MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT a pair of house sparrows have been using one of my nest boxes since late March. I was considering cleaning it out to get a fresh start but sometime in the last couple of days a pair of Chickadees have taken over. Can Chickadees bully out House Sparrows or was it abandoned for other reasons?
