I don't know how aggressive blue birds are but house sparrows will trash a nest, kill a sitting female and nest on her head so I don't know. Sad for the little dees. I have a small birdhouse with a thing that keeps the house sparrows out...need to put it up as I just got it... probably too late this year.. For insult...european starlings nested in the wood duck nesting box...<br /><br />Thanks for the info on the monarchs..I have one in a food container with paper towel that can be changed and a fish tank mesh lid on top.

What with the window head butting again...how many times do they lay eggs in the spring? Oh, did you know that the english house sparrows are the bluebirds worst enemies? They will smash the eggs just for the fun of it, not even because they want the nest. That could have been the bird that smashed the egg. They also go in the nests and kill babies. I had a blog friend who took a picture of several babies the house sparrows killed.Ginny Hartzlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11661836.post-38291973347026482672011-07-01T12:57:19.281-04:002011-07-01T12:57:19.281-04:00Excellent photos!

Today 2 were gone and I watched as a yellow jacket took the last one. How do you raise yours inside as I think I will do that if I am lucky enough to find another one,,,Excited to see one for the first time..horrified to watch it die..MichelleRamblingwoodsnoreply@blogger.com
