MORE birds? Geez

So lately I've been noticing all kinds of sticks and crap in my driveway. I've also noticed that lately a couple of pigeons seem to be hanging out on my house and the neighbor's house. Hmmmm...


I look up into my eaves and what do you know? Pigeons! It looks like when they redid the roof they built right over the cedar roof, and left a deadspace just above the kitchen. You can't tell in the pics, but it goes up to a wedge where nothing can get up to. However, it's not stopping this young couple from trying to raise a family upstairs from me. I don't recall them ever asking me, or even offering to pay rent, but such is the times we live in.

Just LOOK at the freakin squatters! Moving in like they own the place, without a care to the world!


I was going to board up the hole, but I took pity on them (since they're pleasant to have around, and they haven't crapped on my car or anything) and I made them a ledge to put their faggots in. I cut a piece of OBF to 20"x4" and hammered it up into the space. Doing this 18 feet off the ground can be a tad harrowing.

Here's one of the nervous parents now, sitting on the telephone pole wondering WTF ARE YOU DOING TO OUR NEST??? I'm fixing it, you retarded birds!


This is all the leftover sticks after I was done jamming them up into the hole. It looks like they have enough for three nests! I even saw one pick up a twig and try to make it stick up in there this afternoon, watching it fall down to the ground. You could almost hear the sadness as they thought 'awww, not again! maybe the next stick will be different!' I just had to do something for em.



Here's a closer view. For all my troubles they'd damn well better use the freakin nest or I'm pelletizing them. OK I won't really. That would be mean.



What IS it with me and birds lately?
