Creatures let you know when you have screwed up.
The bunnies throw their metal pan if their breakfast is late.
Hummingbirds buzz my head when the feeder is empty.
But this was my first scolding by a bluebird.
It started by his looking in the windows while I was cooking.
He was very vocal as he fluttered around the windows.
At first, I thought he was talking to his reflection.
But he followed me across the front of the house.
He repeatedly flew from the windows to the deck railing and back.
It finally dawned on me that the bluebird house attached to the deck pole just below where he kept landing had fallen apart over the winter.
I found a different house and got out the ladder to pop it up in the old house’s place.
I waited. The scolding continued.
It did not want a new house, it wanted its old orange house.
The one that had fallen apart.
Out came the hammer and nails. The ladder was dragged back out.
Up goes the newly reconstructed old orange house.
Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird are pleased.
I don’t appreciate being bossed around by a bird.

But it’s a BLUEBIRD, which is our favorite bird, so you were right to let it boss you around! I am glad the bird let you know what he needed instead of simply giving up and making his nest elsewhere.

What a wonderful story! How lovely to be so in tune with your wildlife and so considerate of his needs. Maybe he was persistent rather than bossy? And hopefully you’ll be rewarded with a clutch of fledglings later in the year.

Anytime I see a bluebird is a reward. That flash of blue is beautiful. Fuzzy babies would be a treat.

You are like a bluebird whisperer. 🙂 I find it amazing how wild animals can communicate with us. My wild rabbits do it all the time.

That’s so funny. Unfortunately you’ve gained a reputation in the bird world, as have I. We are here purely to provide for their every whim. 🙂
