Grub up!<\/p><\/div>\n

The Tree Sparrows have built a dome shaped nest which means they are hidden from view most the time when in the box. However, you may have noticed that the adult birds appear to be bringing food to the box this last week and if you get a chance to listen to the live video feed, you might hear chirping. Does this mean we have chicks?<\/p>\n

If you are playing outside, take care not disturb the birds in our nest boxes, it’s a busy and exhausting time for them.<\/p>\n

Some Tree Sparrow facts:<\/p>\n

Clutch size: 5-6
\nIncubation: 12-13 days
\nTime to fledge: 15-18 days
\nNumber of broods: 2-3<\/p>\n

Can you hear the hungry chicks in this when both adults visit to feed them?<\/p>\n
