Red Whiskered Bulbul Builds a Nest in Our Terrace Garden Two Eggs, Two Babies & a Beautiful Wildlife

A Heart-Touching Story from Besty Farm — A Red-Whiskered Bulbul Family is Born…

In the middle of a bustling city filled with concrete walls, noisy traffic, and high-rise buildings, a small miracle unfolded at Besty Farm’s terrace garden. This video documents one of the most beautiful moments we have ever witnessed — the complete journey of a Red-Whiskered Bulbul building a nest, laying two precious eggs, nurturing them with love, and watching two tiny chicks grow into confident little birds capable of taking their first flight.

What you will see in this video is not just wildlife footage.
It is a story of hope, a story of trust, and a story that reminds us that nature still survives when we give her just a little space.

Let us take you through this journey…

🌿 Chapter 1: The First Visit — A Gentle Guest in the Garden

It all started when a Red-Whiskered Bulbul began visiting our Besty Farm terrace garden every morning. At first, she simply hopped from plant to plant, observing everything quietly. She was curious, alert, and seemed to be searching for something important.

Little did we know, she was looking for a home.

As the days passed, she kept returning. She inspected our hibiscus plants, pecked gently at the leaves of our curry leaf tree, examined the microgreens section, and even sat for several minutes on our organic vegetable beds. Her bright red cheek patch glowed under the morning sunlight, and her crest stood proudly like a little crown.

And then — one fine day — she made a decision.

🌿 Chapter 2: The Nest Building Begins

With incredible speed and purpose, she began collecting:

tender dry grass

coconut fiber

tiny roots

soft leaves

thin twigs

even small pieces of dried coir from our pot bases

She worked from sunrise to sunset, weaving each piece like a master artist. It was breathtaking to watch her:

fly out to collect nesting material

return to the same branch

place each piece with surgical precision

shape the nest using her chest

smooth the inner surface with her beak

strengthen the outer walls for protection

Within just a few days, a perfectly round, cup-shaped nest emerged — strong, soft, and safe.
This was to be the birthplace of a new generation.

🌿 Chapter 3: Two Tiny Eggs — New Life Begins

One peaceful morning, we noticed something magical inside the nest:

Two tiny eggs. Perfect. White. Beautiful. Fragile.

The mother bulbul guarded them with extreme care.
The father bulbul visited frequently, sang softly on the terrace railing, and remained close by.
We watched them, respectfully maintaining distance, making sure they felt safe.

For days, the mother sat on the eggs, warming them, occasionally adjusting them with her beak. During feeding breaks, the father took over. Their teamwork was inspiring — a reminder of the beauty of natural parenting.

🌿 Chapter 4: The Eggs Hatch — Two Baby Bulbuls Are Born

Then the miracle happened.

The eggs cracked gently, and out came two tiny, featherless babies — pink, delicate, and blind. Their bodies trembled, their beaks opened wide, and their first cries were soft and weak.

From that moment, the parents worked tirelessly:

catching insects

finding fruits

bringing tender worms

feeding them every few minutes

protecting them from crows, kites, and heat

It was unbelievable to witness the entire process — the transformation from helpless newborns to curious feathered chicks.

🌿 Chapter 5: Growing Up — Learning to See, Move & Chirp

Day by day, their bodies changed:

Little feathers appeared

Eyes slowly opened

Their necks gained strength

Their voices became louder

The mother’s patience was endless.
The father’s dedication was inspiring.

Every morning, the terrace garden came alive with chirps, songs, and fluttering wings. Their presence made Besty Farm feel like a true home for nature.

🌿 Chapter 6: First Flight — A Moment We Will Never Forget

After weeks of nurturing, the big day arrived.
The two little bulbuls stood near the edge of the nest, flapping their wings, gathering courage.

And then — in one incredible moment — they took their first flight.

They flew around the garden, explored nearby plants, and slowly discovered the world on their own. The parents guided them patiently, calling out and encouraging them.

Finally, after a few days of practice, the bulbul family left the nest as a beautiful, complete family — confident, strong, and full of life.

🌿 Chapter 7: What This Means for Our Cities

This video is not just a story of a bird family.
It is a message — a wake-up call.

Today, in cities like ours:

trees are being cut

metro lines expand

concrete replaces green spaces

birds lose their homes

wildlife struggles to survive

But your small balcony, your terrace, your little urban garden can save a life.

All it takes is:

a few plants

some nesting-friendly shrubs

avoiding the use of chemicals

providing clean water

letting nature breathe
