I have two tit boxes within sight of each other. blue tits are nesting in one, great tits in the other. There is one blue tit that is feeding the young birds in the great tit box. It has to wait until the great tits are not visible, then pops in with a beak full. If the great tits see the blue tit near the box they chase it away. I think the blue tit is one parent of the nestlings in the blue tit box as the feeding frequency to this box is only half the great tit frequency (about every minute). Has anyone else seen this behaviour? The two boxes look completely different although both have entrance holes.
