Subject: [CT Birds] bird house cleaning
3/18 After watching a titmouse and a house sparrow inspect one of my bird
houses, and then just leaving, I decided to take a peek inside. One of the
doors, I could hardly open. When I finally did, aside from the regular
debris, some acorns etc, there was a cream/tan colored dry firm substance
attached to the walls inside the bird house. It almost looked like foam,
but it was so firm. It took me at least
10 minutes with a chisel to scrape the substance from the inside walls. It
appeared to have small
egg like things inside it. Wasp material? spider material? any
suggestions?
the other 3 bird houses were easy to clean-just having dirt, grasses, moss
etc.
