Moonstar:
A parent just came in with food. They did not feed the chick. They did not really eat any either. He or she did jump down the side with the food for a few seconds but did not feed the chick. Then the parent flew out with the food and another came back. Looked at the chick down on the side and then settled down on the eggs. Now both adults are in the nest. One flew off ant the one left is sitting on the eggs again. They just seem to leave the chick alone down on the side. I wish someone could do something. Maybe I am over stressing but I am worried about that poor little chick. I have not watched the video yet. I don't know if I want to. This already upsets me enough.

I watched the video and wow, poor baby and poor mom. She seems very confused. I just looked at the cam and mom had food in the box chick was up and looking vigorous, mom took the food below, reconsidered, went back into the box and then took off :o I don't think she knows what to do. I hope that someone can remove the eggs.

This is going to stress out the adult bird and the chick...seems to me that the adult has no idea what to do now. I really hope that someone can get down there to help.
allikat:
Why did I watch that video :o
It almost looked like she was attacking her own chick too...I could be wrong but we can't see what was happening behind/beside the nestbox. I hope that chick is okay and not injured...that was probably I mighty tumble he/she took. :'(
I hope the biologists get in there and remove those eggs and get that chick back into that nestbox.

Oh no it's the parent that pushed the chick out of the box!! She attacked the chick and tried to get her under her ...video here from BCAW site..oh my god, they need to get those eggs out..that mother is nuts!!!

She thinks the chick is a baby and keeps trying to shove it under her, doesn't she realize the chick is half the size of her now and needs air!!
