The problem is the exposure of the nest box to predators and that has a human hand in the choice of the site...

That nest box was used successfully for 2 years, before this cat found out about it, and then climbed up and scared away the adults for 2 years, causing starvation of the chicks. So the box was used first and worked.
Yep it's a cruel world?? So does that mean I can be cruel to a cat? if it's a cruel world then surely that's OK?
I might re do this and call it "Cruel to cats!"
