    Bird House Colour?

    Instead of a home made bird house this year I decided to buy a ready made one. This was white in colour but since putting up I have had no bird interest at all. Does the colour matter for potential nesters?

    When will they come?

    After 2 years of no nestings in my home made camera nest box I decided to buy a commercial one. Can I ask when domestic birds will begin to explore new roostings?

    Last years nests?

    Feathers & Eyes! It has only been just over a week since the hatching but already their eyes are open and they have an abundance of feathers. I just hope they don't hurt themselves leaving the nest as it is fairly high up and it is concrete underneath! Six chicks out of nine eggs.......

    Last years nests?

    They have hatched! I had to be away of course when the eggs hatched. But pleased to report there is a thriving brood in the nest box! It is a real pleasure to watch the parents feeding such a hungry group. They appear to be enjoyning the mealy worms I placed near by for them! Regards.... jb144

    How long does egg hatching take? Hi All And thank you for reading. We have at least 3 eggs in the nest box! But can anyone give me an idea as to how long they will take to hatch?
