Spurwing Plovers at their Nest

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Nesting on the ground is a risky business. A newly-hatched chick, one hour old, staggers after its absent mother who is on patrol and calls when danger threatens.

    Our 2 rescued plovers are now over 2 months old and will be released in the new year. Got one as an abandoned egg that was hatching and the other was rescued off the middle of a busy road as the parents didn't want to abandon 2 others that had been hit by cars.They are such cute chicks and develop at an astonishing rate. Really hoping the 2 we have are a pair.

    Hi, we live in on a dairy farm and recently rescued 2 eggs, as the others were trampled by cows. The parents showed no interest and probably abandoned them due to the herd of milkers. The chicks looked almost fully developed, how do you know if the egg still carries viable chicks? I am happy to raise them, but if they are already potentially dead than I don't want them to rot in my house.

    Delightful. They must be losing a lot of nesting ground, with more developments springing up. Hopefully their numbers are safe outside of the cities.

    anyone know what the chiks eat ?? they die here alot i want to know what they eat to bring them to my house and care of them .....They make a nest over the houses When the eggs hatch the little chicks fall from the roof of the houses, either they die or the cats eat them. I tried to help by making a wall around the nest, but somehow they escaped from it.

    They eat worms. It’s their favourite thing to eat. I’ve seen baby plovers get huge worms and just gobble them up. I work in civil construction and when we do any digging they come to get the worms. They have learned our hi viz clothing means they will get more worms and so they are never aggressive to us. I’m pretty sure they recognise faces too as when there are strangers about they go into protective mode.
