#birdnest — Public Fediverse posts

OMG is it even possible to get a legitimate answer for anything on the internet anymore without the top results being "written" by AI and full of ads top to bottom?? And no, I'm not using google search.

I was trying to find an explanation for why a Swainson's hawk mother would bring fresh twigs with leaves (and what species it would be) to a nest when the babies are just days away from fledging.

I'm adding a photo I from my website if anyone might be able to identify what she has in her mouth.

How do I know if a birds nest is abandoned? Or what is it?

I was trying to hack back a duranta hedge to manageable height and discovered this #nest . I pruned around it, not wanting to disturb possible occupants, but also hoping that the missing branches makes it a less appealing site.

That was a few months back. I'd ultimately like to finish the pruning job (but that hedge is non native/semi-invasive, scrawny and already awkward on the ladder)

Probably 4m from the ground so I can't see in. Are nests reused? Can I remove it? Or do i just wait a few years till it rots away? I feel like a 90s cartoon developer-villan!
