These are nests in the trees from last year. It made me google what happens to these old nests. They are not re-used but birds will return to the same site and rebuild! They may recycle some of the pieces from the old nest. It is better to leave the old nests for their rebuilding efforts.
That's interesting, didn't know that! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIs that true of all birds I wonder.
ReplyDeleteGood thought apparently Hawks and such keep building on their old nests
Deleteclever birds, I would prefer a new nest too!
ReplyDeleteoh your post reminded me the incident i witnessed four days ago ,in my school building under the roof of corridor there is a fancy grill where the ceiling fan is hanging ,i used to see a couple of sparrow bringing strings and going under the fancy shad,i avoid turning the fan on when the pair is around ,four days ago when during the break time i was sitting on the chair having tea suddenly a sparrow fell on table font of me little blood came out of his mouth and he died it was so sudden and i was too shocked as he could not live in that house he was building alongwith his companion ,the fast moving wing hit his heart so hard ,i wonder what will do his partner now
ReplyDeleteOh Baili that is awful!
DeleteI think I read before that birds won't use the same nest twice. It would be less silly if they didn't go to the same area and use their old nest to make the new one. Just live in the old nest.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a study I am now realizing ...old nests can be I bad shape, invaded by parasites etc.
DeleteI always find interesting how the birds create a nest!
ReplyDeleteLovely post
xx
I knew they didn't reuse the whole thing again the next year. Birds are weird
ReplyDeleteI don't see bird nests in my yard anymore.
ReplyDeleteA lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a beautiful shot Christine! It's interesting to learn about the bird's nesting habits, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think some birds use old nest is funny I dont know why !
ReplyDeleteLast year I saw an old nest we had was busy three times in the year :))
But usually the nest are in the trees and nobody use.
I wonder what they do in Hawaii. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteFunny last bit, their rebuilding efforts.
