The last two bluebird eggs are gone. The nest is officially gone for the year. The sparrows managed to win the game this round. Found bluebird eggs within a few days of hatching destroyed. Pierced by the house sparrow beaks. They started building a nest on top of the broken eggs. The house has been taken down. I will continue next year all over again. This happens from time to time. Never gets easier. But I know going into it I am dealing with nature. Shattered eggs and shattered heart for now. This too shall pass.

Broken heart just stops showing that it is broken inside
Yes i know, both eggs were destroyed, for a total of four.
Awe, I’m sorry. Darn sparrows.
Thanks Kim, it broke my heart. It happens but so hard.
Wish a good day for you
Thank you and the same to you.
Vishnu beat Shiva and then lost in the grudge match. But keep in mind that you got a bumper crop to begin with and you made sure the sparrows did not profit from their felony…
You are exactly correct Alex. I have to keep reminding myself about that bumper crop to get me through. This is all a grim reminder of how it is for wildlife in nature. Most do not have the protection I give the bluebirds. The bluebirds have been lucky over the past several years in my yard and then nature intervenes. I will start over in the spring.
Of course, the sorrow is great. And I’m sorry.
Is there a possibility that in a large fenced cage, where they can not learn the sparrows and those birds live, nest and get the young?
No, these are wild birds and the bluebirds live in a specific type of house on a pole.
Thanks for the idea.
It’s not a problem. I tried to help.
P.S. and ZOO are also wild animals.
There may be a solution.
You are right but the bluebirds come and go from my yard, even when they are nesting. Not sure how they would react if they were not able to do that.
It’s hard to see but well, there is always next year and the bluebirds does have kids from their previous nest…
Yes i know you are right. 🙁
I’m sorry, but you’re bothered.
It will be ok eventually.
I am sorry for all time spent and then to lose it all, but you tried and that should make you feel better I hope.
Yes it has happened before and I will get over it.
