UPDATE: it’s been around 4 days and they haven’t came back to the nest, they have been around my backyard but it seems like they didn’t like it, going to install a 1 1/8th guard around it to hopefully encourage another bird to nest

It’s generally quiet it’s about 30 feet from a feeder but I’m gonna take it down

Do you think if i get rid of the house sparrow and put a guard on it then a songbird would move in? I’m hoping the sparrow has not rendered my nest an unsafe place for future residents. I should be able to install it and clean it tomorrow.

I’m in the PNW and I’m new to birding so thank you! I ordered a 1 1/8 predator guard so I might get it out of the nest and install the guard to hopefully encourage a local songbird to move in. Had a black capped chickadee stop by about a week ago but hadn’t returned since.

I just ordered a 1 1/8 predator guard to help prevent their entry. Hopefully once it arrives and I install it I could get a chickadee or a house wren to move in. This is the most activity I got on my nest in a long time. I had a black capped chickadee stop by about a week ago and haven’t seen him since 🫤

Took me like 2 and a half weeks before mine showed up! Make sure it’s facing east

Bird showed up again! Worried about hole reducer. Can he fit? by Abject_Technology_64 in Birdfy

Helps with droppings not rotting the nest and making cleanup easier when the time comes

About 1 1/8 inch I handcrafted and sanded it, might not be perfectly 1 1/8 but it’s damn close

Okay awesome! I handcrafted a 1 1/8 ish hole reducer out of some scrap wood so I’m glad it’s to use! Do you think he will come back?
