Last year, when we painted the back of our house--which was a nightmare in and of itself--we also took down the massive screens on our back porch

go to the harwarestore and get some chicken wire and cover that.

Poor birdies do need to build nests. Fix it before the poor pregnate bird is like Mary, mother of God and has no room in the inn to give birth.

Yeah, I'm going to go to put some regular wire in criss-crosses where they want to build.

There are just so many spaces...

Sorry, Bird Jesus, but my porch is too nice for you to be born in.
Oh, shit, isn't he supposed to return as a lion, not a lamb? What if he's this totally fucked-up bulletproof pigeon and I don't let him build there and then he fucks me up?

Bird Jesus, please don't...oh shit, birds can't read. I'm fucked.

I was about to just agree with you, and then I was like, hmm, she looks familiar.

And then I realized you were on bmezine.

Small world?

Anyway - chicken wire. Yes.

OR, for a more "Ben" answer, it's time to adopt an owl.

Yesss, I was on BME sometime ago, but decided not to keep paying for that.

I can think of few ways to go worse than burial under piles of bird shit

I suppose we now have a valuable insight into how the statue of Admiral Nelson atop Nelson's Column feels

Birds are tenacious. And dumb. I think it was two springs ago when we opened up our BBQ grill on the back porch and discovered a nest. I swear there as only a hole in the back of the thing the size of a quarter, but they got in there and built their little hearts out. I alternated between laughing at the potential for a ready made bird feast, and feeling guilty because really, that was a pretty fly little shelter they found.
