#nestbox

A timelapse of the Chickadee nest, from building until tonight. She has spent the night in the box from day 2. I am not sure if she has started laying eggs but it is possible since she has stopped bringing moss in and is mostly furnishing with more fuzz. Apart from the raccoon hair I also see some alpaca wool that I put out for the birds. Pet and human hair, dryer lint and yarns are not recommended, they can harm baby birds. (Audubon has a great list of things you can put out as nesting material.)

It must be spring - the Bluetits are investigating the nestbox 😎

Nur die Weibchen bauen das Nest. Es wird sehr viel Moos verwendet, oft auch Baumflechten. Je nach Angebot werden Gräser, Basthalme, Tierhaare (Katzenhaare im Video zu sehen) und Federn benutzt. Only the females build the nest. A lot of moss is used, often also tree lichens. Depending on the supply, grasses, bast stalks, animal hair (cat hair seen in the video) and feathers are used.

Building a nesting box with the crew for the new couple. Can’t wait to hear babies chirping!!! Maybe I’m getting too excited. She hasn’t even laid eggs yet 😅 ・・・ #growninhaiti #woodwork #artsandcrafts #nestbox #teamwork #stopmotion #timelapse #haiti #ayiti #mountainlife #fauna #aviary #hispaniolanparakeets #family #growth https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FNwbBlT65/?igshid=xxofcmvj253d
