    We have some robins here that will do the same thing. At first I thought it was just one bird but lately I have changed my mind about that.

    My littlest piney got some excavator lessons from his grandpop today. We had a few stumps and trees do dig out and trees to push over so we figured it was time he got to learn the controls. He said over and over "this excavator has so much power!" :rofl: :lol:

    On the outside...just find a place to sit/hang it...even some light fishing line closed into the window would work.
    On my truck they'd see themselves in the mirrors and then crap all over the window n door like that...stupid birds

    I do get the territorial compulsion, and a desire to protect their nesting place.

    Don't fault them on that.

    Generally I'd let minor stuff slide, but 2 days in a row just chapped my backside today.

    I see where they're nesting, would be a simple solution, but, I'd prefer it went a different route.

    :yes::salute:

    From what I have learned, yeah, they don't know what they look like.. so any same bird is a potential foe.

    Being nesting season, they're on overdrive.
    :picard:

    I figured parking away would resolve the problem.. guess not.
    :doh:

    Can't say I made it there more than every other year, but I heard the Dollar Tree company went under. Sad.

    Took my lunch break to go over to a rental house to prune the hydrangeas and fertilize trees. Someone in the neighborhood has free range chickens and guineas apparently. I guess they thought I was spreading feed around each of the trees...I don't think they enjoyed the taste of fertilizer.
