Every Spring birds would try to build nests in the eaves of my patio. If I would try to be a nice guy and leave them alone, first of all, they would deposit bird crap all over the place. You've got to do some serious scraping to clean that shit up. Then, in the summer after the offspring had grown up enough to vacate the nest they'd leave behind communities of hungry fleas- I would wind up extravagantly flea bit. So, I tried to discourage the nest building. I heard somewhere that birds, for some reason, did not like being around tin foil, and so installed tin foil up in the eaves- which the birds then squeezed in behind to make their nests.Bird's nests are amazing constructions if you ever get a chance to closely inspect one.
