How do I keep sparrows from nesting?
This is a tricky question to answer. Sparrows are hard to get rid of. But you can try these simple to do's. First, try putting reflecting ribbons on the nest or where the birds are nesting. This ribbon or tape can easily be bought at the 99 cents store and you can see your reflection in it. Second, you can touch the nest. Birds will not come to a nest that has the human scent on it. Third, if all of these ideas haven't worked than get a little or big brother or strong male that isn't afraid to shoot the sparrows when they are at there nest. Good luck!! if none of these work remember the sparrows are just trying to go green! tee hee :0)
