My Bird Project


Last year a pair of doves spent weeks trying to nest on the motion detector light in my backyard just under the roof eave. This went on and on and resulted in the cement being littered with nest making debris. At first I thought my lovely well trained puppy was the cause but soon I saw the birds at work.....So i thought i would staple a cardboard box up in the corner to see how that would work...The box worked good but on batch 2 of baby birds it had what I would call a Gangsta Lean....so of course naturally I applied duct tape to secure it.......
Finally after the birds had moved out for the summer I installed a piece of wood with some L-brackets.......Still a little less then aesthetically pleasing......but a step up at any rate.

Then the birds came back or a new set came and hooray 2 new babies..=) At this point the "babies" look almost as big as their mom. As you can see from the pic....some remnants of duct tape remain......
