I put up nest platforms under the eaves for the phoebes, nice and cozy. They love them. Well this year I am painting the house. They still have babies in the nest and won't feed them when I am on that side. So I paint a little, then go to the other side to paint, then come back and paint a little more. I think they are almost ready to leave, I can see their little beaks and they look almost grown.
If they are so upset by PEOPLE why the heck do they want to nest around my house?? There is a BIG abandoned barn just down the street.
I do love all birds, even the crows around here sound neat, almost like people.
