I went outside to cook something on the grill about 2 weeks ago, and opened the lid to find a huge mess of a bird's nest inside. Then upon going to the underside of the deck, I find another birds nest there. Tore everything out, 24 hours later, the bastards had began building nests again in both places. So the grill got cleaned out again and is now in the garage.
Despite pulling the nest down from under the deck probably 15 times now, they continued to try and build it over and over again. So, someone suggested that I try something new, something so completely idiotic that I just had to attempt it, if for no other reason than to have a good laugh, or at the very least confuse my neighbors:
Well, I'll be damned, because believe it or not, this tactic appears to have worked. Who'd of thought that drawing a huge set of eyeballs (along with the added nose and toothy grin that I thought completed the ensemble) would scare the hell out of birds and keep them from building a nest under the deck? I sure didn't think it would work. I suppose this is better than Plan B, which was to get the pellet gun out and start blasting the SOB's!!!
