Do you know what bird would make a nest in my mail box
here is two shots of it no eggs yet she is still working

Possibly a Starling or maybe a Wren. See if you can get a picture of her. European Starlings are NOTORIOUS for building nests in mailboxes.

You might want to replace your mailman with this little lady--at least she didn't leave you any bills!! :)

Is that a hole in the center where shes climbing in & out? If so I'd go with a wren. I never saw a starling nest with a teeny hole like that.{unless what i see isnt a hole??}

I was thinking mouse or small red squirrel???

Yes it is a hole in the middle thank god she is not leaving
bill's lol but me and the mail lady are gonna fight she pull's
it out when she come's and then closes it and the mamma gets mad
so i put it bk in there for her, she is a small bird with what looks like long beak.hope she don't get mad and not come bk
Grrrrr the mail lady

tell the mail lady it is a federal offense to remove a wild birds nest
Can you put a second mailbox next to the one with the nest?
