This little fellow crashed into one of the school windows back in 2008. It is a male Gold Crest, Ireland’s smallest bird. You can tell it is a male from the orange (gold) feathers at the back of his crest. You will have to watch the video closely to catch a glimpse.
After his video debut he was placed in a shoe box in a warm dark room to relax and recover from his accident. The club members fed him flies for the rest of the school day.
He made a full recovery and was released back into the school tree line that evening. He immediately flew up into a tree and began to sing to let everyone know he was still around!
Here is a similar story from YouTube. (You may not be able to watch this video on the Irish School Broadband Service depending on your schools filter settings.)
THIS POST IS A VIDEO UPLOAD TEST
Amazing, that bird flew right into the window. That bird is amazing
The top video is really slow on the school network but the bottom one is much faster!
it’s great the way you can hold it and make it stand in your hand without making him scared.
hello
The tiny bird is so cute!
The bird is so cute.

The bird is sooo cute! Its the size of my finger! What’s its name?
I’d like to know what his name is too!! bekfast
The bird is so cute!!! Also the top video looks like it was made in 2000 BC. So a while ago. Also in the top video did you notice the computers in the backround? I think they were from 2000 BC. Now I have to figure out how they got the computers and brought them to 2008? I guess we will never know.
The bird is so cute and did you know that the Gold Crest bird is the smallest bird in Ireland!!!!!!<:
I don’t know why people say the wren is the smallest bird in Ireland.
PIGS RULE!!!
bekfast!
Birds Rule Too:)
Thank God the school in the top video didnt have a cat or…Yeah.
The Gold Crest is a beautiful bird. I can’t believe the poor bird crashed into a window. I’m glad he nourished back to health though!
Thank you for all your comments. What did we learn from this video test besides the fact that the Gold Creat is a cute little bird?
The first video is an MPEG4 video stored o the edublogs server. It was slow to load and buffered every few seconds.
The second video was streamed from YouTube. It was faster, no buffering and high resolution.
So . . . I have set up our own dojo YouTube video channel.
Yay!!! Thanks Joe Molloy!!!
The Youtube one is sooooooo much better than the MPEG4? video. I can’t wait to see the youtube channel!!!
Looking forward to the youtube channel Joe Molloy. See you soon!
