Answer: I know a lot of people love to watch birds nest, but you should be careful allowing birds to nest in an area where you and/or your children walk. Bird droppings can not only be unattractive, but also dangerous because of disease. Build bird nesting area away from your home where you can give the birds a safe home without coming in contact with their droppings. As for scaring them away from your home, shiny and moving objects tend to do the job. Try foil, pinwheels, wind chimes, or rubber snakes. An outdoor cat is often very effective. Another option is interfering with their nesting by putting netting or upright sticks in the pots. Some have suggested ammonia or moth balls, but I have never tried those.

Another answer: I don't know much, but I DO know that bird won't build a nest if they think there is a snake around. The snake can be a rubber toy in plain sight, a carved wooden snake, or EVEN a wiggly line painted on a wall, railing, awning, etc. Another opinion: Why not let them go for it? I can't imagine anything more fun than watching a life cycle happening where once an ornamental, fairly lifeless, plant once existed.
