I love bird feeding

Posts Tagged ‘top’

the nest is empty at this time, and would like to keep it under the deck for the sake of the hardworking mother bird and her future chicks, but under my Jacuzzi i can’t have it, so im thinking of moving it 3 feet away, same height. The new under the deck don’t have same support plank as where the nest is, if i place a box and make wide hole would it work? guess it would have to be weatherproof maybe wooded box? i need to know what to do before she give birth, any suggestion will help!

We are having electrical problems in our home and less than a 3 days ago it was just and old breaker box. Now a bird has made a nest on top of it and the electrician is due tomorrow! We got close to it and the bird doesn’t move and I fear she’s laying eggs or already has. How and where could we move the nest if the breaker box needs replacing (which it probably does)? There are lots of cats in the neighborhood and we don’t have trees in our yard.
It’s impossible to leave the bird’s nest there. Our electrical problem is a major fire hazard and if it’s not in the breaker box, we’ll leave the nest alone, but diagnostics so far say it IS the breaker box so either the nest gets destroyed or we try to move it responsibly.

my breeding cockatiels just laid 3 eggs last week and there was poo all over the top of the nest box. the poo was sticking to the birds feet and they would go sit on the eggs. a friend of mine told me that wasnt healthy for the eggs. so, i cleaned the top of the nest box with water and now they wont go back into it. what should i do?

I have 2 parakeets 1male 1 female. I have a nesting box on outside of cage, they ignore it . there’s a log for the birds the female has been digging in it for about a month now. She has been getting bigger in her bottom . Very possesive over the log when we come near the cage she gets in it. And the male is on top of the log protecting it. But for the last two days I’ve had to clean out the water bowl there’s been lots of big clumps that looks like poop brown w/ white in it. I’m talking marble size. She also been breathing really hard. Do you think she’s about to lay eggs or is something else wrong with her? Please help!!!

I do maintenance at an apartment complex and this has become a project, I tried building boxes uses finish trim pieces and 2 x 4′s, but these mud swallows are so persistent and protected so it has to be humane and like I said most importanly still look good.

latly we have a nest right outside our house in our backyard sitting on top of our power box. I didnt know if there would be any eggs but i went outside and looked inside the nest and saw ONE true turqouise colored egg. i havnt seen the mother around and im thinking she abondoned it. Dont mother birds always have to be on top of their egg? I rarely see her mostly never. you think she would abandon it but why?

I have a White Dove that has made a nest in my planter box out on the patio. She layed eggs and now they’ve hatched and she continues to sit on them. This is the 3rd day. I feed her bird seed and give her water and she lets the daddy come and sit with her from time to time…crazy huh?!
