All birds are protected unless there is an order from the Minister for the Environment allowing you to shoot certain species of birds for crop protection during certain periods or they are game birds in season.I think some birds are protected.
Heard noise in my sitting room, coupled with lots of stuff coming down the chimney and onto floor and discovered it would appear there is a nest in my chimney. I have not got one of those hat type things on chimney. Someone suggested that I get someone to clean the chimney and scupper the nest.
Have to say I was absolutely disgusted, would not do that while birds nesting. Anyone any idea how long it takes for nest to be flushed as will do it then.
I live in a detached house but my next door neighbour has complained that birds that have nested somewhere in our gutter, are destroying his windows and car with their droppings.
I don't want to take out the nest, they don't bother me and guess the birds will be gone in a few weeks time anyhow. I think they are starlings.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I'm flabbergasted to say the least and feel it is a petty complaint. I'm new here so don't want to fall out over this.
Offer to wash the car . . . ? Forget about it.
Birds do this kind of thing. It's not as if it is unnatural. If it was your own personal pet seagull who lived in your garden and decided to do a few circles of the neighbours house after a good feed he might have a case, but it's not and he doesn't.
It's the car that is the problem, not the birds.

What - superstition? You're probably right there.Maybe its a culchie thing
I have a similar problem with starlings nests.....but all the neighbours have nests also....think the neighbour is mad to complain about such a thing...
As a general point...in preparation for next year....Is there anyway to stop the birds getting under the eaves ? could you get some chicken wire to cover the guttering ?
we have 3 nests this year...can't really hang clothes out as they get poo'd on. I think also a chick must have died in the last day or two as there is a desperate smell in our utility room....
