Birds Nesting

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Recently since the house has been finished we have had some birds move into the roof and set up home. As far as I can see about 4 different places where they have found a way through the "defenses" we installed.

To be honest three of the nests aren't really a problem, but one nest is in a place where the mess they make is spread all over some steps up to the stoop. This is the problem one.

My question is this.. Can I move them or disuade them from wanting to be there ? Secondly will they be nesting for long.. ? If they are gonna be finished after a short while then I'll just leave em to it and block the access when they have gone.

Cheers

One problem with letting birds nest in your roof is the rubbish they leave behind (including dead chicks) attract rats and snakes.

Best to move them out and block access to prevent access IMO.

Are they sparrows or another type of bird?

I'd be concerned about the food source for snakes too. Get rid of them now. If there are any eggs, you could lightly boil them - substitute for the ? Phillipino delicacy fertilised duck eggs! :o

We have sparrows nesting on a regular basis, they're no real trouble as they use a bush on the balcony and the space behind the aircon.

Once they've finished construction and laid some eggs it's 10-14 days before they hatch (you can tell when that happens as the noise level increases) then another 14-18 days before the young fledge (at that point we have young birds flying around crashing into things).

Ours will nip in and out even when we're sat outside, nice to watch.

Remove the nests after they've gone (wear a mask) then bung up their access with something solid.

Thanks for the link guardian... some good suggestions there..

Crossy..

That was the answer I was looking for really, like I said.. three of the nests are fine really, it's just the one thats the problem. I know where they are getting in, so when they have gone, I'll block up the entry points.
