A couple of year's ago, we had a couple of birds build their nest in the upper part of our deck in early March. They were incredibly territorial and we could never go out on the deck, but we couldn't bear to make them leave either. This year, it looks like another pair have created a nest in our hanger. While it seems a little late to be nesting, every time I walk on to the deck these birds fly out of the hanger and watch us from the roof next door.
Yesterday, I watered the plants excessively (without knowing about the bird family) and I'm not sure if they had moved in at that point or not. Now, I'm terrified to water the plant, but I don't really want it to die either. Fortunately, it is pretty easy to care for - the plant tags even claim to be drought proof!
So, I'm thinking it's a job for my husband, who does not have as many qualms about watering the birds out. I've never heard of birds building a nest in a planter, but what else could they be doing?
