I spent the day defending this nest for a couple reasons.
- This bird is CUTE, an Eastern Bluebird
- She has eggs in this nest
- A bunch of other birds were attacking this nest, and only the mom and dad bird could defend it.
I've always been a fighter for the underdog, the young, and defenseless. So while the birds were having their territorial pissing contest, I COULD NOT leave this nest unattended. Mostly because a few times the birds would divide the parents and a couple would go for the nest, so of COURSE I had to stand watch and protect the young. The parents were WAY out numbered and I was not going to stand for this either.
Here's where the problem comes in...........
