Thank you,so what we did was actually a good thing
We do not have any birdhouses in the trees,we have them(3) attached under the eaves on the house.
This enables us to see what's going on,watch feedings etc,also it seems relatively safe from predators.
We only get Sparrows though,but they are cute too.
Hazel,I am with you on the chocolate
