Wild Lady - the poster said that
she put the bird back in its nest!
Also, Blackbirds don't migrate! Smeegal's will be more or less resident in her garden and local area.
Marie: I would say leave well alone. If the parents are taking food to the nest it is bacause they are feeding a live chick or several: in due course (a couple of weeks, I think) it/they will fledge and you will see it/them about the garden. Even if by taking a peek
you didn't disturb the birds (and you may well do), you could inadvertantly give the nest site away to other predators.
Male Blackbirds can be very aggressive towards potential predators and if your cat is at present wary, then that can't be a bad thing for the birds! Maybe puss has learned a lesson, too, and will leave birds alone in future!
