The basic rules for studying nesting birds, therefore, are as follows: disturb as little as possible; preferably examine nests only when the owners are absent; be as quick as possible; and at all times exercise the greatest care and caution, remembering that a little carelessness can bring about the accidental destruction of nest and brood.

The people who are interested in helping bluebirds even with just one nestbox in their yards are REALLY special human beings.

(Quote by - Keith Kridler)

English Sparrows and Cats are bitter enemies of our song birds. The bad mannered, rowdy, dirty, raucus voiced sparrow bands together in flocsk to torment the Wrens, Bluebirds, Robins and other bird we love. The sneaking, cruel cat hunts them for love of hunting. The most petted, pampered tabby is still a bird hunter. (Quote by - Joseph H. Dodson)

I am responsible for what I do. What I want to know is not how does what we do affect the overall success rate, but rather, how many individual bluebirds and Tree Swallows, including nestlings, will die as a predictable result of what I do. I don't have any reason to believe that they are willing to sacrifice themselves and their babies so that I can achieve my goals for bluebird restoration. (Quote by - Paul Kilduff)
