It was not but 5 days ago that I got rid of a bird nest on the front porch. I had to wait until the 3 babies were full grown and flew away. A pair of finches are using our front porch ledge to nest, and, they dump nonstop all the way left and right along the sidewalk. I had to spray to clean it off, then 5 days ago I removed the nest. Yesterday, we discovered the two birds had rebuilt the nest, and now it has eggs in it. It's the dark spot up in the corner. NOOOO! More time and waste! Would you remove the nest and toss the eggs? That's my question, leave them alone or be a murderer? ...? ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-81973-222116-bird1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-81973-222117-bird2.jpg) I had that same problem. After they’re gone apply this to that lip https://www.birdbgone.com/bird-off-gel/

↑↑↑↑↑ I had sparrows building nests in these after putting them up to stop the pigeons from roosting! I think the sparrows were were worst then the pigeons.

As we rapidly destroy all of Gods creations and as we rapidly destroy the planet the only viable option would be to tear the house down and move it and leave that corner standing so the birds will survive.

Is the "human scent" real, or an old tall-tale?
If you touch the eggs or nest, will the parents abandoned the young due to human scent?
...?

...? Google says they will probably abandon it if moved, but there is a chance. Google also says moving or destroying the nest is a misdemeanor crime. The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 guarantees federal protection to nongame birds, their eggs and nests. “No person may destroy or take the nest, eggs, or young of any wild game bird, wild bird, or wild fowl protected by this code except as provided in this code,” Parks and Wildlife Code Ch. 64 reads.

Eat the fresh eggs and see if it keeps producing Yes. I like this idea.

Toss the eggs and replace them with some little turd balls and see how they like it.

I had the bird issue once and only once. Pulled a couple of lizards out of the tackle box, pinned them down around the nest building area and problem solved. They left and they didn't come back (mine didn't) but yours might be a little more persistent.

But don’t post it on a forum, it’s against federal law to remove nests or harass birds.
“The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 guarantees federal protection to nongame birds, their eggs and nests.”
