Bluebirds 2026

No bluebird nest yet possibly because the sparrows are trying to take over the house.

The bluebirds stuck around all winter and gorged themselves on dried meal worms.

I got to use my sparrow trap today after cleaning out the sparrow nest 4 times.

Two videos. One showing the sparrow trap in action and another and the second is me letting the stressed sparrow out.

The sparrows gave up and the bluebirds made a complete nest in 2 days. Momma must be full. No nest building activity since about 10am so there might be an egg tomorrow morning. In the past years, momma lays an egg between 8am and 10am. One per day. Sometimes 4 sometimes 5.

Still no egg. Im thinking the nights are still too cold. It sometimes gets in the upper 30s. Dad has been sticking his head in frequently, once with a dried mealworm.

Once I installed the sparrow trap and stressed out the invader, there has been no sparrow activity. If you look closely at the video where the trap snaps closed, another sparrow got whacked in the beak. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Tell Dad :bird: to go steal some Goose Down and install some nest insulation. The whack in the beak was a good one.

Sparrow spooker up. Mom and dad watching carefully while I put it up.

Haven’t figured out TinyCam Pro yet. I get aggravated easily and that is when to stop for a while.

Now TinyCam Pro is telling me it won’t work on my firestick even though it does using another camera feed. Before I lose my mind i am going to uninstall TinyCam pro and reinstall it,

Fortunately MrsG can see the nest on her apple devices. She particularly likes when the chicks look like Larry Fine.

Never did get around to cutting the partition. Out of the question now. Glad to see the sparrow spooker is keeping the sparrows out.
