Little Birdy!!

these cuties r nesting in one of our birdhouses :wub:

Aww! So adorable!!!

i know arent they? :wub:

i think they r barn swallows not sure though

whenever i approach the house they zip out of it, but if i had a net i could catch one lol

we've had this birdhouse for several years

we put it on one side of the shed, birds nested in it

then they stopped for many years

then we moved the birdhouse and they r nesting in it again!

i dont know how they have room with the old bird nest in there lol

How big is the entrance hole? It looks like they could be wrens. Barn swallows don't nest in boxes around here. They build a nest made of grasses and mud.

Hole is 2" diameter

 

[sinensispsyched]

They are house wrens, or Troglodytes aedon. Be careful, though, because they will attack and puncture other birds' eggs and young.
