Tonight there is a bluebird sitting on one of my pairs of boxes. He is looking at the one that had a nest started. Watching the wren take stuff out and putting sticks in. I would only wish he would build in the box he is sitting on but not as of yet. If I now destroy the wrens nest it will go after the other box from my past experience. The wrens nest is just started not cupped yet.
What I would do is take out SOME of the sticks, not all of them. He won’t be able to figure out what’s going on with that.

Atlanta, GAThe wrens have pretty much taken over all four of my boxes. The last two nights I had to take sticks out of all four of them. I am debating about just taking the boxes down for now until the hopefully leave.
If they would just leave one or two of the boxes alone so a Blue could come in I would not mind it so much. But it seems my area is full of the pesky little things.
It’s been my experience with wrens to keep taking sticks out and that keeps them busy. I’ve also have had them make me feel defeated also but rather than take the boxes down I would just open the sides right up for a week and all the pest would go away. So if your boxes open up I would try that before taking them down. good luck with what ever you decide. dlibby

I am using the Gilbertson box. When I say take them down all one can do is un clip them and remove..
