I hear scratching noises coming from my bush in my front yard! I tried to take a broom and gently move the branches around. I just saw a bunch of muddy mulch in a very thick ball-shape. I couldnt see any opening and it is such a thick bush that I couldnt seperate without disturbing the nest. I honestly dont know what is in there, but Im very worried! It is winter here and the snow just melted. If I didnt hear this scatching noise I wouldnt have known it was there! I never see birds around my front yard, so honestly I dont know whats in there!

I honestly dont appreciate the immature comments. This is the GARDEN & LANDSCAPE section, obviously I am not referring to anything else!
*I know there is a nest because I heard something inside scratching and chewing. I live in Ohio and I have never heard of gypsy animals here. I need more helpful answers please!

I live in Wisconscin and I have had similar problems with badger batchlings clumped together in a brown balls. I don't know if badgers live in Ohio or not but I have heard of Gypsy hatchlings clumping together in brown balls for warmth. It is getting near winter and the weather is getting colder so the Gypsys are probably getting ready for hibernation. One way to be sure that they are gypsy hatchlings is to listen closely to their chirping. Gypsy chirping sounds a lot different than any other creatures (remeber gypsies are only sub-human). I would advise you to burn the bush, it's not worth taking the risk. These baby gypsys could turn into fully grown gypsies by the spring and you don't know what full grown gypsies are capable of. Trust me i'm the gypsy hunter I do this stuff as a career. Either that or call pest control, they are professionally trained in how to handle baby gypsy clumps. They will help you out. But remeber don't go too near the bush and your safety is the #1 importance. For more information visit my website at www.gypsyhunting.com or call me at 1-800-HUN-TING.

hmmmm....could be anything. I suppose it would depend on where you live ..... that would narrow down the choices. Some birds nest on the ground but then there was the rat suggestion. You could even call the local vet, zoo, or humane society...anyone in the animal business should know what it is, but I'm opting for some hairy critter.

Robins at the instant are not aggressive-do not subject approximately assaults from them. you in basic terms have 2 thoughts- a million) pass away it on my own till the eggs hatch and the greater youthful birds fly away- 2) harm it btw...isn't it slightly previous due for trimming? shouldn't that be performed in chilly climate?

if you can't see though it then how do you even know there is a nast of any kind even there just know this it wouldn't be a bird nest even thoe there are birdes that have there nest on the ground. the only way your gone to know is move as much as the bush to the side long enough so you can see what it is. get a friend to help you. then you will know for sure okay.

Shouldn't you be asking this in the "Singles" group? *laughter*
You would be getting FEWER immature responses had you taken a more mature tack to your question and asked, "What is nesting in this bush?" You opted for the infintile version of the question: mine! mine! mine!

yeah i agree with the other answers, poor phrasing!
but i would say it's probably a burrowing creature like a gopher or something that sticks around a littler later in the season like squirrels

call the Audubon society or local zoo to see if they recognize it by your description.
also animal control can come and look at it and help you identify what is there!

I think it may be a rodent. I don't know where you live, but I don't think from your description that it would be a bird.
