The Birds

Okay so I had a customer call with a bird problem.  Above her porch, they had built the upper porch of the building in such a way that they had created perfect nesting areas for birds.  Here you are looking up at a ceiling of rafters, and to the right you can see these perfectly designed bird house ledges at the top of the white wall.   They were all filled with bird nest material.

SO . . . I went to the hardware store and searched for some kind of chicken coop anti-bird material, and I came up with “hardware cloth.”
