The Garden Frog with C Renee on Mar 24, 2014Hang a wind chime or two. You need noise. I would even think about those statues that croak/talk on motion. for me I encourage the birds to build their houses in hanging baskets, birdhouses, and other hanging things around my deck and yard. This is something you may want to consider... Good luckHelpful Reply

Robyn Hill on Mar 24, 2014I always heard if you paint the ceiling a light blue color they wont nest because it looks like the sky, sounds silly but I've seen it work ! :)Helpful Reply

Front Porch Ideas on Mar 24, 2014Hi, Debbie. Our porch ceiling is painted blue which I think helps because it gives birds the impression that it's the sky. But admittedly, we did see a bird attempting to build a nest on our porch even with the blue ceiling. But they only brought a few twigs and then did not return. We talk about haint blue porch ceilings on our website. You could hang up an owl or fake snake on your porch as another option. Another idea is to put a piece of screen in the area where they like to nest. Hope those ideas help you! ~~Mary and Dave~~Helpful Reply

Muriel on Mar 24, 2014Are you trying to keep the birds out? If so take down the nest and put a loose piece of material so it hangs and flutters. Hubby hung a red rag from the garage and the swallows quit building. Thumb tacks worked. We would forget to start the season with a flag/cloth etc. so would clean the beginnings of a nest and then have to scrub. The swallows swooped the front door so back we wanted them elsewhere. We do love watching the birds, just not dive bombing us.Helpful Reply
