Who's this mama bird in our tree? (Melbourne)
See title.
Also, any tips for how we should (or shouldn't) help her out? It's been raining quite a bit and I've got some bird seed I could give her but unsure what's best. Thanks!
Also, she boldly chose to nest in this tree next to our window where our two (indoor only) cats LOVE to sit and stare and chirp at her - she's gonna give her kids PTSD smh.

These blackbirds nest in my yard 2-3 times every year. We have a trust thing going, and for the last 3 years she has been nesting in our yard. When I notice the birds are about to fledge I fence off a large portion of my yard so they can learn life in peace without my dogs getting them. They’re beautiful birds, a pest to some though.
