World's Greatest Chicken Farmer
Today my wife discovered a nest with 3 baby mockingbirds in a bush in our front yard (I saw the parents eyeing me while I was mowing a few days ago). I set up one of my surveillance cameras in the bush and have been enjoying watching the birds all afternoon. The chick appear to only be a day or two old.
Now here's my question: Do the adult mockingbirds nest with the chicks during the night to keep them warm? Currently it is dark and the parents are not around/in the nest. The camera gives off a very, very faint red light at night and I want to make sure that this is not driving off the adults if they are needed to keep the young ones warm at night.
