此貼子所顯示的"人造鳥屋"，一旦出現雀鳥"入住"的情況，將會被示作鳥巢及繁殖行為的照片而被刪除，敬請留意。
The  "artificial nest box" shown in this thread will be considered showing "bird nest" & "nesting behavior" once a bird "moved in", and therefor will be deleted according to the above regulations.  Thank you for your attention.

Dear Wilson

I don't see it as a "storm".  It's just discussion with people holding different opinions.   

I believe you have mis-understood my message or I didn't express it well enough to make you understand.

The photos of the "box" are still there, not deleted, because they don't violate any of our regulations so far.  The message was to remind chikiuso that if later he posts photos of the box with a bird in it then it'll violate our regulations by show nesting photo.

By common sense, wild birds don't need a nest until his breeding time (except certain species for example swift) and the concept of artificial nest box is built in a view to compensate the lose of their natural nesting place, for study purpose & etc.

I hope I have answered you questions well.  If you still have any point for clarification, please feel free to voice out.

Birding season has come, happy birding !!

Cheers

Bonnie
