mrsgrumblebum Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 A few months ago we erected a large shed in our back yard. Before we could get the side door on 2 swallows made there home in the shed then lil bubba swallows came along. So we thought we'd wait til the bubbas left the nest before we erected the door. The babies left the nest about a week and a half ago so over the week end other half erected the door, locking out the mummy and daddy swallow. But when ever we opened the door or roller door the mummy & daddy would come in ,so we just tried to keep everything closed so they couldn't renest. They have been hanging around still, but alas 1 of them has gone to the bridge. I was hanging out the clothes and the mummy and daddy swallows were sitting on the roof of the house twittering away,they flew off then this large white bird swooped and carried off one of the swallows with the other in toe trying to get the mate. Now the mate that is left is just calling and calling for it's mate. it is sad but I guess that is the animal food chain. RIP little swallow rest in peace.

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Always sad, no matter what. I cried last year when a little dove that had nested in my tree for years was killed by my neighbour's bloody cat. Her mate has been alone ever since.
