【巣箱観察2024】こんなこともあるんか...シジュウカラのお母さん、雛１羽を残して行方不明になる・・（ep.21 2024-05-25~27）

Nest Box Observation 2024 EP.21 - May 25-27, 2024 This video shows the Japanese Tit family in Nest Box 1 from the 45th to 47th day of observation (May 25-27), which is also the 14th to 16th day after hatching. While the mother's behavior of putting nesting material into the chick's mouth was a bit unusual and concerning, the chick-rearing process had been going smoothly up until now. However, suddenly, the mother has gone missing!! It's unclear what happened, and the trail cameras didn't provide any useful clues. It's possible that she got caught up in a territorial dispute and died. What will become of the father and the lone chick? Although I think the chick is old enough now to survive, I truly hope they can make it through together. Table of Contents: 0:00 14 days after hatching, May 25th 7:49 15 days after hatching, May 26th 18:51 16 days after hatching, May 27th Feeding Frequency to the Chick: The counts represent the number of times food was brought to the nest box, based on visual observations from the video. Example: If the father brings food and gives it to the mother, it's counted for the father. If the father brings food but the mother eats it, it's not counted. The numbers represent the feeding frequency for that day/cumulative frequency After hatching 1st day (May 12) Father: 0/0 Mother: 0/0 Total: 0/0 After hatching 2nd day (May 13) Father: 51/51 Mother: 7/7 Total: 58/58 After hatching 3rd day (May 14) Father: 32/83 Mother: 14/21 Total: 46/104 After hatching 4th day (May 15) Father: 15/98 Mother: 17/38 Total: 32/136 After hatching 5th day (May 16) Father: 12/110 Mother: 15/53 Total: 27/163 After hatching 6th day (May 17) Father: 48/158 Mother: 11/64 Total: 59/222 After hatching 7th day (May 18) Father: 43/201 Mother: 11/75 Total: 54/276 After hatching 8th day (May 19) Father: 36/237 Mother: 17/92 Total: 53/329 After hatching 9th day (May 20) Father: 38/275 Mother: 15/107 Total: 53/382 After hatching 10th day (May 21) Father: 37/312 Mother: 48/155 Total: 85/467 After hatching 11th day (May 22) Father: 43/355 Mother: 35/190 Total: 78/545 After hatching 12th day (May 23) Father: 42/397 Mother: 48/238 Total: 90/635 After hatching 13th day (May 24) Father: 25/422 Mother: 42/280 Total: 67/702 After hatching 14th day (May 25) Father: 15/437 Mother: 56/336 Total: 71/773 After hatching 15th day (May 26) Father: 38/475 Mother: 35/371 Total: 73/846 After hatching 16th day (May 27) Father: 80/555 Mother: 0/371 Total: 80/926 The feeding frequency is quite high for a single chick... I apologize for the delay in uploading due to time constraints... The next video will feature the 4th nest box with the Dippers. Unfortunately, the breeding of the Coal Tits in the 2nd nest box failed due to predation, so the video will be canceled. I apologize for any inconvenience.
