Two Critical Weeks for Fledgling House Sparrows
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The two weeks after leaving the nest until they are left by the parents to look after themselves are a very important time for house sparrow fledglings as they have to learn some of the basic skills required to give than a chance of surviving to adulthood and to breed themselves next year.
Few weeks ago I rescued little baby girl sparrow and now she’s my best friend. She’s always around. She stays 10-12 hours outside playing with other birds. Sometimes she stops by to say hello. When gets dark outside, she’s back home to sleep on her favorite yucca plant 🌱 😉 No matter what I have to be back home before 8PM to let her in. She has turned my world upside down, but she’s worth it. She brings so much joy to my life 💕 Every second spend with her is priceless🐣🐥♥️
How long did you take care of the sparrow? My mom rescued one and thats ny fear, the bird only wants me right now, it comes to my hands 😭😭 i cant keep it!

hello, I would like to add a translation to your video to Serbian. But it says it is not open to it. Can you please change the settings? This video is very useful. Thank you.
Hi Maurice, thank you so much for this really informative & very enjoyable video. My daughter & I are so upset, about a month ago most of out garden birds suddenly vanished. I don't live in the countryside anymore but over the years our once silent estate is usually full of chirping all day long, now nothing. We are completely baffled & the only change we have made is that for the last few months while I haven't been very well we didn't buy our seeds, nuts, worms etc from the usual place The Farm & Pet Place but we had to buy them from the Pets At Home store at grossly inflated prices. That's the only change that's occurred that I am aware of. The Wood Pigeons & Collared doves are still visiting & the Starlings are still around but all the sparrows have just vanished as have the blue tits chaffinch. We have been all over our town & they just seem to have vanished, it's very sad. Do you have any idea what might have happened to them? Thank you so much, Su x
Hi, I wouldn't be too worried about most of the birds being missing from your garden at this time of year as this is a time of plenty out in the country for a lot birds and it is quite normal for them to take advantage of this abundance of natural food. The goldfinches, and other, finches will be making the most of the thistle, teasel and ragwort seed that is now ripe. Although the cherries have now finished the first of the rowan or mountain ash berries are now ripening and the blackbirds and bullfinches will be making the most of them. At tis time of year house sparrows will often travel up to 3 miles to form groups in corn fields and some times just come back to roost. Tits will now be forming roving groups of mixed species and may just make fleeting visits to the garden which you can often miss. Finally the robins have been moulting and during this time they become they can become quite timid and retiring but they should soon be making their presence felt as they start to stake a claim to their territories for the winter. A lot of bird watchers and photographers will for a number of weeks now been concentrating on other forms of wildlife suck as butterflies and dragonflies until the birds start to reappear. As I said don't be too concerned as your birds should be back before too long, especially as the weather starts to get worse. It probably has nothing at all to do with the change of food that you have been giving them. Thank for your comments and I am sure you will be enjoying a garden full of birds again before too long. Have a good weekend, Maurice.
+Maurice Baker Thank you so so much for that very helpful & reassuring reply Bill. This is the first time this has ever happened & I was very worried for my little feathered friends, I now have hope that they will return. You're very kind & it's much appreciated x
Very interesting, but can you charge yourself or change your batteries next time you do the voice over. It's hard to understand. It sounds like you are about to fall asleep.
Killed a thousand this year...slow death
I am positive that everything the fledglings begin doing after leaving the nest is natural instinct. I volunteer at a rescue and we take in nestling sparrows along with other birds. They all display the same behaviours even though they have not been in contact with adult birds for most of their lives. I've always found it fascinating how they just know how to do these things instinctively.
My love for the house sparrows was realized one evening as the sun was setting, I heard a chirping just by the window. I saw one adult sparrow chirping at me,as I used to feed birds so I instinctively gave a little thing to eat. When I did,I found out there was one fledgling next to it. I thought to this day,it was late in the evening and the baby was hungry so mommy came and politely asked for help that day.
The LORD GOD Almighty has letting me to some little encounters with some of these feathered friends,bringing joy into my heart.❤
I can't tell u, how great i felt after reading ur cute encounter with the little sparrow. I am from pakistan. we put pots of food and water on our roofs. Lot of birds come to delight us.
What a nice story
Awe xx
What food did you feed them??
Rosie Rawlley not many people understand the depth and how special those moments were..a really beautiful story.
Cuteness overloaded 😍😍
Such a joyful video, thank you for sharing your love and knowledge of these gorgeous little creatures. x
What a lovely film, Maurice. So nicely filmed and edited and narrated. Sad that they are declining nationwide, but hopefully they will at least continue to thrive in your area with you to care for them!

I have hundreds in my long garden hedge, I have fed them for over twenty years so now they must be on many generations. I buy a sack of feed every month and I breed mealworms too... they are lucky sparrows and I love them , they come and gather round me when I bring the mealworms out. I also have one robin. he is nearly five years old I think. he too is beautiful x

Why are they declining?
Fantastic footage of little house sparrows!😀🐦👍 We see this every day in spring and summer if we look around carefully but you have shown us all aspects of these young, tiny lives - thank you!😊💕🐦🐦🐦
Nice clip but speak up Charlie, can barely hear you
Hard to be louder then them :D
I wish he would speak more clearly and louder.... even though it was a nice film, I enjoyed watching it, just hard to understand the script ....really love the film though.

@@Dreamlzs Perhaps there is something wrong with your ears.
A very informative video of the fledgling house sparrows. The video is also superbly filmed -- I thoroughly enjoyed it . Thank you so much for sharing, Maurice.
Thank you for your very generous comments, I am so pleased that you enjoyed watching it.
I have an average of twenty sparrows in my garden every day, all looking after each other like a big family.
There are over 100 sparrows where i feed them in my neighbourhood... is that too many ? i live near a hill

Fascinating work Maurice. The extended close-up look certainly allowed me to better appreciate the subtleties of the sparrows' markings, particularly the adult male's back, which has a much richer set of tones that one can notice "on the fly." All the detailed information on the breeding and rearing is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your comments that are mush appreciated. I know that the town sparrow can sometimes look a bit drab and dishevelled but a male in the breeding season can be quite striking with its grey crown, bright chestnut head and brown back with its black markings.
I'm here coz sparrow has given birth in my house ceiling
This is a masterpiece of video. I love sparrows and I have feed big flocks sinces some years in Scotland, for a few generations. This video is a pleasure and a Bravo for the creator. I hope more and more people could understand the world of this fragile creatures.
I have a nest with 5 eggs in my wreath on front door.We are careful to close it lightly and try not to disturb her when on nest.
Amazing! Some years ago I heard some quick tapping on my door. I opened the door, nothing. From my car later I saw some birds were trying to eat the fake berries on my wreathe!

0:30 Baby birds beg for food from their parents like beggars. They seem so fragile and adorable!
I missed my baby bird 😭
me too 😞 he left two days ago. I wasn't able to say goodbye. It feels like he's taken a bit of my heart with him. Hopefully he's doing fine outside.
Mine passed away today :(
Nice👍😊👍
These are the cutest little birds. They gather in my forsythia bush early mornings and wait for me to put rice, oats, or seeds on my window bird feeder. The group is about 7 or 8.
I've raised and released so many Sparrows over the years. Always thrive on boiled long grained rice as food and when they're ready, they want other foods.
They can be taught from pre-feathered age to poop on command (into a tissue) as the parent Sparrows use a set call to do the same. I usually use the phrase, "Do a poo", followed by praise when they do. One stopped and pooped on my arm whilst climbing around me when I told it, "I hope that you're not going to do a poo", which caused it to promptly stop and poop.
It had taken 2 days to teach the bird to do that.
They can be hard work to raise though and make for loud alarm clocks. Hard to believe that so much noise can come out of something so small at 6 AM every morning.
Can you please tell me how did you prepare food for the baby sparrow with rice ?
P
Great narration. The video quality and editing makes it looks like I was watching a documentary. Nice work.
Aww, I love baby birdies? They are so precious and sweet! I feel at peace listening to them sing!
Thank you Kelly, they are very sweet to watch yet so venerable.
In summer, the pigeons are the first who wake me up, at 5 am 😀, because in the evening I put food outside of the window.... and the first to come, after them: the sparrows 😚😘😊
Me too!
@@MauriceBaker100 came across your video whilst researching where would a fledgling sparrow sleep for the night that cant fly high 😪
During this covid lockdown peering out into the garden noticed our colony of sparrows that I put hay out for as they are always curiously looking down into our tortoises run for somthing, I assumed its the hay!
Yup it was, as they cleared it within a day after I layed some hay on to the floor of my dandelion lawn!
I never weed the lawn so I have more dandelions than grass!
Then this morning i noticed a fledgling that couldn't fly around like the others it spent all day in the garden amongst the over grown pot plants, it was coming out practicing to fly around but wasn't taking off with mum, it was still iseing its wings as arms to balance and climb up the pots,
all day we watched it till dusk parents fed it all day tried to lure it up onto the fence or low roof but it just couldn't fly high still,
I wanted to get him to give him shelter for the night, but googled and rspb says leave them and another site claims they spend 2 weeks on the ground, is this before flying!
We hope he makes it through the night, as he was on the floor around all my messy pots, logs, bricks, and weeds, in long grass,
I Haven't had time to mow and tidy my garden but the sparrows love it,
Didn't know that sparrows eat dandelion leaf,
Also the yellow dandelion flowers petals, I was so surprised,
And they feed the dandelion petals to the fledgling!
Where would he sleep and will its parents find him in the morning if he survive the night 😪

I just found one fallen out of the nest of a very big tree. Fast learning curve for me as I could not leave it for a cat to kill. We now have it sorted. I put some pet mince food through the blender then into a small sauce bottle. And when she wants some she chirps and opens wide. She has a bad leg and needed lots of sleep. But I reason that without sustenance she would perish. She also likes egg yolk and oats. But they need to be soaked till the oats expand, maybe a little added water, and also blended a little. She is too small to to swallow anything over a couple of mm. I am so pleased we have the feeding thing sorted.
Anything else you've been able to feed it?? I've found 2 which refuse to leave the youngest so I've had to take them all inside to keep safe from my cat. I'm not sure what I can give for them to eat
@@Sisi-sx6ub if they were fledglings meaning with feathers, really you should have left them were you see them...
The mother and father would have been back and forth caring for them,
Did you no that fledgling sparrows can stay on the ground for up to two weeks ?
Once they leave the nest they don't actually return again!
The adult sparrows take care if them,
In the evening the parents tuck them up in a safe place till the next morning,
In branches were they stay camoflaged and quite,
They take cover from cats in plant pots during the day till the parent sparrows return with food.
Parent sparrows teach them surviving skills somthing we can never teach them,
I know it's hard to see them and leave them, but it is
infact best for the sparrow baby to have their parents full care,
If the baby has fallen from a nest and are (featherless) "pink" then yes you can try putting them back in their nest, if the nest is to high,
make a nest from a small container, attach it close to the nest area in a safe place and the parents will come feed the baby,
If they don't, then perhaps it's time to step in to help,
Maybe giving them to a bird sanctuary would be best for the baby!
I hope the ones you found survived. 🤞
P.s it is difficult but when you see fledglings keep the cats in just for a few days maximum a week or so,
Till the fledglings are full feathers and stronger...
They will eventually fly off with their parents,
That's the best help you could have given to those babies,
was by keeping the cats in the house. 🙀
And keeping your sanity baby sparrows need feeding every hour all day,
They need mealworms, insects dandelion leaves and seeds.
Their parent provide we go insane looking for them 😂
Every hour.
I'm going through the same thing now I think he got a bad leg but he eats good poops and chirps. Is there any valuable information u could share with me ?
@@Sisi-sx6ubit's a little late but nightcrawlers is what my sparrow is eating
How did the birds go?
Lovely video and I agree they are wonderful birds .I live in Berlin on the 5th floor where each day a group is lined up sunbathing and every now and then checking to see if I have woken up and where is breakfast . No shortage of the tiny birds here as we have many trees , hedges , buildings and lots of food .Also very few cats .On my balcony the hooded crows and sparrows get along fine .side by side .Birds are amazing at caring for the young .Such a lesson to humans ..Beautiful filming Maurice 👍 (ps can I add that I heard your commentary clearly ...)
Why is my sparrow birds suddenly starts getting impatient when she hears this?
Sparrows! They are amazing little creaturres, but have big hearts, and it is save to say that they are smarter than human, which have brains twice of their body sizes, in some measure of how to manage their household affairs. For example, they do not mate until they build nest ( their houses), until they feel that they secure food for their chicks ( offspring) or in the Spring; in the Winter, they sleep in secured shelter in warehouses or they migrate to worm regions. They are my neighbors , they make their nests up under roof of my apartment , I don't charge them for rent payments for I love them.
Thank you Khalif for your comments, I agree with your comments about the intelligence of sparrows as i am sure that some of their actions are instinctive but there is so much that they have to learn if they are to survive to an adult stage. My colony of sparrows that live in the ivy on the back of the house are a constant companion when I am out in the garden and I would miss their constant chattering if they were not there.
Maurice Baker , I greatly appreciate your positive reply. Indeed, how this tiny bird and orther animals behave ( act) for their survival and propagation reason is amazing. They are guided by inborn instinctive behavior, devine guidance. I was just trying to juxtapose the parental care and cooperation of these tiny bird couple whose total body wright equals few ounces with that of eight-hundred bounds of human or with that of eight-ton of elephant pair. One day I was watching a video where an elephan bull whose tusks may weigh thousand bounds hit very tiny calf with tusks to clear his way to mate the calf's nursing mom. And other bull caught another small calf lifted up and threw it mercilessly to few yards. A teenage human mom put her newborn baby in a plastic bag and threw it into dumpester, and another mom left her newborn baby at front door of a church. When I think of the instinctive behavior and activities of these birds , I say wow! They will never extinct. Human , from ancient Greek, philosophers and inventors, admired birds. I think, without them , human wouldn't be able to invent aircraft and aviaton system. Human observed how birds take off , fly, and glide up in the sky and invented airplanes. Human also observed how fish and whales sweam and invented ships and submarines.
Even though physists and geologists said that dinosours were extinct because of huge astaroid of milions tons hit the eath. I think , they did not care of each other , they destroyed themselves , probably ate each other. Surely, the lasting existence of these tiny beautiful birds depends on how we, human, care and heed our /their environmental and ecological protection by reducing or eliminating land, air and water polution from poisonous , harmful , hazardous substences that threaten and endanger our/their health and existence. Recentlly, I have heard that the number of their main diets , insects, is declining because of human heedlessness of protecting our environment. I hope that these birds never be extinct. Thank you for ur video.

One of the most informative vids I’ve seen on UA-cam concerning any specie of wild birds. Job well done, sir.
they are so hyperactive. their perception of time must be completely different.
Lovely video. I haven't seen a sparrow for years unfortunately. I live in London and used to see them in my local park. They would feed from my hand especially during the winter when food was sparse. I've noticed more dunnocks in the park lately and lots of parakeets whose squawking often dominates other bird sounds.
They ate out of your hand? How wonderful!
So sweet birds
Great video, luckily, we have baby sparrows chirping away, almost ready to fledge, will keep a close eye on them, closer eye on the magpies.
Does this include the pliers? Yes, makes sense ya habibi can release the curly shrimp to McDonald's as it will complicate things further
🤫
Can’t really hear what you’re saying
So many sparrow in my home around.nice video
Wowwwww I am just speechless I love sparrow bird...😘😘😘😘
& I have a sparrow bird female now she is my pet I love my sparrow bird "Tompai"😘😘😘....
I wish we could bring all of these birds that are invasive to my country to the places where they're in decline. I understand they have a place in their own ecosystem, but here they bring disease and kill our beautiful native birds and take their nests. The whole thing is sad and out of balance because of careless humans.
Man, when I'll have my own house I'll make some nesting spaces for native birds like sparrows, I really like those little dudes
LazyNoodle, look at bird bath
@@BirdBath1 that's a good idea, thanks
No, if the sparrows were to leave, you would see more desirable birds visiting your garden.

I've got loads in my small garden I keep on giving the my warburtons toastie loaf so they stick around. Sometimes they get jam all over their feathers from my toast lol :)

So far i have understood that sparrows are found only in Asian countries 🙂😄
Thoroughly enjoyed your video about sparrows. I live in town and don't have a yard, but there is a big tree right along side of my house, and I enjoy The Sparrows that hang out there a lot! It was really nice to learn the things that you taught us about The Sparrows thank you so much.
These sparrow fledgings act more calm than the ones in nyc, they usually flap their wings more, they annoy their parents more. Cute creatures tho

@@ZeroMass U meanie.🥺
@@Penn.obsessed tell that to the baby birds they decapitate and then go do the same at the next nest they find. They are invasive and kill local birds.
Same goes for starlings in north America..
It's fledgling season, and unfortunately i stumbled upon a pack of noisy myna birds attacking a little sparrow. They had all their feathers and longer tail feathers, and saved her from the birds. I stored her in my bag and released her in my yard where there are many sparrow. I hope I did the right thing.
"What a fantastic video so well filmed & put together. Thanks." Indeed. I learned a few things that I've always wondered about.
Thank you for your comments. I.m g;lad that you found it informative.
A fledgling sparrow is dependent in being fed. I think it's parent fell thru a drain grill and died as thus baby is just sitting there. I'm throwing out foid but it just sits there sticking it's head in the grate/grill. I'm afraid it will fall in. I can't see if it's parent is at bottom of drain. Will all the other sparrows take over to feed it? I also found a dead sparrow on the grass. I wonder if that's what sparrow is looking for. Shoukd I pick up the dead bird and put it near the drain? So the baby can mourn it's death?
Sad to see their numbers coming down so sharply.
Yes it's very sad but fortunately my colony is still gong strong and they are feeding young ones in their nests right now.
You ok man? You seem sleepy

She has grown so much so quickly.
I am going to introduce seeds soon.
How do i release her when she is flying well.
Will she be able to feed herself.
How do u know she wants in..what does she do? I have a baby who can now fly and I've been scared to let it lose ever since it could fly.

It's a very cute little bird.

wow beautiful
Have you ever seen a sparrow chase a pigeon in order to take a feather for its nest?! Feather withholding tax!
I've never seen them pinching feathers like that, they are very tenacious little birds and I have often seen them pinch mealworms from the mouths of blackbirds who were collecting food for their young.
They were surprisingly aggressive towards pigeons, it was like watching dogfights, why spend time searching for materials when perfectly good feathers are your disposal?! Very bad times to be a pigeon, hawks hunting them to eat them and sparrows chasing them to pluck them.
SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER...
A sparrow was fell in my garden.. I think it can't see,and can't fly since it's too cold outside I kept it in a tub and covered some bare cloth and kept some grains and water to it but I don't know what to do next .. will it be ok in few days ?? What should I do ..
The sparrows in my neighborhood like to perch in the bushes beside my building entrance, and they seem to always respond as people leave and enter the building. I would love to obtain long video footage of schools of them landing, hopping around while feeding then ascending.
Please save us🙏 we are rapidly extincting day by day there is no food water & no house for us...
🐥🕊️🪶.
Even we have equal right in this ecosystem as you* don't kill us... Let us live pls provide some food & water if possible leave a small area for our house 🏡 even we have families pls think about us 🥺 ... Help us 🙏.
Keep ficus trees it's our favorite tree & we make our nests in it.
SPARROW
I also help the house sparrows in my area i lots of seed feeders constantly full i provide them with nesting material and live mealworms which i breed
I feed my sparrows seads and oats that I put on the bird tables... Three years, ago I had just two now at least 20..+. So they must like living in my walled garden and the food... I never put meal worms down but they must collect those else where... What ever iim doing I think iit works as all the fledglings seem to survive... I feed three times a day as they are very greedy... So I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing... It it ain't broke as they say 😂
Thanks for the informative video. I saw a fledgeling sparrow doing the wing vibrations and was trying to work out what was happening
SO YUMMY for snakes
Matthew 10:29-31 KJV

The sparrows are so cute,I have noticed they are declining. Here in London as a kid I saw hundreds they were everywhere now I'm surprised when I see them.
Well, if it helps, these guys are thriving in North America. In fact, I probably have a hand full of nests in my small yard alone, between an old clubhouse and the big old tree in my backyard. It's actually to the point where it's causing problems for our native birds.
@@piranhaplantX Hi really thats good to hear, how are they causing a problem with the other birds. Its interesting to know. Thank you 😊.
Thank you so much, I love the sparrow so much, the sparrow is a big part of my life, I've lost my parents recently, the sparrow is my theropy
Very good informative video and good narration too.
Loads in our roof and neighbours, every other tile there's a nest. Any damage council can sort! Neighbours are private thou 😁
Now every birds going very far and even crows also not coming bcz of this newly networks. Please my honest request for everyone dont do these things and techology should be also limit peoples need to do that.
I live in the US and these are considered invasive. All of my birdhouses are filled with these little guys lol.
I could hardly hear what you had to say with all the chirping if you do another video you need to turn down the chirps, other than that it was good information from what I could hear
ive got the parents and 5 siblings in my garden got half coconuts hung up full of birdfood they are doing great

Thank you so much. Your video helped me save a female fledgling who somehow collided with our patio door window. I managed to revive her and kept her warm for about 2 hours. Eventually she managed to hop around a little & suddenly she managed to chirp. At this I made sure she found a safe niche in the garden but kept a watchful eye. Sure enough she came hopping along the patio to be met by her mother who fed her. She then disappeared underneath large sage bush. I kept hoping she had found a refuge and was safe from the likes of magpies and a resident sparrowhawk, not to mention ground bound predators. I thought I saw her mother going into the bush yesterday and caught a glimpse of what I thought was the little one. That was confirmed today when I heard cheeping from the bush and mother arrived. Made my day as I am counting down to when she can fly.
Mike H, look at bird bath
Can barely hear the guy but the bird noises are off the charts. Gotta fix your audio bud.
Just like us although a lot of my generation stays fledgling until their 30s
Customs and habits change with time 👨🎓👨🎓👨🎓
Hah Mi yep, economics too especially in times like now.
i found a fleging but its parent waa nowhere to be seen. i have put it in a box with water dish and somw meal worm. a cat frequents the area so had to ensure its safe. any advice on how to care for it? cheers
It would actually be a better video if the birds and the guy was not talking at the same time
This is certainly what i have . I bought Ball seeds a hanging basket where babies stood in to feed . Noticed the older ones peck at them no where to put water there is a stream nearby.
Great video!
The problem is that they are not protected and some people consider them a pets, so sadly they kill them.
I found a fledgling with an injured foot, what should I do?
chris leonard IK its kinda late but how's it doing now???
Go to vet doctor
Great vid . Thank you for it
Thank you John for your kind comments
