Is there something living in there? We have these wrens that will stuff sticks into all of them without actually using them, just to keep anyone else from being able to (like the bluebirds we put them out for). They are native, so you can't mess with the birds, but did I mention that wrens are fucking assholes? They sound like assholes, get into all your shit, tear up plants etc.. Did I mention in addition they get in the house. As an example, one was napping on a wreath on the door, and when I opened it he was now inside. Took an hour to chase him out. That was one of three times now. We clean out the sticks and hope someone else will get a chance. |
