It must be extremely stressful for the parents to be confronted with 6 noisy beaks at every visit.
What a contrast to the WTE nest with one eaglet..
(I was happy to have 2-3 years between hatching o my three 'chicks', now middle aged citizens.)

Hello akle,
yes, that's a lot of work for the adults. But the starlings only breed once in Estonia.
Blue tits lay up to 15 eggs .

and male follows.

There are a lot of insects in the box. Is that from the light and can you turn it off at night?
