But the tension has taken a more serious turn as Rosie may have interfered with the chicks being fed, leading to the removal of the hatchlings for their own safety. The host of the cam has detailed these events:. Please know that much consideration was given before the decision was made by a Certified Hummingbird Rehabilitation specialist.
Terry the rehabber indicated that baby hummingbirds typically get fed times a day. These babies were lucky to get fed 4 times a day. The entire nest was placed in a shoebox layered with tissue and paper towels. The babies are being fed every 30 minutes until about midnight to make sure they are strong enough to make it.
Some of you are probably worried about Bella coming back to find her babies gone. She will likely come a few times and then move on to her next nest; she just might be relieved as she no longer has to place herself in danger to care for her babies.
Thanks explore, this was quite an experience to behold. Hope it turns out well for the chicklets. I have sure learned a lot from this particular cam. Rosie on Bella's Nest.
