For some unknown reason the past month or so we've been inundated with your run of the mill, nuisance House Sparrows.
They're just good for nothing scavenger-type birds often seen in the city or McDonalds parking lots begging for morsels.
Well, they've reappeared here at the ole homestead and have already worn out their welcome.
They're on and in the chicken coop and stealing feed, and pooping on everything. They're in the garden bare spots dust bathing, which is making a mess and removing soil. And now they've bullied and forced out a happy and content Wren family! Yup, the bird house pictured below was occupied by a lovely Wren couple until a pair of sparrows moved in and pushed the baby Wren right out, BOOM!
The second picture below is of two baby wrens hidden in the flowers just beneath the bird house. They were there for a couple days, with the parents diligently still watching over them and feeding them. On the third day they were no where to be found. Hoping they took flight and are fine, versus being tasty little wren mcnuggets for some skunk or fox.
I've not had any luck to date trapping a single sparrow.
I will persist and I will prevail.
The fight is real!
