Warning: This video contains dramatic wildlife confrontations that may not be appropriate for all viewers.
This video was captured from one of the PixController, Inc. next box cameras. The nest box had a chickadee nest where 6 chicks had hatched 6 days ago. Between feedings of the chicks a house wren came into the box and removed 4 of the 6 chicks. 2 chicks were left in the nest box but out of the nest cavity. When the chickadee parent returned it sat on the chicks outside of the nest cavity then coaxed them back into the nest cavity. While out of the box getting more food the wren returned hours later and removed the two remaining chicks from the nest box. The female returned later and sat on an empty nest until around 1 AM when she decided to give up the nest box.
