Bird Watching Blog

jenna – loves TB rays xo asked:

EVERY single minute, there’s always a bird on my porch with twigs and sticks building a nest. So far, there’s no babies or anything, but we put a plastic owl and they still keep coming, and we bought a wind chime to make noise to scare them away.

EVERY time we get rid of the twigs and stuff, after about 10 minutes, they come back and there it is again!

Is there any kind of chemical, spray, anything i can put to get rid of them!
Please dont say that i should do the humane thing, and wait it out- because my life is more important that a birds! lol
actually, they are a nusianse, because i cant use my front porch to leave and go into my house if their there 24/7!
OK-first, i posted this question for a LEGIT answer. -NOT to hear people’s rude opinions.

We got a bird house exactly like the one in this picture http://www.pawtographs.com/assets/images/Bird_House_Icon.jpeg

A pair of tiny birds has moved in.
When the babies are born, will they be able to get out when they are ready to fly? There is no swing door on the bird house, only a little hole.
Thanks.

I had a reef on my front door, a bird decided to make a nest in the center of it and have little birds. I didnt bother it because the bird had its “babies” there and felt bad kicking them out. Well I guess they matured and the bird family left. They left a strong scent on my door area that I cant remove. I used Mr. Clean to clean the door, and it worked for a while, but still there is an odor from the birds on the door. Does anyone have any ideals to help me fix this???

There has been a nest repeatedly used on the side of our house for several years now, im not sure if its the same set of birds each time or not. Currently, it looks to be a black/white chickadee (or something really simliar). We live in upstate NY and my brother checked out the nest while the mother was gone, there are TEN eggs!! 5 all white, 5 white w/brown speckles all over them (all same size). Any ideas? Ive been aware of a species that lays their own eggs in other birds nests, once hatching, the intruding much larger baby birds kick out the original babies, and the mother just continues feeding them as if they were her own. Will 10 babies survive? If not, we are willing to take some out and try to hatch/raise them on our own (we know how it all works), but if 10 will survive with the mother, we would much rather let them be. thanks.
parasite bird would be Brown-headed Cowbird (i think)
okay, i would call someone to come take the eggs if i knew who to call…? what will happen to the eggs once taken? are they hatched/released or destroyed?
it may be illegal but i interfere with nature on a pretty constant basis honestly. if i see an injured/sick animal i think i can help ill give it a try. like if one gets hit by a car, i stop and take it to a rehabilitator. Last winter, i stopped after someone killed a possum and there were over 10 babies still alive inside, so i put them in my car and took them to be hand raised. I dont mettle where i dont need to. If i knew the eggs would hatch & survive, id be much happier leaving them but if one species is going to die either way, i might as well try to save them or find someone else who can.

Every year the same birds build their nest above our front door. It’s gross because the babies crap all over the place and they make it hard for visitors to get to the door. Even when we knock the nest down they come right back or move to the other side. The babies even come back. HELP!!!!!!!
