Fledgling Western Bluebirds vs. Crows?

Posted on June 24, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

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?

Are you a bird lover?

Posted on June 2, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I love to watch the birds in my yard, my favorites are the bluebirds and the orioles. I usually have two suet cakes hanging from a shepards hook for them the feed on. The last couple of days though something has managed to knock the feeders down and eat the entire suet cake, do you think this could be those pesty bluejays or something else. We live on 5 acres with lots of trees around and lots of wildlife. If you think it is the bluejays which are very agreesive then do you have suggestions on how to get rid of them?

I’ve got a bluebird box that bluebirds do attempt to nest in, however, wasps run them out before they lay…

Posted on May 16, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

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.
