The short answer is: Visiting the nests that are in your baffled nest boxes during the early and middle stages of nesting is okay. Visiting the nests of cup-nesting birds or ground-nesting birds (not in boxes) is almost always a no-no.
Q. How big should a bird nesting box be?
If you’re not sure what bird species in your area are most in need of nesting boxes, a diameter of 32 millimetres is good for all common birds that nest in small holes. But smaller species such as blue tits who move in may get ousted by larger, more dominant species.

Q. What is the most hated eye color?

Red
Q. Which is better dark or light mode?
Summary: In people with normal vision (or corrected-to-normal vision), visual performance tends to be better with light mode, whereas some people with cataract and related disorders may perform better with dark mode. On the flip side, long-term reading in light mode may be associated with myopia.
Q. Should I use dark mode all the time?
While many people feel more comfortable using dark mode in dimly lit conditions, it’s not always advisable to do so. An important moot point that goes against the use of dark mode for better visibility is that the light on dark theme — especially for text — is not necessarily good for everyone.
