They build their nests and then the spring winds come and blow them down, eggs and all. I always feel so bad when I find the blue robin eggs all around the property. I don't put out feeders because of the cats, but I do have quite a collection of bird nests. Each bird has it's own little building code and some of the things you find in them are pretty interesting......lots of dog hair, bits of dog bedding, shredded blue tarp.... I haven't seen my beautiful bachelor pheasant in quite awhile. I hope no one has put him in a stew pot.
