On the other hand they are safe from the neighborhood cats in there. What say you?
Congratulations on you latest batch of bug eaters!!!!

Leave door open 1/2 and they will leave.
Birds fly "to the light" ...
And like Mousebaby said: Momma will lead the way!!

Once fledged, they will be very safe from the cats.

Wrens love to nest near people....and I am sure many here have delightful stories to tell of the odd places they have found nests.

I have found them in my cloths pin bag, ball cap, just for starters!!
