Re: What to do about birds nests on air conditioner?

We had pigeons on our a/c and we waited it out until the birds had flown from the nest- then we removed the nest and put mesh wire around the top so they couldn't come back. The thought of breathing the air coming in from them (pigeons are not at all neat- their bathroom is RIGHT in and around their nest) was disgusting- i didnt' even put my AC on until we got rid of the nest and cleaned it. HTH!

I think we have birds in our attic. I heard them today. It sounds like babies. DH is going to go up there this weekend and check it out. But I dont know what to do either with a nest and babies.

I just had this- a pigeon and a dove made a nest and there were babies in there!!! I was going to leave it until the fall , I do not use that air conditoner.... or whenever they would leave the nest- they did not leave- I called my lawn people and had my gutters cleaned and they took down the nest , I did not even ask them to and it is gone now, now they are just hanging out on my roof, I hope they leave.

I used to get them when I lived in my apt. I used to wait until the babies were hatched and out of the nest, then I would clean the nest stuff out. It usually was just arond the time i was going to turn on the ac anyway.

They would come back year after year and buld the nests. I kind of liked the chirpping of the babies!!

we waited for them to leave and then filled the spaces with insulation and cardboard.
