Thank you so much for this post, as I did not know there was anything I could do to protect a chickadee nest. Last year the wrens destroyed a chickadee nest in one of my boxes, and just this week a chickadee built a nest in one of my wren boxes. Are there measurement guidelines to follow? How far out from the box, and how far below the hole should it hang for it to be effective? So the chickadees will go under, but not the wrens? If I put it up now, will the chickadees abandon the nest? I don’t believe they have laid any eggs yet.
Big thank you for any advice. And my chickadees thank you!
