They're determined little buggers. They'll find a way, now or next time. Sparrows usually breed twice per season, even more often sometimes/some places.

On the other hand, sometimes birds are really bird-brained. We had a beautiful pair of pigeons who nested on our balcony one year, and hatched-out two babies.

We came home one day, and one baby was completely disappeared; and a few days later, we found the remaining baby decapitated on the floor, parents gone. Crows! The pigeons had nested too openly, and were too vulnerable to predators.

'Nature, red in tooth and claw' and all o' that...

Determined is right!....After I saw them rebuild that nest 3 times I made a point to watch. But feel bad they just try and try again only to see their work fly away..... Wondered then if the male bird wasn't just a fool for picking such a spot to build....(you know you've got the bug when you start talking to the birds.) When the female showed up I told her she picked the wrong guy! Ha!

Tough seeing those babies gone..I didn’t know smaller Birds could be so vicious!
