Inky is definitely persistent, not gonna let a little wood chip defeat her. 😊

You’re so right Inky’s determination is really so inspiring! And that is so fascinating how chickadees need the wood chips to remove because of their natural instincts. I feel instantly happy watching these precious little creatures thank you:)

Lesley:

Mae, the female Chestnut Backed Chickadee that used the nest box this year on my deck, I also saw her struggling to get large but curled Cedar chips out of the nest box. I witnessed this back on March 26th from my recliner next to my patio door. A friend of mine had cut these chips with a hand plane last fall so I could put some fresh chips in the nest box. But I should have broken them up a little before I put them in there. I ended up when Mae was gone, reaching into to the nest box hole with a flexible grabber tool and taking a bunch of the chips out and breaking them up myself then put them back in.

This year's batch of Chestnut chicklets were all fledged by 7:15 on June 15th. I got to witness probably the last chicklet leave the nest. The day before I had photographed and videoed them looking out of the nest box. It seems from the last two years at least, once they start looking out, it does not take much longer for them to leave.

Lesley I need to get some advice from you. Please look for my emails.

The little chickadee that could!! Way to go, Inky! 🌳👏👏👏

[sylphofthewildwoods]

Yes, they are really determined about how they want their nests. I have seen their nests and they are the cutest little nests with moss and fur and feathers in the shape of a little cup.

I've never seen Dee Dee's with those markings before.

Thank you, for taking such good care of our feathered friends. 😍🤗

[verone]

She is so precious 😂 I bet you’re going to sort the woodchips next time ahahah 😅

My chickadee house fledged 4 nestlings this year and I could still hear the juveniles chirping from the trees as they followed mom or dad for the next few weeks. I line my bird houses with cedar shavings and this habit of theirs is new to me. Inky is cute, thanks for posting!

[samblack]

I love that your videos give us so much insight into the lives and PERSONALITIES of individual birds. All sentient little beings. Thank you for your videos 🙂🖤

[neolithic]

What an amazing little bird Inky is! Thanks for sharing this video.

[locksbog]

I’m thinking there’s a lot of people on this planet that can take some notes from inky and learn something here 👍😃✌️
