Funny place for a bird nest

[Golfgar4]

We had some wrens build a nest on an artificial flower arrangement my wife hung on the front door. She put it on the door on Tuesday, and Wednesday when I went out to get the paper, the nest was already there. When the wife saw it, she posted a small sign on the door telling anyone that comes to the front door to go around to the side door so the nest isn't disturbed. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

They built nests in my PVC pipe fittings. The 3" and 4" fittings on my shelves had nests in them.

It was fun to watch mama bird sneak in past me to feed the baby birds.

After a few weeks they all few away and I cleaned up the nests.

Talk about quick work....I just installed my boat hoist two weeks ago, and put a cover over the unit. Didn't really need one since it's inside, but I thought it looked better than just having the open motor and hoist unit hanging there. The cover shields the unit from weather, etc., but is still open on one side. Big mistake. Within 30 minutes of finishing the project and putting the cover on, the wrens had a half-built nest in it. Needless to say, the cover came off.

I watched this one try to be built for a couple of days. The respirator is hanging in my garage which gets closed each night. Sometimes he got closed in and sometimes closed out. He finally gave up and I assume found someplace with less restrictions on his comings and goings.
