Seems like every year, the Robins want to build nests on top of my outdoor speakers under my covered patio. These tenacious little buggers take at least a weeks worth of nest daily or hourly nest destruction before giving up and moving on. This year they came back after 3 or so weeks and I beat them off in another 5 day marathon of nest removal and thought I was done for the season.
Last Saturday morning, they started again just before I was going out for the day. I am also leaving for vacation tomorrow for a week so I decided to take the speakers down until I get back.
During Round 2, I filled a 5 gallon bucket with nesting materials I knocked down over several days. Next year I need to make up some sort of Spike Plates I can secure to the speaker brackets that won't vibrate much.
The rake scared them a bit in the beginning, but they learned to ignore it pretty fast. The 3rd picture was about 2 hours worth of work.
