Hi, the chicks in my bird box are a week old/hatched and I noticed the wood pecker at the weekend. Now it has made the entrance hole bigger. What can I do for them, or will I scare off the parents if I intervene? I have ordered a metal hole protector to arrive tomorrow, was hoping I can attach it without scaring mum off!
As in other thread, fingers crossed. The plate is well worth having, but best fitted in Autumn.
