As long as those chirping sounds are not from starlings or euro trash house sparrows I would observe. There are worse cavity house in nature so I would wait the few days until fledged. If the sparrows are bald I would freeze the invaders. It is a painless death & the scourge of our American blue birds are these invasive species. Murderous & prolific. Just my input. Not an order., =0}
Euro-trash......
Aren't we then, by your definition, euro trash?
@bigpawbullets That is possible as we replaced the native species. However, America's eastern blue birds are in competition from invasive cavity nesters, ie euro house sparrows & starlings ( which we are permitted to capture & destroy per the feds) I can only intervene so much in thwarting invasive species of which we euros are of that ilk. But I am helpless to remove euro invaders of the human type which currently are the dominant, victorious creed. I can impact these invasive & brutal euro birds. The history of the introduction is an ode to human stupidity. Just as rabbits in Australia.
Hopefully the occupants will get through the season safely, and when they move on you can figure out the problems, fix it, and have a snug home for the next occupants. The joys of being the landlord.
Yeah. The "Landlord" activities weren't factored into this birdhouses endeavor.
Posted by FernappleNature is the best gardener still. All nature asks is a little space, that's all. Maybe no more than a slightly leaky fall pipe, and a bit of neglected wall, and you have a perfect tiny garden.
Posted by JolantaNematodes are helpful too.
