Discover the secrets of what happens inside a nest box during the first twenty-four hours when the eggs hatch. Parents work tirelessly to find food for their newborns, and they grow at a remarkable rate.
Eurasian Blue Tits (Cyanistes Caeruleus) can lay up to sixteen eggs during a single breeding cycle. The first twenty-four hours is critical for newborns as they must overcome the struggles of breaking free from their eggshells. They face many challenges, such as competition for food from their siblings and avoiding predation. Their parents must find plenty of food for them, as each can consume up to 100 caterpillars daily. They stand a good chance of fledging if they can make it past this initial period.
