The Army sister down in Georgia knew that a wren had built a nest somewhere in her garage. The garage door is sometimes but not always open just enough for a cat to get in and out, and this opportunistic bird had seized the chance to build a protected nest. It took some searching to discover that the expectant mother wren had indeed built the most protected nest imaginable: finding my sister’s body armor, stored on a high shelf in the garage, she’d built a nest in the upturned helmet nestled in the center.
They left it alone, and the whole brood of baby wrens fledged successfully. So here is Georgia Niece showing off the now -abandoned nest.
Fortunately, the straps and padding in the helmet are all replaceable.
