Hello all, I live in Southern NJ and we regulary feed the wild birds outback. We have many different types of birds that come to grab a snack daily including a lovely cardinal couple and more recently a couple of their offspring (last year's babies are all grown up). Sadly today a tree that the cardinal couple has been nesting in for many years was cut down. A giant branch broke halfway and was dangling, we had to have it removed so it wouldn't hit the house or fence. We were hoping that they could just take the one rotted branch but when the tree guys were working they said the tree looked like the tree was dying and would have to come down for safety reasons. I feel absolutely terrible and was wondering what we can possibly do to help the birdies out. We do have a couple wooden bird nests on the property but none of the birds around seem to use them. I guess they prefer nesting in the trees. Anyway, I read online that it could take them about 2 weeks to build a new nest. Was just wondering in the meantime where will they sleep? Is there anything I can do? I am worried about them.
