  • why are the baby birds on the ground and the cardinals dont nest there

  • @ectwc1122 They had fallen out of their nest. Not sure how, but we live by the woods and lake and there are a lot of hawks around, so that's a possibility. Also not ruling out the mean family of blue jays that live nearby. They're a bunch of bullies and I wouldn't have put it past them to sabotage the cardinals' nest in a turf war.

  • That's a male. Herpderp.

  • it looks like the mother bird feed the bird on the left more then the right :(

  • Did the one on the right survive?

  • @ryandasan

    The more likely culprits are sparrows or starlings - they attack native bird nests for no apparent reason other than to destroy them. I use an air rifle and shoot the crap out of sparrows whenever I see them at the bird feeder in my yard - they routinely chase the cardinals away if I don't keep them in check.

  • No, birds do not "boot" their babies from the nest to make room for more. That is a myth. They always wait until the babies are old enough to leave on their own. These babies were either taken from the nest by a person or tossed out by a predator. To toss their babies onto the ground would be to ensure they are killed, and that would not be good for the continuation of the species.

  • stupid question : So if this is the father..where is the mom ? :)

  • lo @0:01 Nice camouflage :)

  • The red cardinals are the males

  • @ryandasan it's true blue jays are aggressive. Pretty cardinals though.

  • its all cute and stuff.... then you realize its throwing up into the baby's mouths....
