill deer i stopped and looked closely to spot 3 killdeer chicks huddled together it was very cool to see i did spook them sadly but then left so i dont intrude on them further. this video was very neeat thank you
Oh my gosh!! That’s awesome!! They are such precious and beautiful birds! I bet the 3 babies were just darling! Thank you so much for sharing and watching the video! I’m glad you enjoyed!! Have a great day!
Some one told me the very aggressive dive bombing in your face birds on the side of my property were killdeers and I believed her. Now after watching this vid, I know she's absolutely wrong! Geez! Goes to show u can't listen to just anyone lol.
Oh my goodness! Thankfully I can say that I have never had an aggressive Killdeer encounter in any way. They are actually one of the more peaceful birds to watch and photograph from a distance. However Bluebirds and Brown Thrashers are untrustworthy! I had a Brown Thrasher dive right in front of me one time to grab a grasshopper to feed its young! They are fast and incredible birds!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Been watching some in my car at work the last two days. There appears to be a mother and three youngsters. I haven't seen any of them attempt to fly away so far. Maybe they're still learning. I haven't tried to bother them intentionally, I'll walk out the door and see one run away and sometimes it will be the opposite direction of the others. I just sit in my car on break and watch them. The mother usually goes and gets the one that got seperated and brings them to the others.
That’s awesome that you found the chick as they are truly beautiful birds. However, I don’t recommend taking in any baby birds unless they have been abandoned by mom and if they are abandoned the best thing I can recommend is contacting your local Department of Natural Resources and get in touch with a wildlife rehabilitation facility as these birds are very fragile at this state. Thank you so much for commenting! Have a great day!
My granddaughter caught a baby killdeer in destress with no mom nor dad killdeer bird around for 2 hours we watched running frantically around then almost Pasa out by headstone in graveyard...im doing my best to feed the precious lil guy or gowl mealworms and wild bird seed dried with eveoprted milk from a syringe. HELP I need advice. I did catch the lil bird my grandbabies are 1yr 2yr 3yr aa I was putting 1 in carseat my 3yr granddaughter catch this lil baby .I'm trying to help it .....wasn't gonna leave it defenseless by it's self .
I had to do that one time and I use earth worms and crickets from a fish supply store and it depends on the age of the bird but if it has fuzz or small wings you probably need to feed him or her every 45 minutes until dark. I can’t recommend bird seed as their little bodies cannot digest it. You also don’t worry about giving the bird water as the live bait already consists of liquid. I am pretty sure it’s not supposed to have water. Any bug though will probably suit its fancy just make sure it’s in small portions so he/she can digest it.
If it too distressed, contact your local DNR wildlife rehab facilities as they are trained to deal with such measures. I could not do this however because the bird I rehabbed fell out of the nest from the tall eave of the house and was in severe shape and minutes were on the line. His mom came back to get him two weeks later.
I've loved this bird ever since I was a kid and saw one for the first time. Absolutely adorable!

Oh no! That is terrible! I agree life is sometimes very cruel!
So what happened to the babies?
My all-time favorite bird.
They are incredible!! Thank you GTR!!

Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for caring for them! I bet both parents appreciate the help! They are awesome birds! I love them too!

I found a chick killdeer and I want to take care of it until it’s ready to take on the world. Any tips on how to care for one ?
