It's all over for my wrens :( (1 Viewer)

I noticed the parents hadn't been around in a couple of days, so I went out yesterday to investigate. They had definitely abandoned the nest, and their baby died. I went back out today to dismantle the nest and discovered why I think they abandoned the nest. ANTS! Ants made a nest in the bird nest and were swarming it.

I'm so sad, and mad.

That's bad news. So I will keep an eye on "our" wrens nesting at the house wall in a small niche just below the eave. Yesterday I saw them delivering food.

No one can avoid to let them building their nest at place from which we know it might be settled by aunts but where exactly were "your" wrens nesting?

One hates to see that happen, nature I guess
