A local town hall welcomed new residents - after a family of blue tits turned a cigarette bin into their family home.<br /><br />The birds built a nest in a bin attached to Kettlesing Millennium Village Hall in North Yorkshire.<br /><br />A note had been placed on the bin warning smokers to dispose of the cigarette butts elsewhere.<br /><br />The bin is now home to three baby blue tits - each with their own 'hole' to peek through - and an adult female.<br /><br />Local resident, Elise Key, 35, spotted the nesting chicks before teaching a Pilates class.<br /><br />She quickly snapped a video and incredibly managed to capture the moment their mum returned to feed them.<br /><br />Elise, a physiotherapist, said: "I go there for my Pilates classes there twice weekly and the little note on the front of the box had been there for a few weeks but hadn't taken much notice of it.<br /><br />"I took the video as I was unloading my car and I could hear the tweeting. <br /><br />"I had a little peek down into the box and I was shocked to see birds in there.<br /><br />"Everyone was standing back looking at the birds. <br /><br />"You could see all the little birds poking their heads out. In one of the videos I got, I was panicking that some of them were going to fall out!<br /><br />"Every time I finished the class I came out and pointed them out to clients.<br /><br />"I'd heard the mum lingering around a little bit and when they all popped their heads up you could tell she was near - it was just so cute.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the feathery friends have since left their makeshift nest.<br /><br />Elise added: "They left a few days later as they were big enough to fly, you could tell.<br /><br />"A friend actually saw them fly the box!"<br /><br />She took the video last Thursday.
