Ack......the robin is back again this year trying to build a nest on my front porch light next to my front door.

I know, I know, let nature win, and no I just can’t, I have to use that door to feed all my other birds. I can’t believe ALL the stuff she finds for her nest building. It’ll be about a week with me every day pulling down all her material for her to get the hint she can’t build there. I know I’m a meany. Not sorry.

1. Hey, you gotta protect your own habitat

[Hope22]

2. Can you stuff a box or egg carton up there until she gives up?

It might save both of you some frustration!🤣😁

3. I tried putting a heavy metalish can up there she just put the material on top of the can!!!

Gotta hand it to her, she’s a determined little bitch. I think it would have to be something with a pointed top so she can’t use the flat surface.

11. I wedged a board into that space and it solved the problem. Don't know if that will work for you but it did for me.

4. You got a robin

I got a wren. We hardly use our front door anyway, so the nest remains.

5. Have you tried placing an owl figurine in the area,...

... where she wants to construct her nest ?

How about bird/pigeon spikes. Available at Home Depot.

6. Hmmmmmm, owl figurine......that is possible......but those spike things??? Yikes, a big fat no to those.

[magicarpet]

7. Well with the spike thing,... the bird does not get stabbed by them.

It is just that they have no place to land without getting poked - so they move on to a less uninviting place.

8. Install a birdhouse made for Robins

9. Point well taken. Within the curtilage I will abide neither

rattlesnakes nor poison oak residing.

10. Our loving crows get rid of them silently. They raid the unguarded eggs.

Victory in the end game tactic.

12. Birds nest

Try putting lemon slices in the nest.

13. For years and years, I had robins who built a nest on top of my outdoor garage lights, but the lights never

seemed to bother them. It's a tradition to us now, so the coming of Spring means that the robins will soon be returning.
