How to Remove a Nest From a Window

Birds sometimes build nests in less than ideal places, such as around a window. This is not only inconvenient to you but also potentially dangerous for the birds. Children or pets could dismantle the nest and potentially destroy any eggs inside. The birds, after realizing the danger, might also have to abandon the nest. It's best for all involved to remove the nest as the birds are building it to encourage them to find a safer place. Always check your area's regulations, as it is illegal to dismantle active nests that contain eggs of certain types of birds. You can remove any nest before the birds lay their eggs.
