We have a chick-a-dee nesting in a bird house in our back yard. Thing is ,it's a home made house (our 1st) and we did not put any way inside for the babies to get to the hole.(to get out) now mommy is trying to take things in and I believe this is to get the babies high enough to get out the hole. any suggestions as to what I can do to help? I thought about tipping the house sideways very slowly so they can reach the hole.??? Please help if you can :)
 
Don't interfere in any way. My chickadees always build their nests in the boxes with no perches and they handle it fine. You start playing with the house and the parents are likely to abandon the nest. Believe me, they wouldn't build a nest anywhere that would hamper their offspring.
