So:
Question for the gardners/naturalists here:
Is this typical sparrow behavior? After one hatch.... clear out the house? Redecorate??
They're still sparrows acting as a nest building couple occupying that birdhouse.....

They can have 4 clutches annually & will murder other birds to take over the house. I have not seen then remove & rebuild a house. House wrens will do that. This looks like a wren house.

What I've learned is that they might have detected infestation; ants, spiders, molds, etc. So they cleared out the contents and went with fresh.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
