For a couple of weeks my B&G pair have been defending the space behind
the door in my office and tearing up the carpet. Four nights ago there
was an egg sitting in the carpet remains and tonight there's another.
The female is defending the nest ferociously. Raise wings and open beak
if anyone gets withing three feet.
They did the same last year but the eggs didn't hatch. This year I've
added a heater to the room and they seem to have made a better nest. The
male is also helping more. Both years I made them what I thought were
nice nest boxes, but they rejected the boxes.
