Скачать или смотреть bbd's nest #44 - 15 days old, babes still sleeping a lot but starting to groom themselves :D

hi hummer lovers! we're only going to livestream for an hour morning and evening going forward turns out youtube does not like livestreams that are not active, we're still learning the socials rules. but we want to make sure to capture these beautiful little creatures. we know we're a gardening channel mainly but these little beauties are part of gardening wild life.

DAILY UPDATES BELOW:

bbd is an allen hummingbird nesting near lake matthews where we get high winds many days during the week so you will see her rockin & rollin in her delicate & beautifully made nest.
she has weathered cat stalkings, high winds and rain.

she didn’t choose the ideal tree to nest in as it’s in close proximity to my husband shop so lots of human activity, but she is strong & perseveres!

1st egg - 4/24 - hatched 5/11
2nd egg - 4/27 - hatched 5/12

BBD was so excited, she was bursting with energy, a very proud mama!

follow along for ur dose of daily blessings♥️

it’s gonna be fun to watch these little ones grow

like, share & subscribe to get the word out about this beautiful little creature. thank you!

all has been well with the babes and mama bbd. the ants are in check for now. we had to remove a few large avocados that were hanging over there nest just in case. we had one drop on the ground the other day which brought attention to the potential disaster to their nest.

the babes had their first night without mama in the nest. she was near by though u could hear her flying at sundown, she probably slept on a branch very near. also one of the babes had their eyes slightly open :D the darn ants are a nuisance! i'm sure they will start pecking at them soon.

thank you to our friend Anne for bringing to our attention that this little beautiful mama is actually a Allen hummingbird not an Anna. we appreciate you!!! we may be good at growing food but we're just learning about these incredible beautiful creatures :)

mama bbd is an excellent mama! we tried a new device for the livestream yesterday which worked well for day time but not night vision. we will go back to the device for night streaming that worked ok the night before. we plan on getting a security camera that has very high quality imaging for day and night soon.

Thank you for your patience!

🐣we’re getting really close to pip!🤗

and we think we worked out the IR night vision issue, we’ll give it a try again tonight.

also tomorrow is the last hot day then we can go back to livestream all day.

we have our eye on a new camera that will fix all of these issues but its a pretty penny so we’re gonna wait.

thanks for watching & your support!♥️

due to the heat wave we will be live streaming mornings and evenings only as our device was experiencing loop glitches due to over heating.

5/8/25 UPDATE:
we figured out the streaming issue, our device was overheating due to the heat wave. we will stop streaming mid day and restart again when temps cool down :) new to live streaming, figuring it all out live :D

5/5/25 4:50 pm UPDATE:
bbd returned to the nest early in the morning thankfully! she has been on the nest all day but i was traveling and was not able to get the live cam up. we're hoping her eggs are still ok from being off of them for several hours last night due to the cat that spotted her.

we have chicken wire under the tree to deter the cat from stalking near the nest.

NOTE- THE LIVE STREAM WILL BE DARK AT NIGHT. WE WILL NOT HAVE A NIGHT LIGHT ON UNTIL AN INFARED LIGHT IS AVAILABLE, WE FEEL THE LIGHT LAST NIGHT PUT HER IN DANGER.

5/5/25 2:30 am: bbd has been away from the nest for a couple hours. a cat was spotted in the film. if she returns we will continue live stream.
