.....with this stupid sparrow.

Before I take the nest box down, however, I have a couple of questions.

1. How long do I have to leave the box down before the house sparrow will
forget about it?

2. He has no mate. How long will he continue to defend a box/territory if
he doesn't get one?

Thanks,

Peggi
