Very Smart Jena and very lucky for the birds. You get the bonus of watching them grow.

The nest was in a spruce tree beside the porch, so we put a box on the roof and the parents were there feeding the chicks the same day.

Are they feeding them down on the ground, or did you replace the nest?

You'll get to see them grow, what an experience!!
