I was involved in some general musing when the above thought came by me.
When there is a downpour, those nests are full of lil chickies, Mum/Dad sitting atop them.
Oh, the life of a new born

The time of year does that. New trees?

Not just baby birds in Spring, think of the poor birds this time of year having to cope with storms with gale force winds, torrential rain & freezing weather. I would not like to be a bird. Supposing the tree you decide to roost in got blown down too, no thanks.

Thatās why Iāve seen so many birdsā nest under eaves of houses. Theyāre sheltered from the rain and elements. But quite a bother for homeowners sometimes.

Someone set free a tamed Jackdaw some years ago where we lived before. He was a menace, took pegs off washing lines, swooped down on the unsuspecting & was generally a nuisance. I felt sorry for him, until that Winter when he decided to roost under the eaves outside our bedroom window in the corner. All night long heād moan āPoor, poor Jackā, we yelled at him, banged on the window, but he didnāt shut up. In the end he was taken by a neighbours cat so we then had peace. Moral, never rescue & hand rear a Corvid unless you are going to keep it a pet for itās life.

In my area of England, a new house cannot be built unless the architect has made provisions for ābird bricksā to be included during construction.
