:D
I feel your pain.
I live in a 300 year old log house so the concept of “keeping animals out” is but a fantasy I sometimes pointlessly entertain.
:)
Today, it’s chilly so I thought I’d open the window instead of using the AC.
Haven’t done so for several weeks and when I went to open it, lo and behold, there’s a sophisticated bird nest against the outer sill...and two Wrens busily laying plans of some nefarious sort.
So, the window’s staying shut until they’re done.
The upside is that they apparently cannot see me looking at them, even though I’m mere inches away, so I get to watch the whole family thing happening.
There’s a network cam right beside them so I could also rotate it and watch them on my PC.
Got lemons? Make some lemonade! heh
At least they are still essentially outside and their mess can be washed away when they're done there. I estimate the cost of repairing each bird hole at about $100 bucks if I paid someone to do it and they've run up about $1,300 in damages so far. Dagnabit!
