Recap: Babies are fed. Woodpecker begins intrusion. After a couple of minutes it can now enter the nest and takes the first baby. Parent returns and notices the enlarged entrance, and notices one of the babies missing. Parent recognizes presence of another bird outside, which is the Woodpecker. Woodpecker attacks and pulls parent out. Woodpecker subsequently takes another baby. And another. And another. Parent returns to see less babies (final time parent is seen). Woodpecker returns to take remaining babies. My guess is that the babies were abandoned by the remaining parent, because I think when the Woodpecker pulled the other parent out it was either injured, killed or just abandoned the nest.
The first parent (mother) likely died off screen. The second parent (father) the less aware and bigger bird likely followed soon after for the pecker to have casual access like that.
Note to people who make bird houses....make the entry hole a little smaller or put a small piece of sheet metal around the hole so woodpeckers can't peck through it. Also make the boxes a little deeper.
It can't a hole in the sides if there's nothing to stand on make sure no branches or anything and reinforce the hole so it can't widen it. Plus it's much harder to start a new hole than widen one even if the woodpecker is even intelligent enough that making a hole in the side of the box will lead to the same nest, it's obvious to us but maybe not a woodpecker
This is why you must have an extension with a metal collar around the opening of a nest box. Doesn't bother the small residents at all, prevents massacres like this.
@@its_taps are you joking?? The woodpecker often scouts nests for food The chicks are blind and only can understand sound. Di you expect babies to be silent when Jason enters the room??
It didn't eat the babies. You think a bird that size would eat ten baby birds in a matter of minutes?it was throwing the chicks out so it could start a nest of its own. Cavity nesting birds regularly do this because since these type of nesting sites are usually hard to find.
it's nature. the titmouse chooses this place, it turns out to be unsuccessful, the woodpecker gets to the chicks. metal rings are the same interference with the natural course of things, as, for example, shooting woodpeckers around the nest of tits.

Bruh, that hole is way too big and looks like it was clumsily enlarged as well. All the video I get recommended from your channel are raids too. You made a buffet for clicks didn't you?
Once watched several squirrels mess with a blue jay nest...they were after the eggs. Jays were squawking all kinds of noise, tried running off the squirrels. Then they left and I thought they had given up. Within a minute, they came back with 3 big crows. I watched those 2 jays sit on the fence while those crows swooshed up into that tree. Leaves and branches everywhere, 3 squirrels come hauling ass out of the tree with those cawing crows right up their tails. Those crows tormented those squirrels for an hour, chasing them up and down trees, back and forth across the yards, facinating.
I lived near Hampstead Heath and after a storm I found a magpie chick that had fallen out of her nest. I hand-raised and took it into the Heath to catch insect. I was spotted by a flock of crows and they attacked me The Birds' style. I first thought they would attack the magpie but nope, I was their target.

This shows that if you put up nest boxes for Eurasian Blue Tits or other smaller species in that area, you need to install metal plating to prevent predators from enlarging the entrance hole. It is certainly natural for woodpeckers to prey on nests. But boxes that attract birds to nest in them create an unnatural •situation• of vulnerability to such predation, because they are easier for predators to find than are natural nest cavities, and it’s easier for predators to enlarge the entrance of a box (compared to one in a tree trunk) to get to eggs or nestlings. So if you set up nest boxes, you should be conscientious about taking steps to mitigate the ways in which they may render the birds who use them unusually vulnerable to predation.
@Reb Slav - No, I think the vast majority of people who install nest boxes, and even the vast majority of those who also place webcams in them, are not driven by a cynical thirst to get views at all costs. There are probably a few folks around who are governed by only the basest of motivations, but I see no reason to ascribe those to anyone without better evidence than a dyspeptic view of human nature.
@@ColumbiaB i didnt say the vast majority. but there are certainly plenty of channels that do so, along with a huge monkey torture network that youtube has allowed on here for years to this day.. humans are baser and sadistic. they are not as complex as what you would like to believe.. .. but your young.. and also a woman, so you will learn very slowly... or never
Does it devours all chickens for itself or it is just predating to feed its own babies? I'm asking because this attack is so fast... why doesn't the woodpecker just eat them all right in the nest, if it's bigger than both parents?
Might be, but most probably - it's disappointment that makes us feel mad and judgemental on a dude, who just made a nest box for tits without bad intentions
@@otnepxui yeah it's nobody's fault, idk why people get mad at it, shit happens. All kinds of animals eat baby birds, just look up horses and deer eating bird chicks, it's the exact same thing!
Am I the only one siding with the woodpecker? There is a number of jokes that come to my mind: • Human: "Small tits are not good for feeding." Woodpecker: "Wrong." • Nestlings: "Haha! The hole is too small for you! What'cha gonna do? Chisel your way through?" Woodpecker: "Actually…" Nestlings: SIKE! • Nestlings: "Oh great, food!" Woodpecker: "Correct…" Well, it's a a bird-eat-bird-world out there. So relax, those small birds are prey, they have high reproduction rates. They won't die out any time soon.
A metal guard can keep away the predators! Buy or make yourself, but it's worth it! I use at least 4-5mm thick aluminum or 3mm stainless steel! And more deeper house: 1-2 inches deeper also helps! Better deeper than too shallow! God bless you for sharing!
What a dumb fckn comment, lmao 😂!! So we should ,,hurt nature'' or what? Or behave like animals because animals do? Or what is it that you wanna say? Every one knows that animals eat animals, but that's not the point. It's about the billions and billions of animals being especially breeded to just slaughter or exploit them and in most cases let them suffer.
@@vicious3526 I'm not Vegan and i sometimes eat meat. Buying good meat at local farms to avoid the meat industry is not a hard thing to do where i live, otherwise i might have become a vegetarian. People can even understand, accept and support another lifestyle without directly following it. Because a different choice of food does not prevent an intelligent, reflective being from seeing someone else's point. And as such i see their points about health, i see the harm done by the food industry and avoid it when ever i can and fully respect Vegans for their choice, even if i do not want to go the same way entirely. Btw. that's also where mankind usually differes from animals: To be reflective and aware of things. Maybe you should appreciate the great gift of self reflection a bit more and try to not directly put people into the next fitting drawer.
well, no one is defending the worms. people kept inserting the idea the woodpecker is the villans in this scenario, but that's based on our moral standards. Woodpeckers got their offsprings to feed too, and high up the food chain eagle and hawks are going after them. Really, their best defense may be better nesting locations, hideouts, and nest frequency
Thought woodpeckers feeds on insects and larvas ! There no difference to falcons and Craws. It’s the food chain after all , the creator is Great managing things.
Nest boxes should have sheet metal around the opening to stop squirrels and other predators attacking the family. Don't provide nest boxes if you don't provide adequate protection.
When I was younger, I used to think that animals that werr related wouldn't eat each other. For example, I thought that a lion would recognize a kitten and refrain from eating it. And that a big bird wouldn't eat a little species of bird. Boy was I wrong.
That is hard to watch. I can see that the Mom Honeywell knew something was not right when she came back and she didn't see the nest the same way she left it, after the second feeding she doesn't go back to the nest. It is really a harsh reality. :-(
I watched the full time lapse first, so I already knew they didn't all make it. Its interesting to see what exactly happened. Mom and dad might have another nest.
It is not recommended to install artificial bird nests that are less secure than wooden nests. For small birds, this poor human nest is no different from a trap.
Wood peckers are general assholes. I had a big line of bird food I set right outside my window and a lot of birds came to feed, from crows to the smallest finch all at the same time, no issues......that's until a wood pecker shows up. There was no gaps between the other birds for the wood pecker to get some seeds so what did he/she do? Grab a finch and throw it out of the way, rather aggressively.
I used to have a woodpecker that would peck at my window every morning just to piss me off, I would bang at the window and he would fly back to a tree and just look at me until I went away and then would start doing it again. If you get the chance to strangle a woodpecker don't hesitate to

So if you set up nest boxes, you should be conscientious about taking steps to mitigate the ways in which they may render the birds who use them unusually vulnerable to predation.
yeah but they wont do that cause they will get less views
@Reb Slav - No, I think the vast majority of people who install nest boxes, and even the vast majority of those who also place webcams in them, are not driven by a cynical thirst to get views at all costs. There are probably a few folks around who are governed by only the basest of motivations, but I see no reason to ascribe those to anyone without better evidence than a dyspeptic view of human nature.
@@ColumbiaB i didnt say the vast majority. but there are certainly plenty of channels that do so, along with a huge monkey torture network that youtube has allowed on here for years to this day.. humans are baser and sadistic. they are not as complex as what you would like to believe.. .. but your young.. and also a woman, so you will learn very slowly... or never
@@ColumbiaB + like for teaching me a new word...dyspeptic. I like it.
Nature is cruel.
That's the point. Not everyone can be a pussy vegan.
Nature has no morals. It has only one desire, one goal: Survive by any means necessary.
@@truefailure6359 Nietzsche would be proud! 😛
@@edwardgaines6561 humans can, they just choose not to.
es linda... pero si. es cruel
It was one of the most biggest bird familly.
That's why when building a nest box ...ALWAYS put a metal ring around the hole ...will put a stop to this !!!
Does it devours all chickens for itself or it is just predating to feed its own babies? I'm asking because this attack is so fast... why doesn't the woodpecker just eat them all right in the nest, if it's bigger than both parents?
@Devin McPherson Wood peckers feed on the brains of smaller birds. You can look it up, there are videos.
The mum looks around thinking am I at the right nest? I’m sure our door was a little smaller?
Anyone else find it ironic that the baby’s chirping is what gives them away
3:00 did it just kill one of the parents
jip sadly
Damn I didnt know woodpeckers did that.Saw blue jays do that to a robins nest but never a woodpecker.
XD Why wouldnt any larger bird eat a smaller one? Its shown in record that larger Denisovans cannibalized smaller humans.
When you make a nesting box for smaller birds - it's important to make a nice edging from sheet metal around the hole
I have a feeling they wanted the footage :(
Might be, but most probably - it's disappointment that makes us feel mad and judgemental on a dude, who just made a nest box for tits without bad intentions
@@otnepxui yeah it's nobody's fault, idk why people get mad at it, shit happens. All kinds of animals eat baby birds, just look up horses and deer eating bird chicks, it's the exact same thing!
@@viktorbirkeland6520 Nature can be changed, fortunately.
@@lucifermorningstarwishesyo2607 of course. That's why species are dying off somewhat faster than they normally would, since we are changing nature!
Nature is cruel, but the woodpecker wants to live as well.
Who cares if it wants to live?
I'd kill it all the same after seeing what it just pulled off.
Am I the only one siding with the woodpecker? There is a number of jokes that come to my mind:
• Human: "Small tits are not good for feeding." Woodpecker: "Wrong."
• Nestlings: "Haha! The hole is too small for you! What'cha gonna do? Chisel your way through?" Woodpecker: "Actually…" Nestlings: SIKE!
• Nestlings: "Oh great, food!" Woodpecker: "Correct…"
Well, it's a a bird-eat-bird-world out there. So relax, those small birds are prey, they have high reproduction rates. They won't die out any time soon.
Baby birds are annoying sausages who shit everywhere. Eating them = putting them to good use.
Mama bird at 2:00 "What the fuck happened to the door?"
Wow he actually made the entrance bigger.
A metal guard can keep away the predators! Buy or make yourself, but it's worth it! I use at least 4-5mm thick aluminum or 3mm stainless steel! And more deeper house: 1-2 inches deeper also helps! Better deeper than too shallow! God bless you for sharing!
you can stop bullets with that!
I'm an idiot. I thought woodpeckers eat wood.
So basically you didn't know how to make a bird house, and you made a death trap for any bird that comes there to hatch, and you put a video of it?
This is why you put steel plates around the hole.
Does the woodpecker eat the chicks? Or just throw them out of the nest to die?
3:05 It fought but Woody be like "gtfo, I'm hungry!"
That is too funny
a solid steel ring surrounding the hole...
Vegans: We shouldn't hurt nature, nature is beautiful!
Nature:
What a dumb fckn comment, lmao 😂!! So we should ,,hurt nature'' or what? Or behave like animals because animals do? Or what is it that you wanna say? Every one knows that animals eat animals, but that's not the point. It's about the billions and billions of animals being especially breeded to just slaughter or exploit them and in most cases let them suffer.
@@neo_devaney shhh vegan
@@vicious3526 I'm not Vegan and i sometimes eat meat. Buying good meat at local farms to avoid the meat industry is not a hard thing to do where i live, otherwise i might have become a vegetarian. People can even understand, accept and support another lifestyle without directly following it. Because a different choice of food does not prevent an intelligent, reflective being from seeing someone else's point. And as such i see their points about health, i see the harm done by the food industry and avoid it when ever i can and fully respect Vegans for their choice, even if i do not want to go the same way entirely. Btw. that's also where mankind usually differes from animals: To be reflective and aware of things. Maybe you should appreciate the great gift of self reflection a bit more and try to not directly put people into the next fitting drawer.
@@neo_devaney shhhh
@@neo_devaney shhhh
I'm confused - did the woodpecker kill the mother bird? Or did the mother bird just flee, and then come back?
the mom survived, opened her sealed gun storage, and took revenge on the woodpecker mafia
7:30 pm and its bright daylight outside.
Woodpecker hunting at night
Chick keeps decreasing and increasing
yeah , the number of chicks keeps varying.
well, no one is defending the worms. people kept inserting the idea the woodpecker is the villans in this scenario, but that's based on our moral standards. Woodpeckers got their offsprings to feed too, and high up the food chain eagle and hawks are going after them. Really, their best defense may be better nesting locations, hideouts, and nest frequency
Thought woodpeckers feeds on insects and larvas !
There no difference to falcons and Craws.
It’s the food chain after all , the creator is Great managing things.
Baby birds: food?
Woodpecker: yes but for me
This is like a bird version of paranormal activity
You gotta help put metal around a small hole
Nest boxes should have sheet metal around the opening to stop squirrels and other predators attacking the family. Don't provide nest boxes if you don't provide adequate protection.
Yes they should have sheet metal around the opening like a natural nest does
When I was younger, I used to think that animals that werr related wouldn't eat each other. For example, I thought that a lion would recognize a kitten and refrain from eating it. And that a big bird wouldn't eat a little species of bird. Boy was I wrong.
I am so shocked... so stunned... Bring them back, Woodpecker! Long ago I lost faith in humanity and now in you, Woodpecker....
Does the woodpecker actually eat the chicks, or just grab them and toss them out of the nest to the ground?
They eat other birds, both babies and adults
woodpeeker: Why should I take one if I can take all?
That is hard to watch. I can see that the Mom Honeywell knew something was not right when she came back and she didn't see the nest the same way she left it, after the second feeding she doesn't go back to the nest. It is really a harsh reality. :-(
You could see the confusion on the mother's face when she came back with food and saw the house was wrecked.
Perhaps the entry hole can be made of something stronger than wood?
Yes there's metal plates you can buy to re enforce the wood around the hole.
I watched the full time lapse first, so I already knew they didn't all make it. Its interesting to see what exactly happened. Mom and dad might have another nest.
It is not recommended to install artificial bird nests that are less secure than wooden nests. For small birds, this poor human nest is no different from a trap.
man i hate woodpeckers now
Wood peckers are general assholes. I had a big line of bird food I set right outside my window and a lot of birds came to feed, from crows to the smallest finch all at the same time, no issues......that's until a wood pecker shows up. There was no gaps between the other birds for the wood pecker to get some seeds so what did he/she do? Grab a finch and throw it out of the way, rather aggressively.
Faut bien qu'il se nourris
U and me one on one. Let's go outside f###ing woodpecker..
I used to have a woodpecker that would peck at my window every morning just to piss me off, I would bang at the window and he would fly back to a tree and just look at me until I went away and then would start doing it again. If you get the chance to strangle a woodpecker don't hesitate to
@@wolfpackflt670 Animals do whatever they need to do for food. It is what it is. They gotta eat to survive like we do. Even if it costs an animal it's fucking life. Don't get fucking butt hurt over it.
Isn't there a way to stop them getting in like a tunnrl
Remember to add metal shield around hole! Always! and with the correct size of the entrance! otherwise such a house is a free bar for a woodpecker..🍔🍔🍔🐤🐤🐤🐤🐦
Woodpeckers can just open a new hole in the nestbox. The only way to protect the nest is to hide it well.
@@nautilus2612 he seems to widen the existing entrance.
I didn't know woodpeckers ate other bird species I thought they were insectivores. Taught me something
depends on the species of Woodpecker. Some smaller ones are more into bugs, but larger ones will eat smaller birds.
4:51 lmao how the Woodpecker squeezes in and can barely get out
Can you tell me about the type of camera you used?
1:38 "Here's Johnny"
I never knew woodpeckers were like this. It’s unfortunate that they can’t be nice neighbors.
My heart breaks watching this.
My belly growls watching this.
My too😢
And the mother/father also survive to save the babys but that wood pecker kill her/him too
