My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
It happened again today. A blackbird picked a baby wren out of the birdhouse and flew away with it while the mother and father fought for their baby. What can I do to get rid of the blackbirds, or is the answer to somehow secure the birdhouses ?
Hole reducers work well. If you have a bird supply store near you (Wild Bird Crossing or other type), they sell metal hole reducers in varying sizes that you screw onto the holes of your birdhouses to keep the larger birds out.
I just happened to find a good link online, though maybe you've seen it (below).
I know how heart-wrenching that is to see a bird carry-off a smaller bird or other critter, especially one you've been feeding!!
We sometimes have a redtailed hawk around that goes for the squirrels and chipmunks. Fortunately, we also have crows, though, and they sometimes chase away the hawk.
The hawk is beautiful, but, I wish he'd dine somewhere else!
