First of all is the nest inside ...Hello Anonymous,<br /><br />First of all is the nest inside your Window or Split air-conditioner or somewhere in an opening near the air-conditioner. If you are not hearing babies then it doesn't mean there aren't any inside. If the mother notices you peering or poking the nest then rest-assured she is going to take them to another standby nest. This has happened to me. However there is also a possibility of it abandoning the nest (which is rare). In two cases of mine the mother took her babies away. One with two babies and the other with three. Don't use a sharp pointed stick,but try to push the nest in the absense of the mother to see if you hear any sounds. If you do then wait for the mother to come and then do that again. This time the mother will know the nest has been discovered and she may relocate the babies. Observe and it will even be fun. But sometimes the mother is only preparing the nest. So for this a careful inspection of the nest is necessary. Sometimes the nest might have been used and then abandoned when the little ones have grown and left. Do it carefully though.

I cannot hear any babies, but of course that doesnt mean there aren't any. When do they have babies (India) and when is it safe to get rid of the nest? If there are babies obviously I don't want to disturb it, however I don't want a nest in the airconditionner either!<br />Any help you could give through this blog would be gratefully received.<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
