    Default Bird nest in my 580K stack

    I had been absent from my property for about 5 weeks due to vacation and other commitments. Yesterday I fired up the backhoe and a few small grass type pieces of debris came out. A little more throttle to blow it out and the stack pukes out a birds nest along with a couple of blue eggs. Never would have thought a bird would nest in that stack. Mine has the stock, angled at the end, style stack.

    Sounds like you need to come up with a stack cover. Then, only wasps can build a nest in there.

    A 3 lb. coffee can will do (except for the wasps).

    thousands of trees and that stack looked more appealing for a nest.

    I just put some aluminum foil over the stack. Cheap and effective. No wasps either.
