Nest Box Observation 2024 ep.17, Nest Box 1, #JapaneseTit, May 1721, 2024, 610 days after hatching.

The remaining seven eggs still haven't hatched. It looks challenging for the mom to keep the growing chick and the eggs warm at the same time... But the moments when the chick and mom snuggle together are so adorable...

★Feeding Count for the Chick:
I manually count the number of times food is brought to the nest box in the video.
Example: If Dad brings food and gives it to Mom, it's counted for Dad.
If Dad brings food and Mom eats it, it's not counted.
The numbers in the brackets indicate the count for the day/cumulative count.

★Note:
I apologize for the delay in uploading due to my busy schedule.
The next episode will feature the 4th nest box with Daurian Redstarts.
Unfortunately, the breeding of Varied Tits in the 2nd nest box failed due to predation, so the video will not be released. I apologize for any inconvenience.
