Tom, congrats on catching 7. That’s more than I’ve caught with my DRST recently. They do expire more quickly during the hot season. Since you have it somewhat enclosed they might live longer. Sometimes they live longer than other times. I was worried about mites too but people insist that you cannot get them from birds. I’ve been in this hobby for years and have never heard it happen. But my skin does crawls afterwards…..psychologically.

Nothing.2 or 3 times I’ve caught a HOSP with nothing in the seed tray but that’s unusual. Do you have the trap? Just try it and see. Elevating it would help your situation. Give it asked surface though.

Could be either but I think you’d see it if it was a house sparrow. I had a house sparrow that removed babies 5 times (I think) in one day. He barely reached in his head And snatched them up and dropped then on the ground. I kept putting them back in. If you have a house wren you might need to start using a aren guard.

That is puzzling. I’ve heard that usually bites from a cat end up fatal because of infection from the cat bite. if that is true this could be a different male and that might explain them building again. There’s really nothing you can do except watch and see what happens. That cat is going to be a continued issue.

It could be a house sparrow or a wren. You can leave the nest or remove it. I tend to remove the nests but maybe she would start quickly laying again if you left it. It’s harped to know. I’m so sorry. I know it’s heart breaking. You really need to figure out who the culprit is to try to avoid this in the future. Do you have house wrens around?
