    At the beginning of the video the bird was inspecting the house, looking from 1 side to the other, visually measuring the box, instinctively knows how big the sticks most be, and dividing the box with their visionary instincts oh how big the nest should be. Simply complex and smart.

    Very interesting. The bird chose a bird box next to a tree, knowing it could conserve energy building the nest. Then, just like human babies, the chick's can't communicate they are in danger, like when the roof of their nest continually gets removed.

    I'm in central Illinois & my house wrens usually don't make it. My neighbor's free-range cat is the bane of my existence during the summer. He nabs them up as soon as they fledge. I thought I was doing good just putting sparrow guards over the entrances. Grrrr. You must have enough chemical-free native plants nearby to produce the number of caterpillars needed to rear a brood of babies. Good job!

      Hmm. I was inspired to put up a couple boxes for chickadees and wrens, but you're making me rethink my plans. My neighborhood has a few roaming cats, and I'd hate for native birds to put so much energy raising their babies only to feed a cat. I need to do some research and find places around the property that give fledgling birds some cover and escape routes. MY cats won't be an issue for them, they're indoor-only because I don't want them destroying the local ecosystem!
