Help with Birds!

Posted by maizeylou Northeastern PA (My Page) on

I am asking for any and all suggestions to deter birds from building nests in our windows. We have the crank-out style windows upstairs and recently the birds have decided that the top of or inside the windows are ideal locations for nest building. I started keeping certain ones closed but closing them all is not possible. Can anyone help?

there is a post on the first page bird watching forum that addresses your concern if these are swallows. It is called "revisiting how to keep swallows from nesting"

Hi maizeylou,

we have the same problem with house sparrows trying to build nests in our bluebird houses. I have read that removing the nests early on whenever they start nest building deters them, and after a while they will give up nesting there. Good luck!
