When I needed to get my TT safety inspected last year, there was a wren nest complete with eggs just inside the square hole in the bumper plug. I hurridly had it inspected and brought it back home, hoping the eggs would hatch before we were scheduled to leave on vacation. They hatched a couple of days before we were to leave. I placed a plastic lawn chair in front of the bumper to get mama used to going through the chair to the nest. I later placed the nest in a box with the same size square hole in the chair the same height from the ground. She found it and seemed okay with the move! Before leaving I decided to place a good sized flat rock on top of the box to foil predators (cats & foxes)and to keep the wind from blowing the box. After we got to our destination we called home - it had heavily rained and the box got wet and collapsed and the rock squashed the little guys !! Oh well, we tried !!
