Interesting but she still has a long way to go to finish! Love how the male has to get in there and take out "inappropriate" materials. LOL

I always wondered how they built a nest...what a great idea filming it without disturbing her..thanks for sharing

Wow, thanks for sharing! I have Bluebirds attempting a second nest this summer 2016, they abandoned their first 5 eggs :( Now they laid another 4 eggs mid June and I think I saw 3 live babies today, 3 days old. I'm worried about fire works disturbing them on 4th July.... The female is very skittish. I LOVE Bluebirds!

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

lol - some of us crocheters, knitters, and semesters do it stitch by stitch - Mom does it piece by piece. Thank you so very much.

I always really love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing them!

So interesting how she builds her nest. I never knew that. I have a channel of bluebirds outside of their nest.

THANKS FOR SHARING, I'M STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO SHOW UP! CHURCHTON, MD

I saw one yesterday eat from our suet feeder. Its still winter in feb.

How awesome! I have a pair of bluebirds and actually a lot of other wild birds that I feed and I was contemplating buying a nesting box but I get so many hawks in my backyard that I chase away almost daily as it is. I would hate to put the baby chicks in jeopardy. But thanks for such a beautiful video. I loved seeing the process.

Was that pine needles or grass? I couldn't really make it out,awesome video though. Way better than TV. Cheers.

That is great! Hope they make it.

Bluebirds will have several broods each season. Should the nest be cleaned out between broods? Thanks

It is considered good practice to remove the old nest. A good time to clean the box again. I am streaming live from our bluebird nest at: facebook.com/nels.anderson

What is she doing when she flaps her wings inside the nest? Trying to fluff up the materials she's using???

This is the way she builds the "pocket" for her eggs. I have a live stream of her building her second nest of the year at facebook.com/nels.anderson

Btw what do they use

Well around here in NC they use pine needles for 90% of the nest. The rest is grass and finally they line the nest with fine soft grass. Pretty amazing.

What torture for the bird. I feel sorry for it. So cramped and dark and so narrow. It looks like the bird is in prison. Why are these birdhouses made so narrow and cramped???
