Nesting Box Question
Hi, all! I love birding and I recently set up a bluebird nesting box in my yard, hoping to allow nesting to take place. Unfortunately, though a wren moved in after about a week, after making a dummy nest and hanging around and singing for a few days, he left and hasn’t returned. A sparrow took over and hasn’t made progress on the nest, but has been seeking a mate (I hope) and staying on the nest box to claim his territory. I don’t mind having a sparrow nesting (I do love sparrows, even if they are invasive) but I was wondering if I should clear out the old wren nest, since it doesn’t look like he’ll be back.
