What kind of birds are nesting in my wall? IT HATCHED

[maplesky7]

"Bluebird: Neat, cup shaped, woven nest of 100% fine grass or pine needles. Occasionally bits of fur or a few feathers and rootlets. Fairly deep nest cup. Eggs are powder blue, sometimes white. NOTE: Western Bluebirds will routinely add ribbons, cellophane, feathers, thin bark and leaves to their nest. Note: Rare open-cup nests were found in surface-mined lands in KY and on oak limbs in SC."

also included in the link... more pics of egg scale for the eastern bluebirds...

I would say starling do to how the nest is built and it looks like it's in a wall. That's how starlings nest.

I'll say starlings too. We had some nest in our eaves last year. The parents would fly down and scare the dickens out of me everytime I walked around that corner of the house. They were so fast I could barely see them, more like bats than birds. The babies are loud and messy!! It was pretty gross.

I'm hoping they don't come back again this year....

Too large of a nest & eggs are too large for house finches. I would have to say Bluebird (they like tight little spots like that) or starlings.

Try and get a look at the parents if they have a yellow beak they are starlings. My starlings are back in my wall in chicken coop and the messy nest looks just like your pick.

One little chick hatched today. White downy looking stuff. No cellphone = no pic

The egg that fell a week ago was on ground again, candled it and you could see the embryo, but it was dead.

One more egg in nest from what I can see, hope that one hatches!
