Today some crows showed up and quickly discovered the finches' nest. We tried everything to scare them away but they kept returning. Wild Birds Unlimited mentioned a "magic halo" made of wire and monofilament line, but we wondered if it would deter the mama and papa finches as well as the crows. While we were researching our next move, a crow emptied the nest of the babies and remaining egg.
I know crows have to eat, too. But we had even named these little guys--big mistake. RIP Evander and Rosie.
oh, that is so heartbreaking!! The only good thing is that mama and papa will have another brood at another time- and hopefully you'll be able to protect that one. )o: So sorry for you!
