I suggest patients. It will not be long. Good luck! Dear Mary,

When you're standing outside looking at the vent, there are three metal flaps that open somewhat, when the stove fan is turned on. I have no idea how they managed to build the nest inside, but they did. What is the problem? These freaking birds to not shut up. Ever. It is no longer cute or sweet - they are driving me crazy. Is there anything I can do to make them be quiet? I'm not a cruel person - I have no intention of harming them or their babies - I just want to know if there are any solutions you can think of. Today I climbed up on a ladder and opened the vents briefly, and saw the birds sitting on their nest, so I left them alone. I wanted to see if there were any babies but the birds looked pretty full grown to me. I felt bad for frightening them and will not disturb them again. Meantime, seriously, is there anything I can do, here? Do you know how long all of this is going to take before their eggs hatch and these babies grow up and fly away? Please respond via email at newsgirl58@entouch.net. Thanks. A couple of wrens built a nest inside our stove fan vent (that leads directly to the outside.

Ever.

It is no longer cute or sweet – they are driving me crazy.

They were probably about 3 days old when I 'rescued' them. The little guys did great, they were eating and flying. I was taking them outside everyday. They werent trying to find insects on their own. Two of them died in the past 24 hours. I am trying to figure out what I did wrong. My advice to you is read everything you can find about caring for baby wrens. I've been feeding them a mixture of canned cat food, mashed up dry cat food moistened, oats, peanut butter, and mashed cooked egg yolks. They were always hungry and I may have overfed them. Maybe wrong kind of food. I may have made them too cold by trying to clean them because they kept dragging their tails in their poop. The research I've done repeatedly says how fragile they are and how quick they can get ill. They can get fluid in their lungs if the food is too moist, or if the food isn't put far enough back in their throat. I wish you and the little birds the best. Please post on here how the little guys do. Need Wings I have been trying to care for 5 house wrens for almost 3 weeks. They were probably about 3 days old when I ‘rescued’ them.
