Today's test stream is to see if it's possible to operate remotely. I'm currently in the USA for a few days so if this works it'll be amazing!
The plan is to run until 7pm using the automation features of the streaming software. Alas, if it goes horribly wrong there's not very much that can de done quickly so thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.There will be times of inactivity but you should be able to rewind the live video to search for visits to the box.
If you do happen to spot a bit of action please note the time in the chat. This will allow others to zip to the spot and become acquainted with our little friend.
Our bird did spend the night in the box last night. Wonder how long that will go on for?
As you can hopefully see, building is underway and today our bird has started shopping in the soft furnishings department. I'll start to put out some wool around the fences in the garden at the weekend.
Please be kind to each other in the chat and try to stay on topic. Best to avoid politics and war at the moment!
There's a friendly little helper called Nightbot who can answer frequently asked questions in the chat. Simply type in one of the phrases below to have your question answered.

Be warned - Nightbot does have a dark side and can also place you in timeout from the chat if you use lots of capital letters (please don't shout), if you keep repeating yourself or if you're a potty mouth.
