Hi Marg (et al.),

We've had exactly the same situation at several boxes. If it's just that =
box, the solution may be to move the box out into the open; even just a =
few feet can do the trick. Though if there really is too much fighting =
all over, moving the boxes farther apart might help more birds to =
settle.

Cheers,
Andy
