Hey, firstly apologies I’m totally new to the site and know nothing about birds, and wish I done more research now.
This is my first house, I wish I could use that as an excuse, but I still feel awful I’ve done something wrong here.
A bird box in our garden in a very shaded area, and noticed a blue tit flying in and out.
I was in the garden and noticed chirping from the box. I put my phone camera to the hole and saw 4 fledglings. Now 4 days later, they are all dead.
Did I scare them to death?
I opened the door, looked inside and found 6 inside, one at the bottom completely eaten by maggots leaving only a few bones.
What do I do?
I feel so sad and guilty I did something wrong
Best thing would be to treat yourself to a nestbox with cam fitted that you can view via laptop, they are not all hideously expensive!
