Mother Bird that Fakes a Broken Wing to save her Babies | Egg to First Flight — Full grow Cycle

American Woodcock full life cycle from egg to first flight in 55 days. She does it all alone. No partner. No help. Just one female American Woodcock and the forest. Watch the complete transformation of the American Woodcock from the moment the first egg is laid to the incredible first flight of her chicks. This is the most detailed American Woodcock documentary ever filmed. Every stage of the American Woodcock life cycle captured in stunning natural detail. Inside a quiet eastern forest, a female American Woodcock builds her nest from nothing but dead leaves and her own body. She incubates four eggs for 21 days. She protects her chicks from foxes, raccoons, snakes and domestic cats. She feeds them. She teaches them. And then she watches them fly away. Alone. Always alone. The American Woodcock is one of North America's most fascinating birds. With eyes that see 360 degrees, a brain that is literally upside down, and a bill packed with nerve endings that feel earthworms moving underground — this bird is unlike anything you have ever seen. From egg to first flight. The full life cycle of the American Woodcock. 55 days. One mother. Four chicks. This is nature at its most raw and most beautiful. 🕐 CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction - American Woodcock habitat 01:00 The nest - how she builds it alone 05:00 The eggs - 21 days of incubation 12:00 Hatching day 14:00 First week - feeding the chicks 17:00 First flight #AmericanWoodcock #WildlifeDocumentary #BirdLifeCycle
