Hi all,
Sadly, I discovered yesterday our baby bluebirds had all died in the nest.
They hatched while we were in Florida so I'm not positive how old they were
but probably 7-10 days.
It seemed as though the parents were tending them well and they were
thriving from the way they looked then we had two cold nights in a row, low
50s. I was feeding some meal worms, not as many as last year but it didn't
seem like the parents were sitting on the worm feeder in need of food
either.
I wasn't able to even take a look at them on Tuesday, then on Wednesday
morning I found them all dead. I haven't seen the parents since.
Is it possible some bacteria or another could have killed them? Or does it
sound more like they starved? Do parents ever just abandon a nest?
Thanks,
Meredith Daggett
