Hi all,
I just joined the bird forum in hopes of getting some information about an incident that recently happened that I am very upset about. I set up a bird house in my yard recently and there were 2 (I believe wrens) building a nest in it. It was so exciting to watch. Unfortunately, over the weekend my cat caught and killed I believe the mama bird. Shortly after the incident, the papa bird was flying around frantically looking for her and squawking away. He did not come back yesterday, but was back today with another birdie checking out the nest. I am not sure if he found himself a new mate or if they were fighting. I have just been so upset about the mishap and I am hoping he is okay. What are your thoughts? PS. I have some really cool videos of them building the nest and a new one today with his new mate.
