Bird Photography and Saving a Baby Crow

Video Description

This time I am adoption a baby crow that has fallen out from its nest. I am also doing bird photography with my good friend Bertram. While totally comfortable photographing the woodpecker in the woodlands, I have no idea how to be a crow dad... I have the feeling that this is going to be a fun and interesting journey, and I am looking very much forward to sharing it with you in my upcoming videos. Enjoy watching and See you out there... All the best Morten A FEW QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Q: Can the crow chick not just get back to the nest? A: No, because it is still too young to fly and a crow's nest is usually very high up in the tree. Q: Why has the crow parents abandoned the chick? A: If the location was more remote and without a lot of people, the parents will usually feed the small crow on the ground. Because they are very shy birds, they will not do this with people around. Q: Will the parents feed the crow chick at night? A: No, because they do not eat at night. Most likely because their eyesight is limited and because the predators are mostly hunting at night. Q: Is it legal in Denmark to take a wild bird and put it in a cage? A: No it is not legal, and that is why the cage is not locked. The crow is free to fly whenever it wants. Q: When you came back after doing bird photography - how was the baby crow? A: When we came home, he jumped around in the tent. He did not want to eat though, and this was the first time I observed, that he will not eat after darkness. He slept in the tent that night, and in the early morning, he was very hungry again. Q: Do you still have Bertram the Crow? A: Yes I do. He is sitting at the terrace outside the window as I am writing this, and I will tell you a lot more about him in the near future. --- 🔗 SOCIAL MEDIA & WEBSITE • Website & Shop: https://mortenhilmer.com/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mortenhilmer/ • My 24/7 Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/@nature-live 📸 EQUIPMENT An overview of the equipment used in my latest YouTube video can be found on below link.
