All,
Just venting. Have about 30 migrants stalled here, going to freeze tonight, winds 30 out of the north. Cold days ahead. Break on Sat late.
Fed until late and watched to see them go in.
They are not used to SREH, iv got excluder, modified excluder, and crescents. Only 5 or 6 figured them out. Crescents are easiest, yet nope.
House has many martins stacked on the ledges on this cold cold night. Rest took off to wherever.
Good news is whoever gets these birds, they know about flipped food. Eventally just had to walk out and they came. Bad news is they may not arrive.
Use SREH, train them. Make them safe.
Ok off the soap box.
Please please use SREH
