I have western bluebirds that have left their nest box. The parent birds are still very protective of the nest box whenever I get close to it even though it’s empty. I’m assuming that the fledglings must still be close by. There are quite a few large black crows hanging around my yard. Do they eat baby birds?

What can I do to keep the wasps from nesting in the box as well? This has happened three years in a row now, and I feel for the bluebirds. Invariably, I find the wasp nest after I notice no more activity by the birds, and even though I remove the wasps, the birds do not come back.

Short video showing the setup of the rear yard nest box. The hole reducer (1 1/4 inch) was put on after the nest was started. The light tan color makes the interior of the box cooler in hot weather. Top of the box is 6 feet off the ground and the green plastic baffle is from Lowes garden dept. Pole is metal and greased to discourage predators. To feed mealworms I highly recommend the cage type as seen to the left of the nest box. The 1 1/2 inch mesh allows bluebirds, chickadees, titmice and smaller birds only to enter. I feed the bigger birds in my other feeders. Location: Myrtle Beach, SC
