Sparrow story cycle 3 continues

Dec 20, 2011

Today morning, in the new sparrow box with the round entry, the sparrow couple inspected and planning to start next nesting cycle. I dont know whether they had started building nest inside, as till today evening, no signs of spillage of twigs. But I could observe one thing:- The nest box hole should be round, as only after making the hole from square to round, the sparrows showing atleast some interest to occupy it. Some snaps from my mobile camera.

sparrow nesting 3rd cycle

18th Dec 2011-  Begining of Sparrow nesting season - 3rd cycle.

In my sparrow nest, after a lull period of around 15days I could see some activity; for the past two days some sparrows comes and inspecting the site!!! Infact there was a fight between two male sparrow, may be for occupying the nest space.

Today ie 18th Dec 2011, Sunday.

Since morning a male and female sparrow, occupied the old sparrow house. Ofcourse, the old house was not cleaned, but I could see some activity of new twigs and tweets. The renovation of the nest is going on. The sparrows themselves, cleaning the old nest for their next nesting cycle.

Also I could see the female sparrow, exploring the possibilities of occupying the new sparrow box developed by me using card board. As an experimental measure I made the entry hole in square shapped. But so far no sparrow ventured into it. Today for the first time, the sparrow tried to enter into it. So I modified the entry point from square to semi round, as I could make a perfect round.

You can see the modified semi round hole. I hope sparrow will occupy the new nest box in future..
