April 04

good morning!

Not sure what is going on in this nest box ...
06:59 Starling male comes, sings his song and female comes. Wondering a bit about behavior, but ...


Part 2


07:11/12 both out

[Shanta]

I was wondering about this male and his behavior against female

07:13 Starlings back in box, a little fight

07:15 Male leaves, female a bit talking and also out

07:23 Male comes with nestmaterial, is a bit nervös and off


07:25 Male was singing outside, now back in box. Not sure what he is doing at the window ... sometimes it looks like defending, but singing
07:30 he left

[Shanta]

07:30 Male back with nestmaterial, denfends window and singing. Female comes in, a little he and he leaves the box. Female is talking and also out



07:32 "Talking female" back ... think, it's a good name

[Shanta]

07:34 Male back with nestmaterial, talking female comes ... don't think it's another male, a little fight and he leaves the box. The other one follows a bit later



07:37 Male back with nestmaterial, observing the window, defending. He takes a short rest
07:41 Male off
07:42 Male back, defending window, but talking female comes in

[Shanta]

07:44 Talking female back, checking the box



07:46 Starling off

It was an in and out from female and male (with nistmaterial)

07:48 Singing male comes in, female (think this is the right one)follows, she observes the window ... suddenly a second female comes in. Male immediately leaves the box, females have a fight

[Shanta]

07:51 Talking female immediately back and is always in and out many times

07:57 Male back with nistmaterial and dending window
08:03 Male with nestmaterial, poor guy seems to be tired, defends window



08:09 Female in and out
08:13 Male comes, defending window and leaving 08:14
08:17 Male back, defending window and off

Now I've lost track, who is in and out
09:09 Male last seen

Few pics from the fight
07:50 Male is on the right side

[Shanta]

07:50


Male has left the box




Think, now I understand why the male sometimes is soft and sometimes so aggressiv ... 2 females and if not comes the right one, then
