birds on window still

Why not enjoy nature instead of trying to kill it. I'd rather hear birds than the sounds of traffic. And for heavens sake please don't use nails or wire - it's inhumane and cruel.

I agree. The idea should be to encourage them to find another haven. They are easy to repel without any harm.

They do create quite a mess though...

When I moved out I had no choice as the A/C came with me. The poor birds looked confused with their nest gone. I only hope they found a new home.

I'm also in agreement about using a fake owl or cat instead of something that could harm them.

I heard that it's illegal to remove them during nesting season. You have to wait until the young are grown, flying around, and finding their own food.

It's too late.

And on the heals of this comes the horrible & sad news that several of the NYC Hawks have died recently!
Seems they most likely ate either Pigeons, Birds or Rodents that had eaten poison. Yet another reason to find non-lethal methods of bird removals or deterrents.

You know, I've heard of people eating pigeons. People ought be careful of what they do with poison. Idiots!
