We have bird feeders on our back deck. One of them is for bluebirds and is filled with dried meal worms. There is only one hole on the front for entrance and exit. Some birds get confused and do not know how to get out once they are in. John had to rescue one by lifting up the lid.

Well, one day recently John noticed that there were several sticks inside the feeder on top of the meal worms. He watched it every day as a bird kept bringing sticks and placing them inside. It was trying to build a nest. John removed the sticks twice and refilled the worms to no avail. The next day it was refilled again with sticks.

He finally gave out after clearing it out twice. Today we saw a bird, sparrow, sitting guarding the so-called nest inside the feeder. I snapped a few photos of it. The bird was quite clever by guarding the entrance to prevent my husband from clearing it out once again. It probably took a lot of effort to fill it numerous times and it didn’t want to do it again. Haha!

If and when the bird’s mate lays eggs, we will be able to watch them hatch through the window. I will definitely snap as many photos as I can of this. It will be quite remarkable to witness. I only pray that no other birds get inside and disturb the eggs. This bird looks like a sturdy mate who will stay close by to guard its nest. I guess no one ever told it that this is a feeder and not a nest! Sigh!

Well, I will keep you abreast of what transpires next. I can’t wait!
