Just got off the phone with my local Wild Birds store owner. He had man wise suggestions. Buy a birdhouse with an overhang then attach a piece of cardboard bending down to conceal the hole. If the wrens don't see the hole they will NOT enter the house. You have to attach the cardboard to leave enough room so the chickadees can enter and leave. But bend it in an L shape from overhang to obscure hole entrance. They compete with chickadees for caterpillars as both have to feed their young caterpillars not seed.
After watching this video, I have just realized why last summer one morning chickadee babies in my first bird-house suddenly disappeared then house wrens moved in right that afternoon even under the eyes of chickadee parents. Before I thought it was Raccoon that had eaten all baby birds, but here looks like house wrens were the killer✊
House wrens have one of the largest ranges of any song bird in the world. Its important to put many bird houses that have smaller holes for the wrens away from the other nest boxes. Male wrens have territory sizes depending on the surrounding area and their age. They build multiple nests for the female to check and pick what one is best so put a lot of small holed nest boxes together in an area to keep the male in that area and keep him building. Try keeping the nest boxes that aren't for the wrens far away from the wrens about a 100ft or so. House wrens don't like dense forest. It is hard for them to see predictors. House wrens are more of an open brushy habitat with a stand of trees near by. Keep blue bird nest boxes also far away. If u live in a very urban setting are u most likely wont have to worry about this seeming chickadees, blue birds, and tuftitmouse are more rural area birds.
Female house wrens may or may not be discouraged by nest boxes that have bigger holes. House wrens like appropriate size nest holes but may have to check nest boxes with larger holes if small hole nest boxes are not available. Keep in mind that they will nest in natural homes as well (meaning tree cavities or maybe in your house or garage) house wrens will attack other nest boxes (even if they have their own) if they feel that the other family is completion for space or food. My female did not lay eggs because of the nest box hole size.
And one more thing. If u have a large property u may want to put two groups of small hole nesting boxes far from each other and other nest boxes. This way if tour property is large enough to have 2 male house wrens they will both be preoccupied with their nest boxes. Other wise the two males might fight and the looser will go try to get a chickadee or tuftitmouse nest box.
Wow, I did not know this!! Thanks for the video, as sad as it is . I know and have witnessed House Sparrows doing this to my Tree Swallows. In fact, when I extracted the nest mid season, the poor tree swallow was still there, backed into the corner of the box with its wings spread, and the sparrow just built its nest against it and carried on... No, nature is not nice at all, and yes our putting up nest boxes and feeders for that matter could be the dinner bell, but I think that the risks are worth the rewards. Last year however (summer of 2020) was a very wet year when it needed to be dry, and most of my nestlings died of starvation, not predation. Hopefully this year will be better, and I will repair the boxes, and monitor the boxes more carefully after watching these videos. Thanks for sharing.
Зачем делать такое большое отверстие? Автор, надо думать немного вначале. 25-27 мм синице больше не надо. И при этом бывают попытки влезть внутрь, но не успешные. А тут леток 40-45 как я вижу.
Для большой синицы делают отверстие 35 мм. Для лазоревки - 27-30 мм. Но в будке для больших синиц может поселиться лазоревка. При этом, в отверстие 35 мм спокойно пролезает воробей. Так что диаметром летка тут не защитишь. Больших синиц - точно не защитишь. Этой весной я повесил будки для синиц. В одной заселились большие синицы и вывели потомство. Но где-то за 2-5 дней до вылета птенцов воробей всех птенцов (6 или 7) убил! Какая сучья дрянь этот воробей!
I noticed 2 baby birds were left after the initial attack. It looks like the first one on the right ended up eating and pooping first and made it's way back to the nest first. Then the second baby is fed that's still outside the nest and makes it's way back to the nest second but in the last attack by the wren, it appears that it only pulls 1 more chick out from the nest, not two. What happened to that first bird that made it back to the nest?
I finally prevented house wrens from attacking my little chickadees by nailing a paint stirer stick to the roof, thereby blocking visibility of the entrance hole. This still allowed chickadee parents to enter and exit because the roof overhangs the hole.
It looks to me: chickadee is the most vulnerable to enemies! Only because of this fact; from now I will defend them and forever! Only bird houses for Chickadee - smallest and less protected!
I have a nest box in the back yard, no one disturbs the box, exec me, ( I hope). The stand is a plastic fence post. It is slippery and prevents the snake from climbing and I don't have plants around the post.
I thought the wren didn't get the last one. I know there were initially 6, with 4 of them getting yanked out, leaving just 2, which were no longer in the actual nest itself. Momma comes back, chills out for a bit, eventually gets the 2 aforementioned birds back INTO the nest, and before too long she had to split again. I definitely saw the 1st out of the 2 grabbed by the wren, but not the second one. Was it grabbed at the same time as the first chick? Or did the wren grab it when it was picking up large amounts of the nest it was destroying and throwing it away, which just happened to have a baby chickadee in it? Anyway, this stuff is ALWAYS interesting to me.
16:08 shows the chickadee has a partner looking for food. It looks like they are not programmed to have the strategy that one to look for food and the other one to protect the babies.
Nest boxes have become billboards for predators on where to find the resources. It’s something we in the birding world did not think about. So many research papers can be written on this paradigm.
The birds didn’t attack to eat the chicks it was territorial purposes. The nest box wasn’t a billboard. The wren was removing food competition and also removed nesting materials in an effort to wreck the nest enough that the chickadees won’t try to nest there again. They share food resources. This is part of the reason people will reduce the entrance size of nesting boxes to the smallest size possible for chickadees. But obviously the person who put up the box doesn’t have control over which birds choose to nest inside but people who know they get chickadees will put up nesting boxes with a much smaller entrance hole than this
Keep in mind that even though the House Wren won this territorial battle, that it only takes one bird of prey or corvid (not to mention other species) to predate the wrens and do to them what they did to the Chickadees. House Wrens have plenty of predators so beating their chests over a hapless group of Chickadees is not what this is about. Nature took its course, but nature is never over.
I had blue tits in my box nest before. There was 7 baby's, sadly they died because other birds were eating them. So I decided to make a new chance and I got 9 baby's this time and I do really hope they make it this time
Where did you see it here? The black headed bird in the video was the mother. The brown bird was removing the other birds chicks to take control of the nest.
@@shantakidd6230 Did you watch the video? 8:40 She removes the faecal sac 9:00 feeding 9:20 waking the chick up 10:28 feeding All done outside the nest cup.
Yes this actually very unique footage for a few reasons. The mother bird re warms the chick and draws both of them back to the nest cup along with feeding outside of the nesting cup. The European equivalent of these…the coaltit or the various other tits will not do this. They would have just ignored the young chicks outside of nesting cup. They would have tried to remove the chicks themselves because of how sluggish they were. The part of the issue is they used a nesting box with too large of an opening.
fucking wrens killed the newborn chickadees in the birdhouse I made for them last year. What's extra shitty is that these chickadees trusted me and nested relatively close to my house every year, now I'm sure they won't return
Both species are native. A large enough area has to be kept clear of other birds to provide enough weed seed and insects to feed a family. That is why birds sing to us really threaten each other to them. House wrens prefer nesting near thick bushes and man made structures while blue birds prefer large open areas of grass kept short by grazing animals or frequent mowing. It is in habitat border areas or in places where short grass is allowed to grow up that chickadees and blue birds lose out. Wrens must have no sense of smell. We have had wrens raise a family right on top of a fully grown dead blue bird chick earning the species a new name, the deadly tywrennasaurus rex. They are related you know.
I love both chickadees and wrens. I would never have believed wrens would do this if I hadn't seen the video. Nature is cruel. It looked like there might have been only one chickadee parent. If there were two to guard the nest, the attack might not have happened.
The entrance-hole was too big! Resize them into a smaller hole to 32 mm and secure it with metal around it to prevent damages and this will be not happen again!
@silverbud birdhouses are a bad idea for 2 reasons. 1 it's easy picking and easy spotted. 2 without these fucking bird boxes in my goddamn neighboorhood i can actually fucking sleep at sun rise.
Nenavidim tieto videa, vyvolavaju viac otazok ako davaju odpovede. Ten utocnik sleduje to hniezdo, lebo utocia vtedy ked tam niesu rodicia. Ak sleduje hniezdo a caka na vhodny moment, kto sa stara o jeho hniezdo, alebo je to nejaky jeho instinkt zabijat ine druhy? Preco to hniezdo na konci nicil, pokial to nechcel obsadit? V com si tieto dva druhy konkuruju, ze to ide do takehoto konfliktu? V prirode, okrem cloveka, nic nezabija pre nic za nic, v prirode sa zabija pre potravu alebo pre teritorium, na ktorom sa potrava vyskytuje ale zeby takto sofistikovane, ze zabije potomstvo?
I don't think wrens eat baby birds. They destroy other nests in their territory to secure enough food for their own offspring. It's a very common strategy in nature.
Not all birds and people are nice... There are probably some wrens that would not behave that way. And there certainly are people that would not home invade.
I am really sad for mama, she did a big efforts to feed her babies but at the end she lost them OMG nature is big battel between alot of parties to get a survival
Astonishing, the way the chickadee manages to coax the two chicks back into the nest, only for it to be in vain in the end :( Most interesting footage.
Warum wurde ein so großes Einflugloch gewählt???? Da kann ja jeder Vogel rein und raus wie es ihm beliebt! Für eine Meise scheint mir das Loch viel zu groß.
I have read most of comments. People, be very careful, the bird doesn't have any feeling and the way it tried to feed their empty nest explains that it's not human being ...
just recently I witnessed a pair of bluebirds and a pair of goldfinch fighting with a house wren in the bluebird house. The wren must have won as it took up residence in the house.
Yes! Baby birds will born in it, and after that they will be microwaved by humans. All of them. They will chirp and cry in pain, call their mommy who is being bissected as heat and pain will slowly build up in their tiny bodies until their organs will rupture, and life will leave their tiny stupid bodies.
The birds that use these nest boxes are cavity nesters. They don't build nests in the open. If the nest was in a nest box it would be in a tree cavity. The person installing the nest box has to make sure the entrance opening is appropriate for the type of birds they intend to have nesting in it and make sure the entrance opening isn't too large. If the entrance hole us too big this is what happens.
Wrens are extremely territorial. If this nesting box is in or close to his/her territory, this is common behavior. Nothing different than what people do to each other, really. They just destroy lives in other ways to promote their own agenda.
SealMr2 why didnt you go and do it instead of rambling over the Internet and demanding what others should do? what did you do today to help animals? scratched your hairy ass?
Wow, very dramatic video. Were the babies taken away for food, or was this a territorial thing? With the nest destruction, it looks like it's probably territorial.
Does she not have a mate that will bring her food. That’s why you never leave the babies. The dad does the hunting. Maybe she’s a Widow struggling alone.
I've had several species of birds nest in the potted plants on my balcony for several years. Usually both mom & dad work feverishly all day bringing bugs in asap. The baby birds are left alone about 80-90% of the time, while parents hunt separately.
I love it how after the wren takes away most of the babies and the parent comes back- you can very loudly hear the wren singing away in victory right to them.
This is an older video but I just saw it......And it seams that the wren really wanted this nest box.....it was not eating the chicks like a hawk would...it was flying out with them and doping them somewhere....then came back after there were no more babies...and rearranged the nesting to suit itself.....It must have waited till the Chickadees finally gave up the next box ...then took it over as it's own...of course all the baby chicks would have died left alone somewhere...and the Chickadee pair would have had to build a new nest somewhere else and lay new eggs.....this is just nature....( nice real-estate...can turn out to be criminal when a neighbor breaks into your home and kills your kids and takes your home)...yikes....

The bird was just killing off future food competition.
Its natural

Nature is wonderful
Um, birds dont care about conduct. Their birds.
Every bird hates other birds, just like humans, but in the bird world they can't help it, humans can!
Entrance opening is too large for this species of bird...it allows predatory birds to enter the box

@Dio Brando I'm sure you saw it a lot, Pet Shop probably prefers his meals to be alive and chirping. He is a cool birb, unlike these pink failures.
The ugly ass babies are there to provide nourishment to animals above them in the food chain. Although cruel, this is the lifecycles of nature.

It's the same logic when the Cuckoo baby put out the other chick from the nest, in front of the mon, and she nothing does.
Why would a House Wren do this? Does it want the nest?
It might want the nest, or it might want to eliminate the competition for food, to give its own young ones a better chance.

Yes that's exactly what it did
I think the other Bird Wren eats it, seems she kills the first two to save for later
That's so sad, the mother shouldn' t have left.
that is freak sad that makes me mad as hell.
What did the wren do to those chicks? Did she eat them? Or feed them to her babies? Or did she just drop them outside to kill them?

The birds that use these nest boxes are cavity nesters. They don't build nests in the open. If the nest was in a nest box it would be in a tree cavity. The person installing the nest box has to make sure the entrance opening is appropriate for the type of birds they intend to have nesting in it and make sure the entrance opening isn't too large. If the entrance hole us too big this is what happens.
1 chicks survived ! Anybody know this ?
It's in the description box
Наверное эта птица хотела занять домик и всех выкинула.
Wrens are extremely territorial. If this nesting box is in or close to his/her territory, this is common behavior. Nothing different than what people do to each other, really. They just destroy lives in other ways to promote their own agenda.
Carol Stella……What a horrible thing to say. Someone must have hurt your feelings little snowflake, need a safe space?
Такой дурной матери птицы я ещё не видел...вместо того, чтобы сидеть в гнезде и охранять своих птенцов, она часами где-то летает...
We have House Wren family in a plant pot i never think that they are killers....😢
oh que malvados los chercanes :(
Could you not have put a can or bottle or live insects outside the nest so that the mother bird would always be close by?
SealMr2 why didnt you go and do it instead of rambling over the Internet and demanding what others should do? what did you do today to help animals? scratched your hairy ass?
Paweł Hetman as expected from someone like you. Did your mother teach you any manner ?
Wow, very dramatic video. Were the babies taken away for food, or was this a territorial thing? With the nest destruction, it looks like it's probably territorial.
Indeed, territorial. With the wrens being so small and petite, their best defense of their own nest is to make sure there are no other nests near.
Triste
Why she do that ??
These baby birds want to eat. The best way to avoid food competition is to throw them on the ground where ants will do the rest.
Это ужасно... Зачем он выкинул птенцов?
Чтобы они в будущем не отжирали часть ресурсов. Меньше народу - больше кислороду, меньше птенцов - больше жуков...
@@TovKafurон убил маленьких ляличек 😥 Бедная мамочка. Это самое ужасное видео, я до сих пор в себя придти не могу...
I don't understand why she kept leaving the nest for when she had the dad bring her food
Does she not have a mate that will bring her food. That’s why you never leave the babies. The dad does the hunting. Maybe she’s a Widow struggling alone.
Dad's in the pub enjoying a pint
I've had several species of birds nest in the potted plants on my balcony for several years. Usually both mom & dad work feverishly all day bringing bugs in asap. The baby birds are left alone about 80-90% of the time, while parents hunt separately.
I love it how after the wren takes away most of the babies and the parent comes back- you can very loudly hear the wren singing away in victory right to them.
How can you loved that? Its very sad for Mother.
Tetea Ori Nature is brutal and amazing.
I know right? But still,don't love it LOL
msofficial fuckyn weird
Just an innocent child :) hmmmmmmmmmmm....
Бедная мама птичка,так жалко её
кто ее ограбил?
The hole is too big
That wren runs an illegal adoption agency!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
นกตัวนั้นเอาลูกนกไปไหน ?
So many emotions in one video. 😭
Seems birds have certain behavior in common with people.
Are you stealing babies to eat them? o_O
We are just smart animals after all...............
Does wren eat those babies?
Dag 2 of my favorite
That's sad😵
This is an older video but I just saw it......And it seams that the wren really wanted this nest box.....it was not eating the chicks like a hawk would...it was flying out with them and doping them somewhere....then came back after there were no more babies...and rearranged the nesting to suit itself.....It must have waited till the Chickadees finally gave up the next box ...then took it over as it's own...of course all the baby chicks would have died left alone somewhere...and the Chickadee pair would have had to build a new nest somewhere else and lay new eggs.....this is just nature....( nice real-estate...can turn out to be criminal when a neighbor breaks into your home and kills your kids and takes your home)...yikes....
painful
Ai que dó
بسم الله مستحيل اصدق انه هاذي تصرفات عصفور صغير احس انهاا شيطان على شكل عصفور ذبحت الفراخ بعدين دمرت العش وش هاذي 😕😕😕
That was sad wren was so cruel but it is nature
So good
I like house wrens didn't know they participated in this house sparrow type of behaviour. I take it they were after the nest box for themselves?
😭😭😭😢😢
They just dislike because they found it sad.. bullshit 😂😂😂😂😂
oh noo her babies are gone
ah... hole size matters.
Pause
反正鳥媽媽只會認為小孩都長大飛走了
