One of those things you never consider...
My studio is in an older house. I had the roof redone a few years ago, but neglected to redo the 'chicken wire' scuppers that allows airflow under the eaves.
Unfortunately, now, each spring, a new set of birds tears into this and sets up a nest in a different spot. And the racket is really quite something--it's reaching a crescendo right now.
In fact, it's bad enough that any critical recording has ground to a halt as the tweeting/screaming from the baby birds is quite noticeable.
I've had several people round who all counsel the same thing: KILL 'EM! WALL 'EM UP! Like Edgar Allan Poe. But I noticed that none of them volunteer to do the fowl deed.

So... I'm countin' the days. And learning a lot about bird behaviour (I can see the parents doing feedings and starting to try and coax the little SOBs out.)
And after they're gone, I'll stop being a cheap bastard and redo -all- the scuppers once and for all because, if ya don't? As that guy in Jurassic Park says: nature finds a way.
It's really not all that funny as it's costing me money. I alternate between self-loathing (not having the guts to just kill 'em) and real bird hatred (I'll go to Wal-Mart, buy a gun and kill every motherfuckin' winged creature in the neighbourhood!)
