Our little birds have finally had to file a claim on their house. They lost the roof and all of the contents this time. Keith fixed it today and it put back up in the tree but the birds are going to be very upset as their stuffings are gone.
He said that the inside was wet and full of ants and full of bird poop. When he dumped the stuff out he could see the ants carrying the larvae around. Ew.
Now...are they going to come back and rebuild? Will they hate us? Would they have preferred him to leave it the way it was? Not on the ground, but wet and poopy? He said it was only a matter of time before the whole thing fell apart. The wood was all soft, so he used screws to keep it together instead of nails. He even caulked the roof to keept he rain out. Awwww....
Our tennants are sparrows and I really hope they rebuild. They've been there forever...
