How does a bird care for her chicks?
What does a bird eat?
How do birds feed their chicks?
And, where does the poop go?
Some questions we knew because we’re homeschooled but some we didn’t until I started videoing the bird’s nest. I knew what the poop sack was but never thought about them pooping. It made my mom gag. The nest is on a shelf that Mamal pushed up against the window. I saw the nest and knew we could watch the babies grow but the mom would fly away. I put my camera on some stuff and checked it to see if she had came back. If you want to see my other videos I can put them up too. Thank you. I’m Tyler Rowland

Love this! My daughter is really into birds right now especially since they’re really starting to sing. I may just have to use some of this in our Spring learning theme.
🙂 Thanks Kara! I’ll tell Tyler. He’ll love hearing another kiddo will get a benefit from it. 🙂 We’re enjoying your eco series ourselves. ~Honey
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
Great job making this video Tyler! Thank you for sharing. I had the pleasure of watching baby birds grow that were in my barn. It’s actually a small log structure. Mama bird had too many babies for her to feed. 2 got pushed out of the nest. 2 were doing fine, but not the 5th one.We used a flour sifter to get mosquito larvae from a water hole. Then we crushed them in a small bowl and fed the babies with a baby spoon. It took awhile for me to learn how to get it in only the mouth, and not up the nose. Hehe. The poor hungry little guy grew up big and strong. We would knock on the wall of the barn to let mama bird know we were coming, because when we startled her, she flew out the door and almost flew right into our heads! The funny part was, we accidentally trained those wild baby birds that the knock meant food was coming. They started crying at us just like the baby birds did to mama bird in your video! Did you know baby bird heads and beaks are soft and squishy? I thought you might like that story. Keep up the good work with your scientific observation!
Very good…
Thank you so much, this is wonderful.
This is great! What a great video. you can see everything so well!
Great job, Tyler! You look just like your mommy!
I really enjoyed your video, Tyler! I loved the way the baby birds opened their mouths and reached up for the food. I featured the Parts of a Bird printable as the Free Printable of the Day at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow (and on Pinterest).
Thank you Miss Now!

Good job Tyler! Enjoyed the video!
Thank you very much. I hope you didn’t gag when you saw the momma eat the poop sack.
Tyler
My kids will love this 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much. I’m happy to show the video. What was your favorite part? My favorite part was when the babies lift up their heads and the momma puts in the food.
