Hi I was trying to post and provide a link to a community outreach site I am doing to educate my neighborhood… but it keeps saying this post requires moderation? Anyone else having problems when adding links?
so long story short I had a real bad sparrow infestation this spring that came on suddenly at the trail. Bluebird eggs were tossed and an adult swalow was killed all in 24 hours. Due to a terribly designed box (those cedar walmart ones are poor craftmanship lately) a gap allowed the sparrow to escape my van ert. This was after the first bluebird eviction and before the bluebird second nest was raided. I have since caught the sparrow (damage is done unfortunately)and it seems settled down now.
Here is the poster i plan to put in a few locations near the park linking to my site
Anyways figured this site mught be helpful for your own education outreach and happy to take any suggestions.
Your links are working. I’m sure you know that already.
The ads are quite offensive but I know you can’t help that.
I didn’t read it in detail since we’re out of town but you put quite a bit of work into all that! Impressive.
I know you caught a house sparrow but if you have eggs under your box and the bird escaped through that space at the top of those cheap cedar boxes it could have been a House Wren that did it. I have one of those boxes and house sparrows can’t squeeze through but I had a house wren I was trying to catch and forgot about that space at the top and of course he was able to escape easily. Your space at the top obviously could be larger.Tammy

Thanks. Pretty sure it was a sparrow. The gap is that big. And the sparrows had started a rat nest in each one…plus killed a swallw right across from it. I am kicking myself for not remembering to block the gap before trapping because it happened to me before and a sparrow escaped after tripping the van ert. Sorry about the ads I didn’t even realize that!! Good grief.
