I’ve only had the Birdfy bath for a couple of days. It makes a clicking sound when the fountain is not running, like in this video. What is that about? When the fountain is running that sounds stops and is replaced by a softer sound of the fountain running.

Nature is amazing!! My husband and I were cleaning out the birdhouses we have and planning to take down the one we have that's in bad shape. To our surprise we found a bluebird egg in the bad birdhouse -no nest, nothing just a freshly laid egg lol. We moved it to the Birdfy Nest Duo birdhouse with the old nest from the last clutch (we cleaned the house of all fecal sacs etc) and wondered if the Papa and Mama Blue would figure out where their new egg was.

WELL apparently they knew exactly where it was because Mama went in and laid another egg this morning!!! Maybe we will have more babies soon. I just hope this heatwave breaks a little. It's hard work monitoring newborn babies during a heatwave in South Carolina! 😁😁😁😁

Mama and Papa are still feeding the babies that fledged last week! Do we think we will have more babies? This will be their third brood!

It has been so interesting to watch my little house wrens, Carl and Ellie, over the last couple weeks! I'm really enjoying the nesting and brooding process. Ellie just laid her sixth egg this morning! 🥰 Really rooting for these guys.

For anyone using an umbrella to help shield their nest box from the heat please be careful. A thunderstorm came along and the umbrella bent and caused the birdhouse pole to bend at the bottom and fall over. The nest is in tact and the momma bird came back and was happy to see that her nest was back up. I saw a clip of her on my ring camera sitting on my fence looking at her knocked over nest box and it hurt my heart. I fixed it and had to use zip ties around the box because the bottom broke a bit where I had it mounted . Now I have to figure out how I'm going to get a new nest box once they move out. Also a chick ended up in the corner of the box away from the cup but mom found it immediately and has been tending to it.

It’s been a couple of days since the first one hatched. Anytime i search online it usually says give it about 3 days, but it’s not looking like the other three made it with this heat :(

Enjoying these beautiful birds today! Thanks Birdfy!

The pair nesting in my box are on their third brood of the year after successfully fledging all 10 babies from the first two broods.

Thankfully these 4 are still okay! But they gave me a bad scare last night and kept me up most of the night. They are 4 days old today, so nowhere near old enough to not have their momma on them at night, but she didn’t show back up at dusk. Our peak ambient temp was 102 yesterday. Between the heat and fireworks, I think it stressed her too bad to come back, but I have seen both her and the dad feeding them all morning this morning!

Happy birthday lil guy.

Not sure how many but we have some hatchlings 😁

Kind of hard to see but the leg seems swollen and they are not using it.
