This blog introduces the breeding and child-rearing struggle of little grebes that bred in Inokashira Park Tokyo Japan in 2018.
The chicks who had been observing the previous year were wiped out. Let's see the whole story until the chicks grow up well this year! I started writing this blog.
It's almost time for the feathers to become itchy! Practice flapping with all the brothers. July 25, Benten

Little Grebe chicks in Inokashira Park,
Everyone has grown up and is more likely to act separately from their parents.
Even so, it's still awkward to feed, so I sometimes get food from my parents.
As of August 2, the number of chicks is
Gourd bridge family (gourd) 3 birds
Benten Pond Family (Benten) 3 birds
Nanai Bridge Family (Nanai) 2 birds
Around this time, little grebes and chicks in Inokashira Park are often scattered.
The chicks that I thought were dead may appear after a while without showing up for a while.
On August 2, we confirmed the safety of all chicks from the previous observation.
The chicks of Nanai Bridge, who had been bullied by their parents and siblings, are also growing up safely.
I'm glad if I can confirm the safety of all the chicks.
The chicks in Benten Pond are all on good terms.
It seems that the brothers act together more often than other little grebe families.
On July 25th, the brothers are all flapping their wings and competing!
Who is the fastest? (Upper photo)
It seems that the parent birds are not waiting with food wherever they go.
I wonder if the muscles that make the wings flap are itchy.
Anyway, he wants to run and flap his wings using the muscles of his whole body.
But I'm still tired soon.
Training to fly with the whole body, but I get tired quickly. July 25, Benten
Little Grebe, who usually just swims and dives on the surface of the water, can he really fly? I think.
However, when you see it running with its wings flapping, it definitely makes you recognize it as a bird.
The couple at the Aquatic Life House, who have lost all their chicks, have been giving a little bit to the Nanai Bridge family for a while, but it has been a long time since they disappeared.
Did they fly like these chicks and fly somewhere else?
It is encouraging to be with my brothers! Gradually approaching Calgamo, July 25, Benten
It's reassuring to be with my brothers, and I'm very close to Kargamo, who has a much bigger body.
Karugamo-kun, maybe he was overwhelmed by the chicks of the little grebe approaching him, and he left himself.
I don't know what the little grebe children will do, and even scary grebe parents may launch an attack from the water, which may have made me worried over my head.
This spot-Billed chick is probably the seven little chicks I mentioned earlier on my blog.
It has grown to be almost indistinguishable from its parent bird.
Perhaps the parents were excellent, it seems that all seven chicks grew up safely.
Little grebe chicks (young birds), at this time of interest in anything, approach anything and see if it is dangerous.
We will learn various things while experiencing them one by one.
In the water, which cannot be seen from the surface of the water, you may be learning more and more while diving.
The good friendship between the brothers may be related to the good friendship between the father and mother Little Grebe.
The Benten couple are on good terms.
I wonder if my husband and wife will get along well with each other, and my brothers will get along well with each other and learn better.
Can I really fly in the sky?
