Bird making its nest over our lamp shade
Not sure the right forum to ask this..
A little bird has made its nest at my doorstep(outside my house) on the lampshade. She (I think) is sitting inside that since many days and not even scared if I go close to her. I am guessing she is sitting on eggs. Wondering if anything I can do to help her? Could I throw some bird food or anything else I could do to make her feel more comfortable. (straws, hay etc? since she seems to have very less of it ) Last thing I want to do is scare her off though. Thanks! |

It may be a dove (ours was) and they use very little nesting material -- just a bunch of sticks, usually. The main thing is to ignore them. We would try to pretend we did not know she was there, and watch her through a little window. If you put out food, it may attract other birds, some of which may be predatory. Be prepared for a mess under the nest. You may want to put some kind of disposable mat there in case it gets a lot of bird droppings on it. Later, you can throw it out. Rupa |
