Today I captured the
video below. The male blue tit calls the female into the box (the video has no
sound but you can see his his bill moving). The female then enters and inspects
the box. You can see her flapping her
wings, indicating she is looking for a place to build a nest. Later on she will use these same moves to spread out the nest materials. Although there is
no material in the box yet (and I’m not expecting it for another month), this
nest building reflex is already there!
