kestrellI understand that it is nesting season, and I'm okay with you choosing my aerie as the site for your home.
What I am not okay with is the constant tapping and scrabbling, which I can only guess is the bird equivalent of redecorating.
And at 5 a.m.?
You're like the Felix Unger of avians.
Chill out, or there will be consequences.
I still have plenty of shiny Mylar tape left, and I'm going to get it from the Closet of Mysteries *right now*..

Date: 2016-03-17 10:38 am (UTC)A good suggestion, but would the sticky tape also catch lots of insects, which would attract more birds?
Also, I live on the attic floor, and the space the birds are in is next to my window, so it's a spot that difficult for me to reach.
We're supposed to get some work done on the outside of the house, so I will point that spot out to the contractors, who will probably show up after nesting season.

Aiiiiiiie!
Your equanimity is SO INSPIRING!
What are your mylar tape plans?
The reply was:
One of the anti-pigeon products sold in Chicago is a sticky substance that's also used to trap inchworms on tree trunks. Pigeons are strong enough to escape from it, but they don't like having that stuff on their feet. I suppose you could try to leave the tape sticky side up and thus render the area unattractive for walking on? Which probably works better for pigeons than other birds.
