Emerald fed and cared for her second clutch of baby hummingbirds until they successfully fledged. Watch the baby hummingbirds hatch, grow and practice flapping their wings to get ready to fly and leave the nest.
The nest is located in Thousand Oaks, California, where this little hummingbird built her nest on a string of Christmas lights. Watch this little miracle of nature unfold before your eyes!

❓When do baby hummingbirds open their eyes?
It usually takes more than a week for a baby’s eyes to open. On average, a newborn’s eyes are open 9 days after he has hatched.
❓What is the nest made from?
The nest is made from grasses and small twigs filled in with soft and fluffy fiber that the mother hummingbird finds on fuzzy plants like seed pods, dandelion down, cottonwood and the like. The nest is held together with spider silk and is soft and spongy to accommodate the rapidly increasing size of the baby birds. To camouflage the nest she put paint chips on the outside to try to blend in with the house.
❓How can I help with the nest building?
You can supply soft material for the mother hummingbird to use in her nest. You can buy nesting material for your hummingbird here: amzn.to/3pJYepN

Do they fledge at all on the ground? I don't want my cats to get them. I have a nest outside my bathroom window
Thank you for the clear narrative and unobtrusive music. Another miracle from Mother Nature.🌱🌞🌱
Oh, Carole! They nest in our hearts too.wow! Thank you for making us conscious of beauty beyond the what meets the eyes.
Emerald is always such a good mama.
I remember i discovered this channel 3 years ago and watching the eggs hatch and also trying to think of the best names to put in the comments to get voted on was the coolest thing. And Emerald is still using the same nest! Awesome

To everyone that helped produce this, thank you for sharing a new perspective with us!👍🥂
I just love the mini practice wingers exercises. So cute and so smart they know exactly what to do! Sure wish the Jays would harvest materials elsewhere, but Im sure that nature has a reason for that. Thank you Carole for sharing this with us ❤️
The difference of 3 days between day 9 and day 12 is huge! It's amazing how quickly they grow :) Glad to see Emerald and her little ones have been doing well.

Wonderful. Too bad the overhead camera was focused on the ground. Lesson learned for next time.

Sorry, but there is no room overhead to put a proper camera. The nest is only inches from the eave above it. The only way we could see inside the nest was by putting up a cheap mini spy camera that you can't focus. But at least we could clearly see the feeder below! It was clearly a "better than nothing" scenario.
Thank you so much for your videos. God's creation is beautiful. We are living in some wicked times and are talked about in the bible. The most important thing to do during these times is to trust Jesus and Pray. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but, have eternal life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
