SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD. FREE THEME
Hey, @nelinoeva. How are you?
Today, I want to talk about the sustainable "moody child and caring parent" system. What am I talking about? Everything is simple. I've been watching the chickadees in my tree outside the window for a few days.
I did not go to the office for 3 days and worked remotely, because this week the air temperature was above +30 degrees. On the first day, I heard the cheerful chirping of a bird, but I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't even know who was making these sounds right away, because they were special, something I hadn't heard before.
On the second day, I was less busy, and when I heard unusual bird sounds outside the window again, I decided to look at the bird, and I saw it. It was a titmouse; she was sitting on a branch, tapping her sides often, often with her wings and screaming. And at that moment, I realized that it wasn't just cheerful singing, but persistent, demanding screams.
A few minutes later, another chickadee flew in, and at that moment, a puzzle formed in my head. The screaming bird was a baby bird, although its size was comparable to the second bird, which, by all signs of behavior, was a mother. She found something on the branches and gave it to her baby bird.
You can't feed such a big baby with one worm. If I'm not confusing anything, then the chicks eat more food than their weight.
The mother bird still has food on its beak.
I checked the information on the Internet. No, I was wrong. It turns out that both parents carry food to the nest, and each chick needs 7-10 grams of food.
But here's more interesting information: chickadees give birth to 2 offspring per year, in April and in June.
Why doesn't the chick take worms from the branches? Mom finds bugs on the branches right next to the baby bird and then puts them in his mouth.
It was at this moment that I remembered a classic case: a child in a store demands to buy himself a toy, falls to the floor, and is hysterical. It's a good thing that nothing like this happened to my children.
By the way, after a while, another chick arrived, and the mother bird carried food to her two children at once.
Watching birds, I find that I know absolutely nothing about birds, which I thought I knew everything about.
