May 7, 20179 yr Look what they did to my bedroom window screen? Not sure what kind of birds, looked like a wren in size with a reddish red. I'll have to get it re-screened using aluminum screen. Danl Edited November 19, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston Added tags
May 7, 20179 yr They are persistent. I'm surprised they were able to cut little pieces off. I had some trying to build a nest in the awning where the door would hit it. Took a few days to discourage them. Hopefully they got it build somewhere else.
May 7, 20179 yr Author My friend said to shoot them. Somehow I think I would have a bigger problem. I'm sure they are using the screen for nesting material. I hope that do not go to the front of my home. I installed Anderson ReNewals in 2015. I have no idea how to get rid of them. Danl
May 8, 20179 yr Danl, you could try discouraging them by getting one of those rubber snakes - or a real cat... In my fig tree a couple years ago we hung up some old CD/DVD's in the tree. The wind would blow them around and the reflected light would discourage the birds - for a "little while". Cal
May 8, 20179 yr If a wren-sized bird can pull your screen apart, it's probably time to replace it anyway. (The screen, not the bird.) John
May 8, 20179 yr Please ignore the QUOTE box below. Can't seem to get rid of it. Here's a link to the snake we use to discourage swallows from nest building. They work. https://www.amazon.com/Rubber-RAINFOREST-Figures-Anaconda-Constrictor/dp/B002UQ39EQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494239556&sr=8-1&keywords=rubber+snakes+to+keep+birds+awayhttps://www.ama Quote

May 17, 20179 yr Cut the grass but do not collect the clippings the birds will go after the straw faster then the screen.
May 18, 20179 yr Hummingbirds use spider webs to build their nest and they do a good job. We welcome swallows and Bats as they eat many and I mean many Mosquitos. If we could cross a swallow, bat, hummingbird and an F16 fighter we would only need a one plane Air Force. Preston
