Sad  wrens

Icon_rolleyes
Please can anyone advise me? I have had the joy of watching a couple of wrens establish a nest next to my kitchen window. There are now babies squeaking and being dutifully fed by their parents but yesterday I noticed 3 crows circling my garden. The crows are today in our tree and on the roof and the parent wrens are constantly shouting. Are these crows waiting for the wren babies to leave their nest or could there be a crow nest nearby? How can I frighten off the crows without hurting them? They are very brazen. Please help!

RE: wrens

Sadly thats nature Soobee, i feel you could only shoo away the crows temporarily.

If the worst comes to pass, then the wren may learn from the experience, and build in a better place next time.

You cant blame the crows, they too have young and themselves to feed.

Sorry if this appears callous, nature is not always nice.

regards brian.

Hi Soobee
Hope you manage to find a way of keeping the baby wrens safe. I know it is nature but..... Good luck and lets hope the crows are just being protective


Do as you would be done by. Do as you would be did. A burning pot is mighty hot, so don't sit on the lid.

RE: wrens

update
wrens still squeaking - I've got 3 crows because one is a baby! - so now I'm watching the feeding process on my fence.
The robin still comes to look in its old nest (hose reel attached to wall) and the tits are flitting about.
My fish pond is lively and the frogs are in the undergrowth

Housework - what's that? I'm too busy!!

Thats great - they are lovely to watch and as to 'Housework - what's that? I'm too busy!!' - couldnt agree more
