Baby birds?
I have three baby blue birds the nesting box bleu over. I put them back for 1 1/2 hours. The mother did not come back. So I am taking care of them know. I have been feeding them bloodworms I do not know if that is good. I need a recipe for them. I also do not know what to build a nest out of. If you could help me that would be grate.
Thanks Mackenzie

How can I keep field mice from nesting in my blue bire boxes?
I have six blue bird boxes at my home in Connecticut. Each winter the boxes are taken over by a families of field mice that I clean out each spring. When I clean them they are pretty disgusting and smell like urine. Since the mice have started adopting the bird houses for their winter homes, I have had very few blue birds or other birds choosing to use the boxes. Does the use by the mice keep the birds away? Any suggestion on how to keep the mice out? Should I prop the boxes open for the winter so they are less attractive to the mice? Thanks

Blue Birds live @ my door & 1′s missing?
A pair mf Blue birds live in this bird house @ my back door & yesterday the female went missing. Today my wife found 3 blue feathers in the garden, we think the cat did it. The male is still feeding the babys & they sound happy. Now for my question, will they live & learn to fly with out their mother?
