I've been watching black birds and starlings stealing my bedding and chicken feathers for nest building recently, love them the starlings are new to our place never been here before for nesting. Stunning birds, and cause they're used to me they just dander about even when I walk toward them they don't fly away.
BUT I'm missing my swallows no sign of them yet, every year since I've been here they have made nests in my pig house 3 nests usually, absolutely love them, they make the nests in the rafters - also aren't very very frightened of me which is good, ables me to sit down and watch the
