  2. There weren't any chicks. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 6:03 PM May 4th via Ustream.TV
  3. Phoebe hasn't been around today. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 6:01 PM May 4th via Ustream.TV
  4. @jessgranger Have ordered netting to seal entire area. 10:03 AM May 4th via web in reply to jessgranger
  5. @jessgranger Sorry, didn't see this. This was a chat in social stream. Lines are close together, crow got thru another spot on other side. 10:02 AM May 4th via web in reply to jessgranger
  6. I believe he squeezed between top of bush and cloth. Saw him casing it yesterday. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 2:50 PM May 3rd via Ustream.TV
  7. Crows can't see anything unless they get under the cloth. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 2:46 PM May 3rd via Ustream.TV
  8. The sides with lines and cd's. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 2:43 PM May 3rd via Ustream.TV
  9. Way more lines. And every site I read said test show snakes, owls and cd's repel crows. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 2:35 PM May 3rd via Ustream.TV
  10. Even with all our defenses, a crow got in and took the eggs. It's hopeless as long as that crow knows where she is. 10:49 AM May 3rd via web
  11. Nothing was broken. Lots of protection added after crow attack. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 4:26 PM Apr 29th via Ustream.TV
  12. The nest material is used in other nests. If she doesn't use nest again, it is shredded soon. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:59 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  13. She's rolling the eggs and forming the nest bowl. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:51 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  14. I don't use red dye. I don't really know, so play it safe. Wouldn't see it in mine anyway. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:43 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  15. Homemade, 4:1 ratio. I pour it in boiling hot so everything get sanitized. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:40 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  16. No. I make her find her own materials. A little nervous about any chemicals too. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:36 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  17. We have a feeder on the other side of house. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:30 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  18. She normally zips away the moment I go out there. If I stand still she'll eventuall ignore me ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:29 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  19. The branch is well secured to the board you see to lef. Even held when the crow landed on it. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:19 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
  20. It's fine. She just built the 2nd story off to the side. ( #PhoebeAllens live at ustre.am/1Xt/1) 12:19 PM Apr 28th via Ustream.TV
