Bluetits again
Well the box was quiet for days but activity started again yesterday. Loads
more nest building material going in.
A few questions to the experts please.
Could they have started to lay eggs yet and the moss etc going in, being
used to keep the eggs warm?
A bird came to the hole yesterday, looked in, didn't go in, BUT, there was
the quivering wing action of a young bird. Could this be a fledgling from
another nest? Already?
And what is the Bluetits, 'safety zone'? The nestbox is 12 feet away from me
with the doors open, my wife has been backwards and forwards to within 6
feet of it whilst gardening, and the birds have taken no notice at all!! How
'near' would be danger?
Now one for you to laugh at. I have the radio on all the time, Classifm so
there is a lot of music + the stupid adverts. Farmers have put music in
milking parlours. Is music a 'soothing' influence to birds as well?
