The momma bird was sitting so solidly, I thought she might have eggs already (even though they just started on this nest this morning). Then she was gone, so I went and peeked and no eggs. Removed nest and put some cut lemons and limes in that spot. Have ordered wind chimes, and owl decoy and wondering about the bird spikes. I have two of these spots on my porch at the top of the brick porch posts, up high by the porch roof, all protected, nice place to nest I guess.

Baby birds do sound cute but ugh, I saw lots of problems coming along. I hope the birds find a happy home.

So instead of a family of songbirds, you'll hanging annoying wind chimes and clamping fake plastic birds to your house?

I cannot believe DCUM approves.

"Song" birds don't sound like Maria Callas. They sound more like car alarms.

Lots do sound nice though. Take robin’s for example.

FFS, you are the hazard OP. Suppose your house starting having issues & falling apart from a higher power because you don't belong here in DC? How would you feel? MTMHYJU

NP. Except that birds are often not "harmless." I didn't mind birds building a nest in the arbor leading to our back yard...until they started attacking us every time we tried to walk through. So when we saw that the birds were starting to claim a spot in our portico right above the front door, you better believe we took steps to deter them. I did not want to be attacked every time I returned home.

Attacking people is the rare exception. What kind of birds were they?
