We have a problem. Our front door has a decorative thing on it that apparently makes a perfect nesting place for robins.
Now, I hate birds. Or I am afraid of birds. In any case, I don't want birds on my front porch. I couldn't use the front door until the eggs had hatched and the birds had flown off.
You might see a little speck of red next to the bird nest. That was a fake bird that was supposed to keep the real bir
ds away. You can see how well that worked!
So, once the bird was gone, I put up bird spikes. These little plastic strips of spikes get glued on where you don't want birds to nest. They were easy to put up, and -- for the last three weeks or so, have kept the birds away. The real test will be next nesting season for robins.
Since I have put these up, I have noticed similar spikes in other places. Like on the tops of the letters on the sign at the local Kroger store. They don't appear to have birds nests on them, so I am very hopeful.
