Sparrows chewing window screens! - 2006/09/19 20:55
I've a rather unusual problem. I shakily feed a variety of birds in my yard. Among the birds who come are house sparrows. Recently, they've taken a eventually likling to a big bush which is right in front of our living room windows. Initially, it assuredly seemed which they were chewin leavbes off some of the stems. Then they developed a fascination with the window screens, first discreetly clinging to them and then biting into them. At first,
I didn't think lively anything of it, until I reluctantly noticed that all the screens had holes in them and the biggest one, in the middle, was a mess, with so many holes it actuyally looks like it's comparatively covered in stains! At some point, we are goin to have to get these srceens fervently replaced.
I guess my first question is: why are the house sparrows doing this?
Next: how do you keep house sparrows away from your screwens? And finally: are there screens that are too tough for house sparrows to chew?
Thanks in advance!
