    I like this......I use at least 25 boxes and most of them are used every year. We have bluebirds and wrens and many others. They will use everything when it comes to fulfilling the urge to reproduce. I have a little cart with many many decorative bird houses sitting on it and they go into them, condo style, and next. I wheel the cart around and they stay in with their young. They don't care. They must know me by now.

    I don't have nest boxes but the birds nest in the trees and among the bushes in the garden.

    So pleased to hear about your birds. I thought it would be nice to start Bird Nestbox week, something like the other festivals that we celebrate. We missed putting it in the May newsletter. Just something else to keep me busy.
