      The best home security if you could toilet train the thing. The biggest hurdles I see are:
      1. Food. Wasp flight at that size would be immensely costly in terms of energy. You'd have a mini airplane on your hands that cannot use efficient fuels like kerosene or petroleum for combustion. An active, dog-sized wasp could easily out eat a whole kennel.
      2. Waste. Wasps piss an awful lot! That's how big nests can ruin structures like load-bearing walls in houses.
      Other than that, wasps are highly social animals. They're probably more social than your pet cat. I think you could really bond with a wasp, given the right pheromones. Best buddy for life!

      At one point, the wasp could well be the same size as the chicks of those birds. The last thing you want is to get wasps accustomed to paying conjugal visits in your nest. Where there is one, there will be more very soon, because pheromones are a thing.

      @@kevinfitzpatrick5949 I wonder if the shotgun would be enough. Assuming scaling up works (which we kind of know it does not, but let us pretend) the wasp would be 1. very fast 2. very strong 3. likely have a very good natural "armor" 4. perhaps it would, with a larger brain, be more intelligent than normal-sized wasps: even normal wasps and bees show surprising cognitive abilities. Given these 4 things, I am not sure a shotgun would be enough and imagine if the wasp recruited others. I think the bird showed real courage, perhaps afraid but doing what she needed to do.

      Birds are extremely smart and expressive animals, especially for their size. The reason they might seem more automatic and "rigid" when you're seeing them is because they're in survival mode; close to the ground, exposed, and looking for food, which means they have to be pretty focused because they're very vulnerable.

There were individual wasps trying to build things on all of our angled windows, so 5 of them. if I hadn't noticed sooner that would've been a bigger problem

It's the recently de-hibernated queen that builds a nest, and that's basically a one off event occurring in early spring. This looks like just another a forager to me, but I can definitely see why the tit would not want it hanging around. A single wasp sting could probably kill her.

      I was thinking. Everyone is saying “brave bird”, but considering the size difference isn’t it the wasp that’s stuck in there with the bird, and not the other way around?

    Imagine a flappy door--like a dog door--that the birds can easily push through but that keeps bugs out. I wonder if the birds could be trained to use it though. They probably wouldn't think to try I suppose. Unfortunate.
    Now, if you get together with Mark Rober, you could design a camera detection system that figures out when it's a bird, or even a *specific* couple of birds, to keep out predators. But then, after the parent birds hatch eggs, it has to figure out what the babies look like, perhaps by learning by studying the camera inside the bird house, so that it can open and close for them too. Or it might even decide to stay shut for the babies if they are too young and would fall to their deaths. I suppose you would need high-quality cameras with zoom lenses and A.I. that watches the footage and zooms in and out and pans as necessary, etc, then classifies what it sees and keeps intruders out. There would need to be a perch a short distance from the door, where the birds could land to give the camera/A.I. time to study them in case it is slow at times, as well as another perch right before the door, in case the birds are too fast for the door to open and need a place to land if it doesn't do so in time. But hopefully, the door mechanism will be extremely quick, and the A.I. will be fast enough too. Dark conditions would make it more challenging and necessitate good-quality infrared cameras. But those are sharper in general anyway. However, they lack color and birds use a lot of color that might be useful for classification. Probably the best route would be to use a combination of camera types plus a human operator that trains the A.I. by hitting buttons when it sees live, or even recorded, footage of various creatures approaching the door. If you think, "Yes, I want to let in those particular birds" then hit the button for that, the system will learn from this. So you get remote control human override as part of the package.

      That wouldn’t be a good idea. I don’t know where they are and if it can get very hot there but the air flow in that nest would stop and it can lead to overheating and even suffocate the chicks. Birds need that air flow in their nests. It’s why you’ll see birds sometimes pull or mess around with the material in nest bowls. So when the chicks hatch, they can breath and not be so hot under mom. Even when they have hatched the mom will still continue fluffing up the bowl to keep the air open for them. It can also lead to increased concentration of ammonia and pathogens too.
