Our mama bluebird disappeared a couple of days before babies fledged. Daddy fed like crazy. When we thought they had fledged I checked box -1 baby that was dead in the bottom - about same size as others- next found one drown in pool- then heard one under shrubs- looked great- finally dad showed up & flew down & back up couple times so we thought as was well. Came back 30 min later & found him dead- what in the world happened ? Never had such tragedy with bluebirds. Please respond

Tragedy with bluebirds.
Ambassador's Response, It seems that something was attacking the baby bluebirds. This sounds to me a typical house sparrow attack. I have experience house sparrow taking the nestlings out of the box and dropping them on the ground and even over water.
