Jo Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 So, Amy has discovered a nest full of fledglings in my clematis, she just wont leave it be, despite the parent birds dive bombing her, nasty dog doesnt eat them just thinks they are toys [emoji15] I love the fact birds nest in my garden but hopefully they will nest higher up next year!

Maz51 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 The UK loses 35,000 birds a year to cats & other predators. Please, If you can keep your furkid away from these young fledglings' nest, they just might survive or, the parents will stress out and might desert them.They just need a few weeks before they can fly... it's an extremely fraught time for the parents just finding enough food for their babies without also fighting to keep a big fur monster away.... please? 🤗Sent from my SM-G900F using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm afraid its just instinct, to be honest the magpies round here do more damage to fledglings! I cant ban her from the garden. I am going to cut the clematis right back next year and hope the birds nest elsewhere, preferably high up or next door!

chelseafan Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 My other half had blackbirds nesting for the first time ever and the Yorkie tried but couldn't reach them! They've flown now but the birds made the nest high up anyway.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
