When I went to pull down carriers to clean for a rabbit show, something flew past my face!

Hoping it wasn’t a rat…I looked a little closer and found this:

Unfortunately I needed the carriers and couldn’t just put them back so I rebuilt a stack on top of the next and hoped mamma bird would find it satisfactory….

She did come back for a few days and was using the new nest. About a week later I saw two of the eggs outside the nest and no mamma bird in site…she ended up abandoning the nest , or she might’ve gotten hurt somewhere and couldn’t come back. I was looking forward to see the babies too!
