How do you keep a bird from nesting in your door wreath?

Birds can be very persistent when it comes to nesting, and door wreaths are a common target. Here are a few things you can do to try to keep a bird from nesting in your door wreath:

* Remove the wreath. This is the most effective way to prevent a bird from nesting in your wreath, but it may not be practical if you want to keep the wreath up for decoration.

* Hang the wreath higher. Birds are more likely to nest in wreaths that are close to the ground, so hanging the wreath higher can make it less appealing.

* Cover the wreath with a net or mesh. This will physically prevent birds from getting to the wreath.

* Place a fake owl or hawk near the wreath. Birds are naturally afraid of predators, so placing a fake owl or hawk near the wreath can deter them from nesting.

* Use a bird repellent. There are a number of commercial bird repellents available that can be sprayed on the wreath.

If you do find a bird's nest in your wreath, it is important to remove it as soon as possible. Birds are protected by law, so it is illegal to destroy an active nest. However, you can remove an inactive nest or a nest that is in the process of being built. To remove a nest, wear gloves and a mask to protect yourself from any parasites or diseases that may be present. Carefully place the nest in a plastic bag and seal it shut. Dispose of the bag in the trash.
