The babies of the song sparrows, finches and robbins are also gone along with the blue jays and cardinals. Just nibbling on a few scattered seeds in my yard. She did not make an effort to return to the house, but kept scattering about the ground without any sounds. I went back to my reading and lo and behold, one of the parents returned and sat right in front of me on a shepherd's hook. No little dead babies on the ground either. Today, to be sure, I got very close to the bird house and didn't see anything, although the twigs go very low into the cavity of the house. I have a feeling they all left the nest.the day before the spraying, the parents would let me know I was a little too close by their very loud chirping. Can I do anything? If so, what? Please help! I love almost all animals and birds, and I just want to help it!!! ~~~Cathy in Cary, NC I don't know 100% if she's abandoned her nest. What can I do? Take the egg and warm it up? How do I even do that? Or do I even try to save the baby inside? Will the mama come back?ĭid she know something about the egg that I don't know by just looking at it, like the baby inside had deceased? I don't see any evidence of the presence of any other eggs. I didn't know if she had even laid any eggs but figured she had something since she was always sitting inside and bringing home food. Did she not lay any eggs and left? Today I took my cell and decided to video tape the inside of the nest. I laid them on my porch where I saw her once before. To be nice I went back into my house and brought back some seeds. They DID it and we're delighted to have given them their first home.Ī few days ago I went to the nest to check in on her.
I wish I could have seen those tiny guys make their first flight, but oh well.
Went out and - voila! - they had flown! The little nest is empty. When they were still at it this morning, I was so scared they would squawk themselves to death.īut then suddenly at around 10:00 am we didn't hear anything. Here I read that this could be mama's way of urging them to fledge - she withholds food as a way of motivating them to get out of that nest! I mean, NON-stop cheeping and crying from those babies. Three days ago, I was freaked out because I stopped seeing mama wren coming and going into our tiny cute felt wren house. I am so glad I came to this site, because we are used to having house finches, not house wrens, and this was totally different!
