What a video! So cute. Yes, I wonder if the mother would come back to pick up the last one without the intervention of the human. So, i love it. Thanks for sharing this cute video.
It's like a very gentle action movie now, lol. Well done. Thanks again for all your efforts to help these sweet little cheepers get off to a great start.
Wood ducks are prolific egg layers. By the end of the season there are many unhatched eggs in every box. I just throw out the unhatched eggs in the winter when I clean the boxes otherwise the eggs self distruct in the spring heat. Been a wood duck landlord for about 15 years.
I wonder how they survive at night now that they are out of the nest. They can't go back up there. The pool setup was nice. Maybe a wider slide next time. I love the 🦆🦆🦆
@Palm City Florida can you please post an update on the red bellied woodpecker nest? It’s no longer live and the last of the live videos was only 16 seconds long and the remaining egg was gone. Did the male intruder steal that one too? Also, just wondering why anyone would have to be a subscriber for 17 years to be able to chat? I am certain that if you don’t plan on ever having a chat when streaming your live cams you can just remove the chat option all together. By the way, I watched the wood ducks going down the slide video and it was adorable. I also watched the video of the adults waiting for them outside. There seemed to have been more than one families waiting though. How many females laid all the eggs in the nest box? Or did they all come from one female? Looking forward to your reply…
Two days before that last egg was scheduled to hatch a male woodpecker again entered the box while both parents were out and stole it! I initially allowed chat on the live stream but it soon started populating with unrelated political postings & profanity so I found it was easier to shut it off than to constantly censor it. Yes you can remove the chat option, but I've only found 2 ways to remove BOTH the chat & the comments on live streams. 1) In the live stream's settings you can check the "Yes, it's made for kids" box which will stop both, but will also completely stop UA-cam from promoting it. 2) Set the chat to "subscribers only" and add a ridiculous time period. Those wood duck ducklings were the offspring of 3 different females. The only wood duck in the video was the mother that did the incubating, all the other ducks (most of which are Black Bellied Whistling Ducks) are there because I put out cracked corn each morning. I cleaned the duck nest box the day they left and for the past week a few Black Bellied Whistling ducks have been going inside each morning and testing out the new wood shavings. I expect them to start laying eggs soon and intend to live stream that also. Lastly, I have not seen any of the ducklings since they left the box but I'm not concerned since the lake we're on is large enough for them to disappear while they grow up. I'm quite confident that at least a few will survive to adulthood.
What a perfect set up, need higher guard rails, please do a slow motion of the duck slide, in Florida that slide must be hot. Can you lower the opening? Or would that be dangerous for hunting critters like snakes or other baby bird snatchers how are the ones going off the sides?
Amazing video. Thanks for all your work on this. I see why they have so many to end up with only a few making it to adulthood.
