Bird box is being investigated.

By a blue tit.....it keeps pecking at the outside of the box.

Does anyone know why they do this?

Spring is on its way.....love it!.

Re: Bird box is being investigated.

Maybe the entrance is either too big or too small.

They did the same thing last yr,Tiff....they need to be careful...because if they make it too big....other birds could get in there,kill/eat the eggs or babies.
