We have a couple of very persistent robins trying to build a nest on our porch light:
We do not want them building a nest here. I know a family whose house burned down when birds built a nest on the porch light. We never turn out light on, so this shouldn't happen, but I still like to be safe about things. Also, we use our front door to get our morning paper and when we run, so I don't want to irritate them or have them abandon their babies due to our presence.
I removed one nest and tried to get them to nest on our window ledge, but they ignored that and built another nest on the light. Thomas removed that one and placed it on the downspout:
They have shown no interest in this relocated nest. I'm not sure what to do. I'm thinking about just giving in to the robins. They should have scouted the location, so maybe they're OK with us going in and out through the door. Thomas is not ready to surrender, but maybe if I mention removing the light bulb he'll change his mind. We could go in and out through our back door, though it's certainly less convenient, but my paper delivery guy already thinks I'm a little crazy, so we're pretty much stuck there.
