When we moved into our old years ago,I found a coffee can that someone made for the sparrows.
I hung it back up on the garage and every year,lots of little eggs were hatched.
I was able to capture photos of these babies,and watch them grow..even caught momma in the nest one night and she was ok with me visiting her nest daily.
Sadly,the nest was empty one day and lots of pieces of the bedding was sticking out. I thought I would be nice and clean the what I could out. Im not sure if it was these babies,or others that were hatched,but I found little bodies in with the sticks.
The summer was hot,and was afraid the heat played a part in the deaths..so I buried the babies I found and got rid of the can .
I no longer live at that house and hope the sparrows that come back early find a new place to make a nest for their eggs.
