boy birds not easy u know.they were making a nest in a flower on my porch.i removed the nest and they showed me they put it right back
I reside in Toronto. We have a major problem with them especially pigeons. To tell you about it will take too long but they are a nuisance. It is against the Law to harm them or kill them. If we do and are caught, we will be arrested.
Last year spring I heard what I thought were bird noises coming from the outside bedroom window sill. I peeped through the screen and noticed a bird which had nested and laid eggs in winter. I shooed it away but it returned. I used cold water; then hot water but the mother kept returning. I devised a plan to open the screen of the window and pushed them down. This finally did it. However, another set were back again this year spring. I did the same thing and they left. They are always looking for a comfortable, cozy place to nest.
There are some smaller birds which fly around and nest on the trees. Another problem we have is with squirrels and raccoons which is a bigger problem. Some foolish people feed them which keeps them in the vicinity. The City authorities warned not to feed them for this and other reasons. We just have to do what we can without harming them for as I said, it is against the Law to do so.
Nice picture Fitzroy…I would label this one ‘invasion of bird privacy..’lol
That’s so beautiful. The Fou-Fou is resting comfortably on its nest. It has toiled so hard to complete its nest so now is quiet time. Great picture, Mr. Bertrand, keep up the good work.
What could be bad, if they remain on the trees which are not crops, it will be no problem. Otherwise, if on the trees that bear crops, they will destroy them which is sometimes the case.
