Is there any reason not to control bird blow flies in nests?
Bird blow flies, like mites, fleas, diseases, weather and other adversity allow survival of the fittest to function and helps ensure that only the fittest nestlings survive to reproduce. Nestlings which are protected from adversity may produce offspring that are less fit and less able to survive without human intervention. Remember bird blow flies are perfectly natural and have co-evolved with birds for millions of years. If they kill their hosts, they will die too. This is not the final word on these issues, feel free to send me your comments. twhitworth@birdblowfly.com Thanks to all who have sent me nests.
