When I was 10 my Dad had a garage built. The carpenter told me my siblings to build Wren houses from the scraps. We must have built 20. We had many Apple trees so we hung them everywhere in those trees. The next spring we must have had 30 families of House Wrens living in our orchard. I'll never ever forget their wonderful long gurgling chirping song. To this day I can identify their song. It really was a beautiful experience. Thank you Mr. Paster for the fantastic memory. ben/ michigan

Definitely makes me remember my grandma and aunt Joan, they were avid birders. Ill be 44 this june and really loving this part of beint an adult❤

Parents did great! I'm so glad all 6 chicks survived. It's truly amazing that even though the last chick was few days younger than the first one, they all left the nest the same day. I have swallows in my garage every year and it's so cool to watch the little ones grow and eventually leave the nest. However, by observing them you also realize how brutal their world is. Last year the chicks left the nest and the weather suddenly got much worse, so they wanted to come back, but the parents didn't allow them. Not to mention the many times I have found the dead chicks on the ground, because they were kicked out of the nest. Life is brutal.

Do the chicks ever return, or are they now on their own? Also, do the parent birds reuse the nest box? If so, is the nest box cleaned out (by the folks who built it, of course), or do they leave the existing twigs there?

@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife 5 ай бұрын

I cleaned the nest box at the end of nesting season. Honestly I have no means of identifying if the next occupant birds are the same family who used it before. There are maybe millions of birds leaving during Fall and will come back in spring. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

@ericdew2021 5 ай бұрын

@@IllinoisBackyardBirdsNWildlife Maybe in your next attempt, get some device to give the birds a spray of some color to help identify the birds. Or, put some paint around the opening so that when the birds enter and exit the opening, the paint will rub off onto their head or back.

If the chicks are very lucky they may live 7 yrs. or longer . Average is 2 to 3 yrs. storms, raptors, cats and flying into windows are cause of a lot of fatalities. If a large percentage didn't die young we would be uo to our ass in wrens or other kinds of birds. Not that I would not love to see more but my bird feed bill is now at about $75 a month in the winter.

I've had Robins on my porch raise 3 broods in the same nest one spring. I left the nest on the beam over winter and it was used again the next year, adding a new layer of grass. Not sure it was the same pair, but assume it was. Robins are territorial and often return to the same spot used previously. Hasn't been used since so I should clean it off so a new one can be built.

@@thoriated That must be a wonderful experience. I wonder if birds this size have been banded to determine if they do come back to the same nest. I know bigger birds like ospreys, eagles etc have been studied that way. I had magpies nest in my 2 trees but I have never seen them with chicks or even come back or new birds come and nest in my 2 trees again.
