May 7, 20179 yr comment_108743 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 Report
May 7, 20179 yr comment_108746 Destructive little devils. Think they were after nesting material? Report
May 7, 20179 yr comment_108756 That would frost my butt. I'd bet it was gathering nesting material they were doing. Report
May 7, 20179 yr comment_108763 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. Report
May 7, 20179 yr Author comment_108766 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 Report
May 8, 20179 yr comment_108793 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 Report

May 18, 20179 yr comment_109843 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 Report
